(n.) SPRACKET: 1. Something you don’t really need but might as well have. Related to “widget”, “gizmo”, “thingamajig” and “thingamabob”. 2. A better mousetrap
I got a spracket so I could clean stuff off the kitchen floor with a dish sponge without bending over or using a nasty mop.

When the person is soo... THERE. They take too much space
Whether doing something, or doing nothing... You would literally think twice before getting to the otherside without facing a hassle of any sorts. That's how much space they take. It could be for better or worse. But all in all, it exists. It's there, and... you can see it... and... u can't sidestep next to it without bumping. That's how much width they posses.

"Person A walks into a hallway..."
Person A: Can you please move?
Person B: NO!
Person A: Tskk!!! Spacetaker!
"Person goes back down to his car, drives home, and takes the day off work!"

Get the Spacetaker mug.A next-level concept beyond relativistic computing that uses the gravitational aspects of Einstein's General Relativity for information processing. The idea is to exploit the warping of spacetime itself—like using the gravity wells of black holes or the stretched fabric around massive objects—to perform calculations. Think of it as using the universe's geometry as a computational substrate. Time dilation isn't from speed, but from gravity.
Example: A "black hole server farm." You lower a sealed compute pod toward the event horizon of a small, artificial black hole. From the perspective of distant operators, time for the pod grinds almost to a halt due to intense gravity. The pod performs an impossibly complex calculation (like modeling climate over millennia) in what feels like a few hours of external time. You then retrieve it, having effectively performed vast amounts of computation in a short external timeframe. It's the ultimate overclocking—using gravity to freeze a processor's clock so it can do more ticks relative to the outside world. It's Spacetime Computing.

Get the Spacetime Computing mug.The hypothetical (and probably impossible) idea of sending information using or through the fabric of spacetime itself, rather than through it. This includes notions like wormhole comms, quantum entanglement "spooky action" that somehow transmits data, or manipulating gravity waves to carry a signal. It's the dream of instant, non-local chat across the universe, violating the standard light-speed limit by treating space and time as a manipulable medium.
Example: In sci-fi, this is the ansible. A more "physics-y" but still speculative example might be creating and stabilizing two entangled quantum wormholes (Einstein-Rosen bridges), one kept on Earth and one sent to a colony ship. Modulating the quantum state of one instantly affects the other, in theory allowing for faster-than-light messaging. In reality, it's probably a pipe dream that breaks causality, but it's the go-to concept for any story that needs galactic empires to have a functioning internet. It's Spacetime Communication.
