A space it can be the extension of the universe where all the sensible objects that compose it coexist, the unique and special particular place that will occupy each of these in, the distance that exists between two people or things arranged in a specific place in an environment, the distance an object travels in a given time and the space left between word and word when writing a story or one reviewas in this case and that finds its reason for being in the understanding by the other of what we write, which in case of not leaving the aforementioned space would make it impossible to understand a text.
This deep polysemy for the concept of "space" prevents the idea from being limited to an individual context or area. On the contrary, its versatility is at the same time a great wealth. For an astronomer, space will be the vastness of the cosmos. For the writer or graphic designer, it will be the terrain available to to write or draw. For the physicist, it will be the dimension that separates 2 objects in a given time. For all of us, it will be what the precise moment requires it to be.
Although also the term space is used to name a site or place, being as a consequence of this situation that the word is used to refer to the different fields especially related to art and culture in which people congregate to watch, learn and to exchange questions about these subjects and which are precisely known as art spaces or cultural spaces. Hence the name of Espacio de las Artes that is reserved for different museums or activities.
Likewise, it is common for the word associated with other issues such as public space and airspace is used. In these two cases, this conjunction of words with the term "space" refers us to the need to delimit the use and scope of specific spaces. that are not plausible for everyone to use. For example, in the case of a public space and as the list of words already indicates, it is the place in which any person will be able to circulate without the need for permits or additional costs, as is the case in the opposite cases: spaces private. Given that the public space belongs to "everyone", it is noted in the definition itself what is the reason why these areas are also cared for by "everyone".
And, in the case of airspace, the grouping of these two words also serves to name and limit a place; in this case it refers to the portion of the sky, an atmosphere that will control a nation determined and on which of course it will have absolute responsibility Y right that no other nation can arbitrarily take away.
Analogously to airspace, mention is made of maritime and fluvial space, in which a given nation exercises its sovereignty. Unlike airspace, which is nothing other than the extension "towards the sky" of the conventional borders of a country, the spaces above The waters arise from international conventions in the case of the oceans (beyond a certain distance the sea is not the heritage of no government constituted) or river courses, in which treaties between nations delimit their borders. The protection of water and air spaces is the responsibility of each nation based on its sovereign rights.
Finally, at present the "digital space", which consists of the anarchic world of Internet, in which the boundaries between personal and public space are more difficult to define and discern.
