Definition of Void

inritus irritus, irritus

The emptiness beyond the World.
A term used by Tolkien in various ways, but that in general seems to describe the uninhabited regions of the universe. In particular, the Void is that part of existence outside the World, but the Timeless Halls of Ilúvatar seem to be apart from the Void, too. After his defeat in the War of Wrath, Melkor was cast out into the Void, but legends predict that he will return to the World before its end.

Fear of voids or empty spaces, emptiness

a space or gap, usually at the head of the column, caused by settling or dissolution of the column packing; sometimes filled with glass beads or packing resin.

In a nuclear power reactor, an area of lower density in a moderating system (such as steam bubbles in water) that allows more neutron leakage than does the more dense material around it.

A cavity inside the solder joint formed by gases released during reflow or by flux residues entrapped before solidification.

The absence of material, or an area devoid of materials where not intended.

A vast and roughly spherical region of space which is surrounded by superclusters . These regions contain hardly any galaxies at all, although one or two have been found. Voids are connected to each other in a similar way to the holes in a natural sponge. Answering the question of why the universe should have this sponge-like structure is one of the great problems being faced by modern astronomy.

Shaped like an egg.

Any region in the metallization exposing oxide, that was not caused by a scratch.

The formation of a space. Usually at the head of the column. Caused by a settling or dissolution of the packing. A void in the column leads to decreased efficiency and loss of resolution. Even a small void can be disastrous for small micropaniculate columns. The void can sometimes be removed by filling it with glass beads or porous packing

Having no legal effect or consequence.

Contracts, bequests or legal proceedings may be void; these will be severally considered.

The invalidity of a contract may arise from many causes. 1. When the parties have no capacity to contract; as in the case of idiots, lunatics, and in some states, under their local regulations, habitual drunkards.

When the contract has for its object the performance of an act malum in se; as a covenant to rob or kill a man, or to commit a breach of the peace.

When the thing to be performed is impossible; as, if a man were to covenant to go from the United States to Europe in one day. But in these cases, the impossibility must exist at the time of making the contract; for although subsequent events may excuse the performance, the contract is not absolutely void; as, if John contract to marry Maria, and, before the time appointed, the covenantee marry her himself, the contract will not be enforced, but it was not void in its creation. It differs from a contract made by John, who, being a married man, and known to the coveiaantee, enters into a contract to marry Maria during the continuance of his existing marriage, for in that case the contract is void.

Contracts against public policy; as, an agreement not to marry any one, or not to follow any business; the one being considered in restraint of marriage, and the other in restraint of trade.

When the contract is fraudulent, it is void, for fraud vitiates everything. As to cases when a condition consists of several parts, and some are lawful and others are not, see article Condition.

A devise or bequest is void:. 1. When made by a person not lawfully authorized to make a will; as, a lunatic or idiot, a married woman, and an infant before arriving at the age of fourteen, if a male, and twelve if a female.. 2. When there is a defect in the form of the will, or when the devise is forbidden by law; as, when a perpetuity is given, or when the devise in unintelligible. 3. When it has been obtained by fraud. 4. When, the devisee is dead. 5. And when there has been an express or implied revocation of the will.

A writ or process is void when there was not any authority for issuing it, as where the court had no jurisdiction, In such case, the officers acting under it become trespassers, for they are required, notwithstanding it may sometimes be a difficult question of law, to decide whether the court has or has not jurisdiction.

vain; void; mountain of enjoyment
  

Sunya, Sunyata (Sanskrit) A void, vacuum, emptiness; the Boundless or Void. In mystical philosophy, especially Mahayana Buddhism, illusory being or existence, the emptiness of cosmic manifestation when compared with the nonmanifest reality. This recognizes that all manifested existence, high or low, on whatever plane, as compared with essential reality is after all illusory deception and therefore relatively false by comparison. Being false and unreal it is therefore empty of essential significance, although possessing a very positive relative reality, so to speak.
In a still more profoundly mystical sense, the word by inversion has come to signify the utter fullness of cosmic reality, which is a seeming emptiness to our imperfect human vision, and yet is the only Real.
The objective idealism which the theosophic philosophy teaches when considering the noumena and phenomena of existence shows a fundamental reality behind these, above and beyond all manifestations whatsoever, as the root and basis of all entities and things, which although relatively unreal in themselves because products merely, or because based on the various prakritis, nevertheless because so based have a relative reality derivative from this basic root.

To urinate. Just as we can void a check and empty it of value, so can we void our bladder and empty it of urine. According to Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, the intransitive form of the verb "void" means "to eliminate solid or liquid waste from the body." We do not agree with this definition. "Void" in this sense is only applied to "liquid waste" (urine), never to "solid waste’ (feces).

To urinate, empty the bladder.
