where the universe leaves things it hasn't gotten around to using yet.
means a slang term for orbital or gravitational parking spots (like lagrange points) where objects can sit stably without drifting away.
from riffs on lagrange points, the five spots where gravity from two large bodies (like earth and the sun) cancels out enough for smaller objects to hover in relative stillness, first mapped mathematically by joseph-louis lagrange in 1772.
