elnyúlást

Elnyúlást is a Hungarian term that translates to "stretching out" or "elongation" in English. It is a general concept used in various contexts to describe a process or state of becoming longer or extending over a greater distance or duration. The specific meaning of elnyúlást depends heavily on the field or situation in which it is applied.

In physics, elnyúlást can refer to the stretching of materials under tension, where their length increases. This phenomenon is governed by material properties like elasticity and tensile strength. In astronomy, it is sometimes used to describe the stretching of light from distant objects due to the expansion of the universe, a concept known as redshift.

In a more abstract sense, elnyúlást can describe the extension of time, such as a delay or a prolonged period. It can also refer to the spatial elongation of objects or areas, implying a distortion or stretching effect. The term is often used in everyday Hungarian conversation to describe the physical act of stretching one's limbs or the feeling of a long, drawn-out event.
