English

Etymology

cosmo- +‎ -metry

Noun

cosmometry (uncountable)

1. The measurement of the world or universe.
   • 1980, Bern Dibner, Heralds of Science, page 74:

     This negative result held revolutionary implications which led directly thru Lorentz and Einstein to the acceptance of new standards of reference of time and space from geometry and cosmometry.

   • 2004, Jānis Langins, Jed Z. Buchwald, Conserving the Enlightenment, page 24:

     Practical geometry, in spite of its name, was the preserve of scholars who were interested in "practical" problems, most frequently in altimetry, planimetry , and cosmometry — problems using Euclidean geometry to prove rigorously the truth of their propositions.

   • 2012, Martin Bojowald, The Universe: A View from Classical and Quantum Gravity:

     When we extend geometry to cosmometry, we cannot be sure that no other gap in the rules exists.

   • 2016, Giuseppe Amoruso, Handbook of Research on Visual Computing and Emerging Geometrical Design Tools, page 395:

     Thanks to his [Athanasius Kircher's] Polyhedric interests – philosophy, history, science among them –, the study of perspective and geometry in general was introduced in unusual fields such as cosmometry, astronomy, orography, scenic design, and many others.

2. The exploration of the mystical forces or vibrations that unite everything in the universe.
   • 2011, Patricia Cori, Before We Leave You, page 25:

     Dr. Emoto has taken an awakening humanity great leaps ahead in our understanding of how consciousness affects matter, and how directing thought and sounds into the water molecules can actually alter the conscious imprints that have been held within them as "collective memory," assisting them in reaching their perfected organization as richly elaborated hexagonal formations and their corresponding representations as beautiful hexagrams of the most divine cosmometry.

   • 2013, Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose:

     There is a Cosmometry behind life that choreographs all actions. The closer you come to full awakening, the more harmoniously your life flows with this cosmometry.

   • 2014, DeAnne Hampton, The Shining Ones Ambassadors of a New Age of Light, page 322:

     There is not one moment of any action rippling across the planetary grid that is not received and attended to by the cosmometry of the Light.
