Until we live in a world based purely on sliding doors, door hinges will remain some of the most unsung heroes of our society. We'd still be able to saunter through door frames, sure, but nothing would so seamlessly connect the place we once were with the place we are going. On a metaphorical level, door hinges represent an intermediate state we use to move back and forth, and decide when to lock ourselves in the locations of here or there.
It is thus only fitting for a goddess to be named for none other than the door hinge: Cardea. And now, thanks to Clay Chilcutt, a student at the University of Georgia, there is a cosmic object named for this goddess.
