Why “intermundium” is a great word
INTERMUNDIUM — [Noun] A space or void between worlds or celestial bodies. From the Latin intermundium, singular of intermundia, from inter- ("between") and mundus ("world, universe"). Unlike an "interstice," which is a small, narrow gap within a single entity, or "limbo," an intermediate state of existence, an intermundium is a yawning, physical nothingness on a cosmic scale. It is the perfect silence between the spheres of Ptolemaic astronomy, the trackless abyss through which light travels for eons, and the cold vacuum that isolates one island universe from another—the necessary nothing that defines the very fact of otherness.
