Distance is a numerical or occasionally qualitative measurement of how far apart objects or points are. In physics or everyday usage, distance may refer to a physical length or an estimation based on other criteria (e.g. "two counties over"). Since spatial thinking is a rich source of conceptual metaphors in human thought, the term is also frequently used metaphorically to mean a measurement of the amount of difference between two similar objects (such as statistical distance between probability distributions or edit distance between strings of text) or a degree of separation (as exemplified by distance between people in a social network). Most such notions of distance, both physical and metaphorical, are formalized in mathematics using the notion of a metric space.
In the social sciences, distance can refer to a qualitative measurement of separation, such as social distance or psychological distance.

Time flies so fast,
That I have to agree and concur,
With Einstein's theory of relativity,
That Time is not constant,
Mind the explanation,
Because even we travel through time,
We still have each other's back,
We endure so much that we grow and coming back,
To every...
Hello, PHC. 👋😊 Meron po bang estimated time or light years distant as to how far can the gravitational pull of a black hole travel? Should it vary according to their sizes, if there is any?
