  • Now there's a space to be filled, in the too-warm air of my room, and a time also; a space-time, between here and now and there and then, punctuated by dinner.†   (source)

  • They're afraid to release the stats because people might just give up, but take it from me, we're running out of space-time.†   (source)
  • For instance, at the very moment that Arthur said, "I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my life-style," a freak wormhole opened up in the fabric of the space-time continuum and carried his words far far back in time across almost infinite reaches of space to a distant Galaxy where strange and warlike beings were poised on the brink of frightful interstellar battle.†   (source)

  • Theoretically it was possible to match two points in contra-rotation, twisting the insubstantial fabric of space-time in exact step with "real' motions; practically such a solution was not only terribly wasteful of energy but almost unworkable— the ground surface beyond the gate tended to skid away like a slidewalk and tilt at odd angles.†   (source)
