ˈsuperspace Physics.
[super- 5 d.]
A concept of space-time arising out of the attempt to quantize the gravitational field, in which points are defined by more than the usual four co-ordinates; also, a space of infinitely many dimensions postulated to contain actual space-time and all possible spaces.
1971Daily Tel. (Colour Suppl.) 7 May 35 Inside superspace there is neither space nor time. 1972Nature 15 Dec. 382/2 This point of view, which leads to the notions of ‘superspace’ and quantum fluctuation of three geometries, was described by Professors K. Kuchar̆ and J. A. Wheeler. 1974A. Berry Next 10,000 Yrs. 111 All the stars and galaxies that we can see are on the curved, solid part of the doughnut, while the hole in the middle represents the mysterious region of Superspace. 1975Physics Lett. B. LVI. 178/2 The usual supersymmetry transformation is then a linear transformation in the 8 dimensional ‘superspace’ of zA. 1976B. Zumino in Arnowitt & Nath Gauge Theories & Mod. Field Theory 262 We call superspace a space whose points are labeled by four commuting coordinates xα and by a number of additional totally anticommuting coordinates θa, θaθb + θbθa = o, which also commute with the xα. 1978Sci. Amer. Feb. 138/3 The superspace theories are elegant but technically complicated. 1980P. Davies Other Worlds v. 104 We may construct a different world for each shape of space. Stitching them altogether [sic] gives us an infinite-dimensional superspace. Contained in superspace are all the possible spaces... Each space of superspace will contain its own superworld of all possible particle arrangements. |
