Subspace exists because I exist. End of discussion.

[General Battuta]

Bit of a late Quote, but Meh.

Your right in saying that in Einsteins model of reality, wormholes are plausible. However, like Newtonian physics and many other theories before it, it has become incomplete, even obsolete.

With what we are learning now with quantum mechanics and particle physics, it is plausible and even highly possible that wormholes and subspace actually do exist in one form or another. What i mean is that, instead of Subspace being a form of travel, it could be a form of power that could be utilised. If so, then it would be at a power greater then anything we have ever seen.

In addition to quantum mechanics and particle physics, there is also systems theory that is being learned about (Systems theory is the study of the nature of complex systems in nature, society, and science) which could provide a brand new way to look upon the world we live in. It could also provide us a way to broaden our minds to actually start looking at how the gadgets and technology that is shown in movies and games such as Star Wars, Freespace, Mass Effect and many others.

Heh. Looks like i did it again. I've been known to express my ideas and learnings in forums before. In an appropriate way though. And rarely, Its a brain drain .

Relativity is not obsolete. It is simply incompatible with quantum mechanics. Attempts to unify the two occupy most of physics today.

Who wants to bet that the next major discovery about how the universe works will go off at a tangent to everything we think we know about how it works...

basically - that the next major discovery will prove everything we think we know completly wrong...

I think this will happen, and im a physics student

Subspace doesn't exist.


It's called Fry-space and is entered and exitied by Fry-Holes

It has to be remembered that at the end of the 19th century, scientist thought they iknew how the universe worked, and that there were a few loose ends to be tied up, such as the non-smooth behaviour of the photoelectric effect and the direction of flow of the ether. However, in 1912 a swiss patent clerk wrote 3 scientific papers, two of which answered these questions by turning physics up side-down. The same could happen again, even in a field we think that we understand.

the answers to those questions, by the way were:
1) The ether has no flow as it doesn't exist.
2) The lack of smoothness in the photoelectric effect is because light travels around as packets of energy.
