The nowhere is a space existing alongside the ordinary one, with different rules of physics.{{book ref|sky2|1}} The flow of time there appears to be disturbed; nowhere is often referred to as a "timeless" space, and it seems that only cytonics are able to perceive being there, with any other creature feeling as though no time has passed at all between exiting and reentering physical space.{{book ref|sky2|26}} This timelessness also extends to non-living beings, as signals and matter travelling through nowhere can cross vast physical distances in an instant.{{book ref|sky2|21}}
Little is known of the appearance or geography of nowhere. It's pitch black, with the only source of light being the eyes of the [[delver]]s. There is no gravity; however, the nowhere either has breathable air, or the people who enter it lose their need to breathe.{{book ref|sky2|26}} Despite that, there is some physical matter in the nowhere -- the [[acclivity stone]].{{book ref|sky2|25}}
Interacting with the nowhere leaves cytonics with a sense of cold and a strong headache for hours afterwards.{{book ref|sky1|epilogue}} Both of those effects seem to lessen the more a person interacts with nowhere.{{ref|text=In ''[[Starsight]]'', Spensa doesn't have the same experiences}}
== Access and Exploitation ==
Nowhere can be accessed by any [[cytonic]] by focusing and meditation.
The nowhere is also where [[acclivity stone]] is mined by the spacefaring species of the galaxy.{{book ref|sky2|25}}
