Torsion in a sentence as a noun

If tau means 2*pi, how do I represent torsion?

I can bet Lance Armstrong knows a thing or two about air resistance, tension, torsion and fatigue of parts.

So on some level, there's no reason that you must use a connection with non-vanishing torsion.

I usually keep a half diamond pick and a torsion wrench in my car, and sometimes I even carry it in my pocket.

The classical theory of gravity with torsion certainly does not explain dark matter.

If you look up "torsion" in the index of Vol. 2, the first reference is to the page with the equations I've referenced above... but the word "torsion" doesn't appear anywhere in the text of the page!

I'll never forget the day I noticed that the correct torsion of my body causes my lungs to breathe properly when I use proper form for front punch.

The author is trying to build some quantum theory of gravity, where torsion is required, speculating that it would explain dark matter.

I do not know why this author is so excited about torsion tensor, the idea that torsion could be non-zero has been around for at least 90 years, but got zero traction.

I don't think that non-zero torsion in itself is an outlandish idea, but I completely agree that it's fair to be skeptical of claims that torsion has significant observable effects.

If type-safety is a purely syntactical notion, then type is no longer a tool to enforce the distinction between different kinds of groups, such as abelian groups, torsion-free groups, etc.

Usual methods include picking a different variable to represent torsion, or appending a subscipt or superscript of some kind to differentiate between the two taus.

Different aspects of momentum space geometry, such as its curvature, torsion and non-metricity, are reected in different kinds of deformations of the energy-momentum conservation laws.
