Friction of distance is a core principle of Geography that states that movement incurs some form of cost, in the form of physical effort, energy, time, and/or the expenditure of other resources, and that these costs are proportional to the distance traveled.

Distance decay is commonly represented graphically by a curving line that swoops con- cavely downward as distance along the x-axis increases. It can be mathematically represented by the expression I = 1/d2, where I is a measure of spatial interaction and d is distance (The Stands4 Network 2013).

The distance decay effect states that the interaction between two locales declines as the distance between them increases. Once the distance is outside of the two locales’ activity space, their interactions begin to decrease.

Distance decay is a phenomenon observed between locations or ethnic groups- the further apart they are, the less likely it is that they will interact very much. In essence, distance decay describes how things like communication and infrastructure break down relative to distance from a cultural center.

Distance decay is the idea that the farther away you are from goods or services, the less likely you are to make use of it. For example, if you live in a rural area, it’s likely that you travel to a bigger city 100 miles even if it offers bigger and better goods and services.

Distance decay refers to the decrease or loss of similarity between two observations as the distance between them increases. A negative relationship between distance and similarity is implicit in several ecological and evolutionary phenomena (e.g., species turnover along an environmental gradient).

As the distance from the city center increases, the accessibility decreases, resulting in the decrease in derivable utility and rent. Hence, distance and land rent bear a negative relationship termed as distance decay.

The lessening in force of a phenomenon or interaction with increasing distance from the location of maximum intensity; the inverse distance effect.

The distance-decay [25] effect is defined as a negative correlation between the weight of stone materials at a site, and the site’s distance from the raw material source, and it has been identified from various Early Stone Age hominin archaeological sites [25–28].

Distance decay effect is the decrease in interaction between two phenomena, places, or people as the distance between them increases. Space time compression is the increasing sense of connectivity that seems to be bringing people closer together even though their distances are the same.

Definition. Time and space compression is a phrase used to describe the decreasing space between people and ideas. Social networks, blogs, websites and the entirety of the Internet are the most recent examples of time and space compression.

Space time compression is the increasing sense of connectivity that seems to be bringing people closer together even thought their distances are the same. Space time compression is the solution to distance decay because technology (internet,cell phones) is allowing us to communicate more across longer distances.

Time–space compression often occurs as a result of technological innovations that condense or elide spatial and temporal distances, including technologies of communication (telegraph, telephones, fax machines, Internet), travel (rail, cars, trains, jets), and economics (the need to overcome spatial barriers, open up …

The ability of capital to shift resources to different places easily, and often with impunity to the disruption of life at the local scale, suggests that time-space compression may denigrate the importance of place in human society.

Some people benefit from time-space compression, like stock brokers, they feel comfortable with the changes brought about by more… and faster interconnections. Their economic and social relations take place easily within a larger linear space.

Time-space compression refers to the set of processes that cause the relative distances between places (i.e., as measured in terms of travel time or cost) to contract, effectively making such places grow “closer.” The idea of a “shrinking world” is not new and, in the face of rapid advances in travel, such as the jet …

For Giddens globalization refers to a ”stretching” of time and space from each other, stretching social relationships. It is ”the intensification of worldwide social relations which link distant localities in such a way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice versa” (1990:64).

Yes, Space/Time most likely can intentionally be compressed. The Tool: A Technological Singularity embedded in a true quantum computer, and entangled with the space/time volume of interest. Warping Space/Time and maintaining the related non-linear relationships as that compression responds to the entire universe.

To Einstein, time is the “fourth dimension.” Space is described as a three-dimensional arena, which provides a traveler with coordinates — such as length, width and height —showing location. Also, under Einstein’s theory of general relativity, gravity can bend time. Picture a four-dimensional fabric called space-time.

The idea of a time machine was popularized by H. G. Wells’ 1895 novel The Time Machine. It is uncertain if time travel to the past is physically possible.

At four times the horizontal and vertical resolution of 1080p and sixteen times the overall pixels, 8K images — named for the approximate number of pixels along the horizontal axis — are likely the clearest digital pictures the human eye will ever see.
