Not necessarily. If you fold space along a previously unknown 4th dimension, it would be trivial to travel many light years in a second.
Imagine a race of two dimensional creatures, living on a sheet of paper. They would view going from the upper-right corner, to the lower-left corner, as a very long journey.
But you, in three dimensions, could simply bend the paper, and the distance would become tiny... to you.
Scale that up to three dimensions and you see how it could work.
“.......If you fold space along a previously unknown 4th dimension,......”
It seems it would take enormous amounts of energy. I would think it would be pretty revealing, ionizing radiation on almost all wavelenghts. Additionaly I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near it!
It also works if you have an Infinite Improbability Drive, which lets the ship pass through every point in every universe simultaneously.
“Not necessarily. If you fold space along a previously unknown 4th dimension, it would be trivial to travel many light years in a second.”
Absolutely. To limit their understanding of physics based on our own primitive understanding of physics is far too near sighted. There are physics out there we still have no clue about yet. As arrogant as we are about our understanding, we are still infants in that game because we limit our scope and firewall possibilities.
I understand the concept. The issue is making the wormhole between the planes.
I know the words…I just have no idea how they could accomplish it. Lol.
Something else to support what you explain here. There are tons of sightings where they appear or disappear from or into what can be described as “portals”. Time space portals? Portals to other dimensions? Both?
