AFAIK LaTeX ignores any white space greater than one single " "?!
On the output, LaTeX leaves a larger space after a dot if it perceives it to be the end of a sentence. That's why there's some tricks to make sure that "Dr. Skiadas" will be spaced properly etc.
It is pretty smart overall, I can't remember all the details.
LaTeX actually makes a space slightly wider than a regular space after the end of a sentence, but narrower than two spaces. But in LaTeX source, you can use as many spaces as you want.
