Shifting Into Hyperspace.
Monday, June 11th, 2007 by Admiral_CoeymanWhat if you actually broke a physical law? It is easy to say that it cannot be done. Are we not being a bit closed minded to deny that any way could be found to break a physical law? Some of us will not take no for an answer. I am in that group.
Something has to enforce universal laws. I do not believe that there is a physical limitation that would absolutely prevent violating a physical law. It might be funny to imagine an angel on a motorcycle pulling you over, yet, would that really be necessary? If you placed two physical forces at odds so that a physical law must be broken, then there has to be a real result. The universe is well enough designed to account for this.
My model says that you would be expelled into a universe where your violation was ‘normal’ for the universe. Why not? A simple quantum superposition of states collapses into a definite state that is rational for the observer. Do you expect Schrodinger’s cat to become Schrodinger’s Doberman? What would prevent that from being possible if we truly had a superposition of all quantum states?
If hyperspace is a potential state, then you only have to create a condition in which hyperspace is the most rational outcome. Instead of effecting the spacecraft, you would have to alter the fabric of the space that contains the spacecraft. The system would have to be field based and produce a state more consistent with hyperspace than with n-space. N-Space is normal space.
The class of warp drive containing hyperspace engines is called N-Stable or interdimensional warp drive propulsion systems. Remember that this is an introductory paper on the subject and goes into very few details. How you produce a field that would propel a spacecraft into hyperspace is more advanced than this paper allows for. That is part of the actual class.
