  Hyperspace (science fiction) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While hyperspace is in some way anchored to the normal universe, its properties are not the same as normal space, so traveling in hyperspace is largely inequivalent to traveling in normal space.
The 'explanation' is that mass impedes movement through hyperspace sort of like a large object in front of a source of light, or (alternately) that the extreme curvature of space in the vicinity of a large mass makes movement through hyperspace extremely dangerous.
Hyperspace is usually portrayed as either being completely empty, with a gray or fl appearance, or as being full of shifting, luminous tendrils and clouds of...

 Hyperspace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Hyperspace may be thought of as the space between universes.
The geometry of space-time in special relativity with hyperspace added in SR uses a 'flat' 4-dimensional Minkowski space, usually referred to as space-time.
The biggest difference with adding in extra dimensional hyperspace is that the cone spreads out and shortens in height for the hyperspace frame almost becoming an instanton where far larger distances are encompassed in relation to our normal space-time frame.

 hyperspace
A hyperspace of S is a new space in which the points are compact subsets of S and the distance between points is found using the Hausdorf distance.
There are three which have their own symbols: H(S) denotes the hyperspace of all compact subsets of S; C(S) denotes the hyperspace of all connected compact subsets of S, and Fn(S) denotes the hyperspace of all subsets of S containing exactly n points.
Given a space M, a topological hyperspace of M is a new space obtained by considering a collection of subsets of M to be points and defining the distance between these new points in this new space in terms of the original distance on the original space.

 Hyperspace : A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps and the Tenth Dimension
In Hyperspace, Michio Kaku, author of the widely acclaimed Beyond Einstein and a leading theoretical physicist, offers the first book-length tour of the most exciting (and perhaps most bizarre) work in modern physics, work which includes research on the tenth dimension, time warps, fl holes, and multiple universes.
The theory of hyperspace (or higher dimensional space) - and its newest wrinkle, superstring theory - stand at the center of this revolution, with adherents in every major research laboratory in the world, including several Nobel laureates.
With Hyperspace, he has produced a book for general readers which conveys the vitality of the field and the excitement as scientists grapple with the meaning of space and time.

 Relic Forums - Hyperspace - More than just an extra dimension?
The "Hyperspace" map could be more of another map exactly the same as the original map, except that your ships move 5-10 times faster when you move them using "M" across the "Hyperspace" map.
In-hyperspace combat is a nice thought, but it unfortunately doesn't fit the HW2 universe's definition of it.
So, hyperspace is more like the act of making a tear in one part of the tangle, moving through the nothingness between them (therefore your journey would take an infinitely small amount of time?), and breaking into space-time on the other side.

 Deflating Hyperspace
Hyperspace seems to mean a lot of things, and then again not to mean much at all; its meaning shifts with the user, if not with the wind.
And in both cases, hyperspace is used as a "sign" for transcendence.

 Hyperspace Reality
Of course, the idea of hyperspace goes way back to Plato (427-347 B.C.), who suggested in his Cave allegory, that we are like prisoners of the 3-d world, identifying ourselves with our 3-d shadows, rather than the hyper-dimensional creatures we really are.
Hyperspace as a word meaning a space of more than three dimensions was coined in the 1890s by mathematicians, who were exploring the geometries defined by Bernhard Riemann (1826-1866) which were not only non-Euclidean (with any degree of warping--called "curvature"), but also were spaces of any number of dimensions.
But lower dimensional polytopes are substructures in higher dimensional polytopes, and the Coxeter graphs, which generate the mirrors for these reflections, control, by their hierarchical structure, the embedding of lower dimensional polytopes in the higher dimensional polytopes.

 Hyperspace Chess
When a piece is not moved to an adjacent square, the moved piece enters in hyperspace (i.e., it is removed from the board) and travels one square per turn until it reaches the destination (and then it is dropped).
There may be several pieces in hyperspace at the same time, and more than one can be dropped at the same time.
If two pieces are dropped at the same time in the same square (or a piece is dropped in a square occupied by a piece of the same color), they both explode and destroy all the immediate neighbours (including diagonals).

 Consciousness and Hyperspace: Jeffrey Mishlove Interviews Saul-Paul Sirag
A hyperspace realm -- certainly a realm in which the ordinary realm is only a partial view of reality, and the spiritual realm is a much greater realm, a much richer realm.
In other words, the hyperspace itself is consciousness acting on itself, and space-time is just kind of a studio space for it to act out various things in.
And so the body is just a shadow that is projected, so to speak, from hyperspace, and so there's then in a sense no problem, because our internal experience is not just connected to the hyperspace, it's an intimate piece of the hyperspace, in other words.

 Surfing Through Hyperspace
The term "hyperspace" is used popularly when referring to higher dimensions, and hyper- is the correct scientific prefix for higher-dimensional geometries.
The word "hyperspace" was coined by John W. Campbell in his short story "The Mightiest Machine" (1934), and the term has been used both by science-fiction writers and physicists ever since.
Some physicists also view hyperspace as a higher dimension in which our entire universe may be curved -- in the same way that a flat piece of paper can be flexed or rolled so that it curves in the third-dimension.

 Hyperspace model
When you engage the hyperdrive you emit an instantaneous perturbation in the hyperspace which enables other ships to scan for your ship in a wide range (IE: each ship at a distance from you not greater than the theoretical limit of about 1 light-year will be able to detect you).
Just suppose that the bandwidth of hyperspace is small and difficult to exploit, so that only advanced systems are able to establish a repeaters' net, if you want to establish instant FTL comms only between core systems.
I prefer anyway the navigable hyperspace model because its advantage is not only the Elite-like combat, but it offers also more chances for what can happen in the deep space both for "random events" and for the plot.
