See the part about traversable wormholes specifically--almost entirely like FS subspace. There is, however, the small problem of temporal shift... but as long as the nodes don't move much relative to each other and aren't in widely different gravitational fields, the temporal effects will be minimal. All we have to do is find a way to produce matter with negative energy (a tall order, that).
Didn't see that post.
Can I just point out...
The Beginning of Time the title <<<< is such a bad way to name things.
I didn't need to read much to tell you UTF completely denies the possibility of that kind of travel, unless the influenced particle, or the particle which is stimulating the 'jump' was bosian in nature...
I do wanna draw your attention to this though...
In the biography.
Thorne, Kip S. and Morris, Michael S.. Wormholes in spacetime and their use for interstellar travel: A tool for teaching general relativity. Am. J. Phys. 56(6), May 1988.
Incredibly out of date now, mainly (Again) due to recent advances in UTF (And by recent, I mean pretty much this year
)
Macvey, John W.. Time Travel, A Guide to Journeys in the Fourth Dimension. Scarborough House/Publishers, 1990.
outta date, mainly because it was classed as unpopular science, dismissed by the top dogs and stomped on...
Pity though.....I love Time Travel when it's looked at as it should be, 4th dimensionally.
According to that book though, you can walk into the past the same way you would walk through a door, it wasn't exactly well founded science... Good read though, I do recommend it if you like sci-fi, it's not *that* full of physics/math, more philosophy.
Hawking, Stephen. A Brief History of Time, From the Big Bang to Black Holes. Bantam, 1988
dude, this was in the news, probably one of the best books about time ever, seriously a read I would put for any astronomer/physics nut
The rest of the novels are actually okay, they haven't been affected too much by UTF, considering UTF itself didn't deal with time.
I'm adding that Physical obsticals book to my fairly long list of lit i need to read...it looks interesting... don't know who Deser S is though...
If you wish to know anything about possible subspace (which would have to be classed as a dimension or subdimension for it to be able to interact with reality.... that's doubtful.... the main way 'subspace' science works, is slipping into a form of compressed space, OR and the currently more popular theory, a continuum where FTL is actually possible without the constraints of time acting upon it...) theories, you'd HAVE to read through most of the literature on Quantum Physics, and you'd HAVE to read a lot of the post'98 Unified Field Theory...
Actually more I think about it, they're almost definately talking about Bosian... except the terms are all wrong....same....err....ish....science though.
You need to read some UTF, you'll really enjoy it, err I think
The problem with saying 'subspace can directly influence real space' you throw ALL The rules of physics out the window (eg; relativity, subspace only allows you to travel faster then the speed of light /PROVIDING You can get there/ because it CANNOT influence the real universe which it resides under).
