Subject field(s)
  • Relativity (Physics)
DEF

[A theory stating] that an object is directly influenced only by its immediate surroundings.

CONT

Locality seems to be a deep principle of physics. It's the idea that what happens at any given place in the universe doesn't (directly) depend on things happening in other places far away, but only on what's happening nearby.

French
