realspace
Non-hyperspace normal space
Realspace is the physical universe as opposed to virtual, digital, or imagined spaces.
The term originates in science fiction, where it distinguishes normal space from hyperspace, subspace, or other fictional dimensions used for faster-than-light travel: The ship dropped out of warp and returned to realspace.
In contemporary usage, realspace contrasts with online environments: We met in realspace after months of chatting online.
