  2. Equidistant set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equidistant_set

    In mathematics, an equidistant set (also called a midset, or a bisector) is a set whose elements have the same distance (measured using some appropriate distance function) from two or more sets. The equidistant set of two singleton sets in the Euclidean plane is the perpendicular bisector of the segment joining the two sets. The conic sections ...

  3. Equidistant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equidistant

    In two-dimensional Euclidean geometry, the locus of points equidistant from two given (different) points is their perpendicular bisector. In three dimensions, the locus of points equidistant from two given points is a plane, and generalising further, in n-dimensional space the locus of points equidistant from two points in n-space is an (n−1 ...

  4. Bell's spaceship paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell's_spaceship_paradox

    For instance, Bell argued that the length contraction of objects as well as the lack of length contraction between objects in frame S can be explained using relativistic electromagnetism. The distorted electromagnetic intermolecular fields cause moving objects to contract, or to become stressed if hindered from doing so.

  5. Hypercycle (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercycle_(geometry)

    In hyperbolic geometry, a hypercycle, hypercircle or equidistant curve is a curve whose points have the same orthogonal distance from a given straight line (its axis). Given a straight line L and a point P not on L , one can construct a hypercycle by taking all points Q on the same side of L as P , with perpendicular distance to L equal to that ...

  7. Distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance

    A metric or distance function is a function d which takes pairs of points or objects to real numbers and satisfies the following rules: The distance between an object and itself is always zero. The distance between distinct objects is always positive. Distance is symmetric: the distance from x to y is always the same as the distance from y to x.

  8. Identity of indiscernibles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_of_indiscernibles

    Black argues that even relational properties (properties specifying distances between objects in space-time) fail to distinguish two identical objects in a symmetrical universe. Per his argument, two objects are, and will remain, equidistant from the universe's plane of symmetry and each other.
