The waves travel with the velocity of light and slightly squeeze and stretch space transverse to the direction of their motion. The first waves we measured came from the collision of two black holes each about 30 times the mass of our sun.

I got really, really sick with a horrible disease called transverse myelitis; I lost my legs. I couldn't play anymore. It was a form of multiple sclerosis, which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

I got over the transverse myelitis stuff; I'm walking great, and I'm playing faster; I mean, I'm just playing all the time. I have to, just as exercise.

Used to describe something that crosses or intersects another object at a right angle.

Physical Crossing

'Transverse' is the opposite of longitudinal, which runs parallel to the long axis.

Not Longitudinal

In anatomy, indicates parts of the body that run side-to-side as opposed to head-to-toe.

Body Orientation

A transverse plane divides the body into top and bottom sections, like a horizontal slice.

Slice View

Shows wave movement at right angles to the direction the wave is traveling.

Wave Orientation

Transverse waves can be polarized, meaning their vibrations can be limited to a single plane.

Possible Polarization

Highlights properties involving lines intersecting or crossing each other.

Geometry Usage

While often at right angles, 'transverse' in math can involve any intersecting lines.

Not Always Perpendicular

 and simply go the other direction around the bow, we get this, the strong form of the knot. And if you pull the cords under the knot, you will see that the bow orients itself along the transverse axis of the shoe. This is a stronger knot. It will come untied less often.

 Constipation arises in the colon, also known as the large intestine. This muscular organ is split into four the ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid colon, which connects with the rectum and anus.
