spatial rift

Hole in space

A spatial rift is a tear or gap in the fabric of space, typically in science fiction and fantasy contexts.

The concept imagines physical space as a continuous medium that can be ripped open, creating a passage to another location or dimension: The portal opened a spatial rift between worlds.

The term appears in games, novels, and films involving interdimensional travel or cosmic disruption.
