Quotes About Spatial

There is no top or bottom, no absolute positioning in space. There are only positions that are relative to the others. There is an incessant change in the relative positions throughout the universe and the observer is always at the centre.

If you knew exactly where that moving object was, at any given moment, wouldn't that tell you the exact location of the observer on the ground?

Beyond the astral dimensions are the causal dimensions. They are not spatial or time oriented. They are planes of light, and they make up the outer limits of nirvana.

distance is created by time is further than space

Sense of place is the sixth sense, an internal compass and map made by memory and spatial perception together.

True 3D is, you have to kind of originate the images in three dimensions.

As bad as we are at remembering names and phone numbers and word-for-word instructions from our colleagues, we have really exceptional visual and spatial memories.

The Earth isn't an infinite sheet that carries on for ever, but it doesn't have an edge, either. It's compact and connected.

My definition is that geo-enlightenment is understanding the interconnectedness of things.

I believe that the brain has evolved over millions of years to be responsive to different kinds of content in the world. Language content, musical content, spatial content, numerical content, etc.

I went to film school, trained as a director, have made a lot of movies, and taken a lot of photographs, so I tend to envision things spatially. As I'm working, I need to have a map of the space. I need to know what's happening in all corners simultaneously.

I was diagnosed with a severe temporal spatial deficit, a learning disability that means I have zero spatial relations skills. It was official: I was a genius trapped in an idiot's body.

One of the most profound mysteries of autism has been the remarkable ability of most autistic people to excel at visual spatial skills while performing so poorly at verbal skills.

Research has also shown that when performing language tasks, the autistic subject relies on the visual and spatial areas of the brain more heavily than the neurotypical subject does, perhaps to compensate for a lack of the kind of semantic knowledge that comes with social interaction

Kozhevnikov, a lecturer at Harvard Medical School and a researcher at the visual-spatial cognition lab at Massachusetts General Hospital, is one of the first scientists to differentiate between two kinds of visual thinkers: spatial visualizers and object visualizers. In her 2002 landmark

Our sense of justice depends on our sense of time. Justice is a phenomenon only of consciousness, because time spread out in a spatial succession is its very essence. And this is possible only in a spatial metaphor of time.

I've got a real sense of three-dimensional geometry. I can look at a flat piece of fabric and know that if I put a slit in it and make some fabric travel around a square, then when you lift it up it will drape in a certain way, and I can feel how that will happen.

The truth is, I don't sketch much at all. I have a very visual/spatial brain that retains a lot of information about maps, directions, positioning, and details, so I usually prefer working out those issues on the page itself.

I have found that all of my memories seem to need a place and that a good part of what we think of as explicit memory has to do with location.

Such attempts lacked all semblance of mathematical rigor because of the lack at that time of satisfactory definitions of either the infinite of the infinitesimal. Arithmetic had not become sufficiently abstract and symbolic to free itself of spatial interpretations, for number was still interpreted metrically as a ratio of geometrical magnitudes.

However, the Hebrew word 'ôl?m, which is strictly speaking a temporal word meaning "age," gained new nuances from the contact of Jewish thinkers with the Hellenistic world. The word assumed spatial connotations, and thus 'ôl?m came to mean both age and the world.

I was diagnosed with a severe temporal spatial deficit, a learning disability that means I have zero spatial relations skills. It was official: I was a genius trapped in an idiot's body.

Space is merely a device to prevent everything from being in the same spot.

French neuroscientist Stanislas Dehaene has found that the less accurate, "there or thereabouts" bits of math processing uses visual and spatial brain areas, whereas the exact stuff requires the same areas as language processing.2 So to some extent, being a words person and a numbers person are kind of the same thing.
