Cauchy is a small lunar impact crater on the eastern Mare Tranquillitatis. It is circular and symmetric, with a small interior floor at the midpoint of the sloping inner walls. Due to the high albedo of this bowl-shaped formation, it is particularly prominent at full Moon. Just to the northeast of the rim of this crater is the wide rille named Rima Cauchy, a 210-kilometer-long cleft following a line to the northwest.
Southwest of Cauchy is a 120-km fault in the surface named the Rupes Cauchy. This wall parallels the Rima Cauchy to the northwest. South of Rupes Cauchy are two lunar domes designated Omega (ω) Cauchy and Tau (τ) Cauchy. They lie to the south and southwest of Cauchy respectively. Each lunar dome has a tiny craterlet at its crest.
Usage examples of "cauchy".
Damn it, there are only about a hundred humans farther from the Sun, and most of them are light-years away, in starships like the Cauchy, crawling at near lightspeed to God knows where.
After a century of subjective time, for both Michael and Miriam, the Cauchy would complete its circular tour and return to Jovian orbit, lost in Michael's future.
Look, I know how much it must have hurt, when Miriam Berg decided to fly out with the Cauchy rather than stay with you.
Tilting her head a little she could still make out the Interface portal—the wormhole end that had been left in Jovian orbit when the Cauchy departed for the stars, and through which this absurd earth-craft of the Friends of Wigner had come plummeting through time.
It was a comfort to imagine the worlds they had left behind on the far side of the spacetime bridge, still attached to the Cauchy as if by some umbilical of stretched spacetime, and living their lives through at the same rate as the Cauchy crew, patiently waiting for the starship to complete its circuit to the future.
Perhaps her Cauchy shipmates were already dead at the hands of the Qax—if that word "already" had any meaning, with spacetime bent over on itself by the wormhole.
He had maintained a Virtual image of the stationary portal in his quarters throughout that time, listening to endless, baffling commentaries about relativistic time dilation, closed timelike curves, and Cauchy horizons.
The boundaries had to satisfy criteria of regularity called Cauchy conditions.
By dragging a wormhole portal around a circuit light years across, the GUTship Cauchy would establish a wormhole bridge - not across space - but across fifteen centuries, to the future.
Because of the link, when it returned to the Solar System more than a millennium into the future of the System it had left, the Cauchy's Interface was still connected to its twin in orbit around Jupiter—where only two centuries had passed since the departure of the Cauchy, as they had for the Cauchy's crew.
To take the Great Northern—not to Tau Ceti—but on a circular trip, like Poole's Cauchy, to establish a time bridge.
By dragging a wormhole portal around a circuit light years across, the GUTship Cauchy would establish a wormhole bridge—not across space—but across fifteen centuries, to the future.
Poole was determined that the Port Sol project - and the Cauchy itself - wouldn't be compromised by events here.
