Geon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Geon is short for Geonim, rabbis in the medieval era.
- In geology, Geons are numerically specified geologic time intervals (geological eons) 100 million years long, counted backward from the present.
- In physics, a Geon was a hypothetical gravitational wave packet confined to a compact region by the gravitational attraction of its own field energy.
- In psychology, Geons are geometrical primitives out of which everyday objects can be represented, as suggested by psychologist Irving Biederman.
