geodesic incompleteness [¦jē·ə¦des·ik ‚iŋ·kəm′plēt·nəs]

(relativity)

Property of a space-time wherein there exists at least one timelike or null geodesic that cannot be extended to arbitrarily large values of its affine parameter; such a space-time contains a singularity. Also known as g-incompleteness.
