Subspace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is subspace? Subspace is a sub-domain of the multi-dimensional space-time, of which the four-dimensional space-time that we experience every day is also a part. Additional dimensions to our 4 dimensions are described in physics by string theory. There are a total of 10 dimensions in string theory, 4 of which correspond to our space-time. Because subspace is the next dimension that has become accessible to us, we assume it corresponds to the highest-order folded dimension. As subspace is a folded dimension, the laws of physics inside subspace behave differently. In ‘folded’ space, distances as we would define them in three-dimensional space are decreased by the order of folding. A useful analogy is to imagine that space is a sheet of paper. Then subspace would literally correspond to a folded version of that sheet of paper. Determining the order of folding is a tricky process, because subspace is not readily accessible to experiments. We cannot access subspace anyway we want; e.g. we cannot send a measuring device into subspace, and the type of information that can be sent through is limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sending information through subspace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because subspace is folded space, information can be exchanged much faster than in normal space, again by the order of folding. There are, however, a few important anomalies to take into consideration. Experiments suggest that the time it takes a signal to travel between two points is strongly dependent of its wavelength. Signals with shorter wavelengths take longer to cross subspace. We conclude (or rather, hypothesise) that the number of wavelengths that fit between two points determines the time of flight. At shorter wavelengths, more wavelenghts fit in the space between the two points, increasing the time the signal takes to traverse subspace. The speed at which a unit of wavelength travels through subspace far exceeds the speed of light, by at least 7 orders of magnitude. One might even expect a resonance when the wavelength of the signal matches the folding distance. However, such a resonance has not been found. This can be because it does not exist, or because the resonance frequency lies beyond our accessible range. By sending radiosignals through subspace, nearly instantaneous communication can be achieved over distances of several lightyears. This allows starships to maintain communication with the homeworld. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relation with normal space-time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Subspace, like normal space, is part of the same multi-dimensional space-time (in string theory, there are 10 dimensions). Because both are part of the same entity, it stands to ground that the two can interact. This is already demonstrated by the fact that we can send signals through subspace: the signal originates from normal space, enters subspace, travels through subspace, and exits subspace and re-enters normal space. Considering the speed at which information seems to travel through subspace, spatial distances need not (and probably do not) correspond. However, since the two are connected, it is interesting to see how subspace responds to extreme conditions in normal space, e.g. space-time singularities. To this end, an experiment was performed by sending signals through ‘regular’ space and past a neutron star over the same distance and comparing the two results. It is still unclear exactly what the mechanism is, but it is certain that the signals are affected by the presence of extreme gravitational objects. The frequency of the signal that passed the neutron star was shifted and showed an echo. More studies are ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reconciliation with special relativity [under construction]<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That no information can travel faster than the speed of light is one of the basic axioms of Einstein’s theory of Special Relativity (SR). The fact that subspace signals travel much faster than the speed of light thus seems to violate Special Relativity. The problem with information travelling at speeds greater than the speed of light in SR comes from causal paradoxes. If information could travel at such speeds, the effect could occur before its cause. [Example] Because no effect can overtake the signal being sent through subspace, no causal paradoxes can occur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
