Gauge vector fields that are sensitive to this structure of empty space can only propagate over a finite distance.

The point of perspective for the General Perspective Projection is a finite distance.

The shortest paths joining points a finite distance apart on a curved surface are generally not simple straight lines.

Domain wall is a gradual reorientation of individual moments across a finite distance.

Such pairs of events are called spacelike because they have a finite spatial distance different from zero for all observers.

On foot, in this weather, there was a finite distance she could travel before she passed out.

Some manufactures of small arms sights also make models with the optical collimator set at a finite distance.

For example, translational symmetry is present when the pattern can be translated (shifted) some finite distance and appear unchanged.

Is that because they travel only a finite distance?

The net effect is to partially cancel out the field at any finite distance.
