Definition:Ordinary Space

Definition
Ordinary space (or just space) is a word used to mean the universe we live in.

The intuitive belief is that space is 3-dimensional and therefore isomorphic to the real vector space $\R^3$.

Hence ordinary space is usually taken as an alternative term for Euclidean 3-dimensional space.

Also known as
Ordinary space can also be referred to as physical space but that term is also used in common parlance to mean a particular volume for day-to-day deployment of stuff.
