We all know subspace. But could it exist in real life?

No, not at all.
Possible, there is so much we don't yet know.
Of course, FreeSpace is TRUTH!

Does subspace exist?
Personally, I take the second option. But I'd like to know your opinions.

P.S. Has there been a poll like this already?

Re: Does subspace exist?
Second one. There already are such things called wormholes, that are similar to subspace. Who knows- this might be an indication that subspace exists.

Re: Does subspace exist?
No, at least not in the the form presented in Freespace.

 
Re: Does subspace exist?
I think nay.

Wormholes are only deemed plausible by Einsteins model of gravity it doesn't mean they exist.

The String Theory speaks of additional dimensions but those above the 4 that we can sense allow travel through time and not space.

I think our chances for space voyage would be using conventional drives or quantum teleportation(both are handwaves but more plausible then anything in Freespace)

Who knows?
with current technology it's unprovable
maybe it's kicking around at the center of black holes - after all within those the laws of physics deteriorate so why not?

Re: Does subspace exist?
Our current knowledge about space is as much as a blind person can see. Who's to say that there are no Shivans and Vasudans right now? Or subspace? Or whatever else you might think of that is in FS.

 
Re: Does subspace exist?
ShadowGorrath speaks the truth. We humans are so proud of how much we know... but the more we learn the more it is shown how much we do not understand.

I'm willing to believe that alternate dimensions, subspace, wormholes, or ET life exist... but I'm not going to believe either way until we have something better than mere theory to base it on.

Re: Does subspace exist?
It could, but it doesn't mean it does.
There's no way to find out either way...not as of this second, at least.

Re: Does subspace exist?
If subspace exists, i'd be thinking the way subspace is described in stargate and star trek. Subspace travel in fs is nothing but wormholes.

It's not impossible. And given the possibilities of everthing else in Freespace, that means it's very promising. :p

Re: Does subspace exist?
Subspace? Hell, there are weirder things. Like a little theroy I thought up (which is also used in my book-in-progress, tentatively titled Storm Burner) I called 'Warp space'. By moving into another dimension, one can circumnavigate the (in)famous Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal and move from place to place instantly (In my book, however, ships travel at the speed of plot).
Besides,  :v: might get a little attention from this. Maybe we could learn a little something, before things go wrong and we end up as :headz:

Re: Does subspace exist?
I hope you're not trying to promote your theory past the rank of 'sheer technobabble', since the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is not exactly your biggest obstacle when it comes to FTL travel.

In other words: lolwut.

I certainly hope something like it exists, because I'm damn sure we're not going to get anywhere worthwhile in space contending with relativistic effects. :p

It's either there's subspace, or we have sleeper ships that take thousands of years to get to planets which have fossil fuels, only to get hijacked by facehuggers.
