	Stasis (fiction) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stasis (IPA: /ˈsteɪsɪs/) is a science-fiction concept akin to suspended animation.
		A stasis field is a region where a stasis process is in effect.
		In Vernor Vinge's The Peace War and Marooned in Realtime, the "bobble" is a spherical stasis field which is used as a weapon, shield, storage space, and time machine.

	Stasis field (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A stasis field is an imaginary phenomenon that is often used in science fiction that slows the passage of time inside it, or stops it entirely.
		Vernor Vinge 's Peace Authority series in which stasis fields (called bobbles) are always perfectly spherical and exist for a fixed duration set at their time of creation - bobbles cannot be "burst" prematurely.
		Venous Stasis Ulcers Venous stasis wounds occur when the veins of the leg become dilated and the valves cannot function properly.

	Stasis Field Theory I
		Stasis theory is a natural consequence of the concept that magnetic fields form in response to the relative movement of electric fields through one another.
		The contribution to the stasis vector of the moon at the centre of the earth is therefore:
		The result predicted by the stasis theory is 176.6 m/s in an easterly direction measured in a frame of reference moving with the centre of the earth and fixed in direction relative to the stars.

	Stasis Theory
		Stasis theory is similar to Mach's principle, but different from it in that stasis theory is a natural part of the theory of magnetism.
		Stasis theory makes the bold assumption that the magnetic field is generated by the relative movement of the electric fields of the charges.
		Stasis, then, is the background zero velocity of the presence of the universe at a point in space.

		It is also impossible to move a stasis field without magic aid specifically enabled to move stasis fields.
		Those inside the stasis field are not aware of anything until such time as the field goes down.
		This spell permits the caster to summon up a wall of stasis; the interior of this stasis effect is an infinitesimal lamina in the interior of the wall.

		All living creatures within the stasis field, except the caster and any protected beings, must successfully save vs. spell or be placed in suspended animation whether they wish to be or not.
		Creatures in stasis that are mentally contacted by magic or psionics while within the field do not respond, and the being contacting them is placed in stasis temporarily (awakening after 2d4 rounds) each time such contact is attempted.
		The stasis can be lifted from individual creatures without harm and without releasing other creatures under the same stasis by casting temporal reinstatement (the reverse of the 9th-level wizard spell temporal stasis) or the reverse of this spell.

		Stasis (pronounced STAY-sis) is a science-fiction concept akin to suspended animation.
		In the comedy Red Dwarf, Dave Lister is sent to stasis for eighteen months for bringing on an unquarantined cat on board Red Dwarf.
		A few stories envision a type of stasis that allows mental processes to continue, so that a person in stasis is aware of being helplessly immobile - essentially a living statue.

	Stasis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In medicine, stasis means the state, in which the normal flow of a body liquid stops, for example the flow of blood through vessels or of intestinal contents through the digestive tract.
		In science fiction, the concept of stasis implies an artificial pause that stops all physical and chemical processes, including those of life; they resume as if uninterrupted as soon as the stasis is ended.
		In music, it is a technique or form used in minimalist music, and also any other style that may use slow musical development.

	Stasis Field Generator
		The generator has a built-in timer that will automatically drop the field at a preset external time (anywhere from 5 minutes to billions of years) — the internal passage of time is measured in fractions of a second.
		Placing a working stasis field generator within another stasis field generator will cause both to shut down, though this can take anywhere from an instant to several hours.
		Values are per cubic meter of the internal volume of the field and include the generator and the required mesh frame.

	Stasis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Whereas suspendedanimation usually refers to a greatly reduced state of life processes, stasis implies a complete cessation of these processes,which can be easily restarted or which restart spontaneously when stasis is removed.Depending on the work, stasis has otherproperties useful to science fiction story lines.
		The noted science fiction author Larry Niven used the concept of stasisfields and stasis boxes to a great extent in a direct or indirect fashion all through his many novels and short stories set inthe Known Space series.
		A few stories envision a type of stasis that allows mental processes to continue, so that a person in stasis is aware of beinghelplessly immobile - essentially a living statue.

	SF Citations for OED
		I couldn't begin to understand the principles behind the stasis field; the gap between present-day physics and my master's degree in the same subject was as long as the time that separated Galileo and Einstein.
		The Gravity Engines, Stasis Field Generators and the Refrigerator Laser are all in the smaller sphere that sits in the middle of the deck.
		They had a device, a stasis field that forms invulnerable protection and freezes time within; we have never been able to understand the principle and copies do not work, but we have found them occasionally, and they can be deactivated.

	Arbiter
		Units trapped in a stasis field can neither move nor attack, and are completely immune to the effects of damage and special abilities.
		Stasis Fields can be used for a wide variety of uses, both offensive and defensive, but it is a relatively long lasting effect so be careful when selecting your targets.
		One of the best defensive uses of Stasis Field is to use it on High Templar or Dark Archons during their Energy recharge period (usually just after using a special ability).

	Chronos: Temporal Phasing
		In order to artificially phase an object out of the normal flow of time, it must be saturated by a phased antigraviton field, whose frequency and polarity determine the extent and direction of fifth-dimensional displacement, and whose saturation density determines the spherical radius of the effect from the antigraviton field generator.
		That would mean that while within the stasis field her wrist watch would record the passage of only one minute for every thirty minutes recorded by a wall clock across the room.
		Still would not be able to walk while in the stasis field; in fact, she might be crushed by the increased gravity even while lying on a bed.

		He was ready for my Stasis Field-choke of the Star Chamber with 2 scouts ferrying his cits on turn 4, but a Stasis Field on 5 held one back for the second Stasis Field on 6, and another swept vote.
		The vote was still 4 to 4 but I brought home Power Play and Peacekeeper, and a Stasis Field and Negation Field combo disrupted his fleet and his play of disruptor at the Star Chamber that turn, giving me victory in a decisive battle and the win on turn 8.

		Wouldnt whatever held in such a field be held in a fixed point in space, and the place where the field originated, say on a planet, would move away at many thousands of miles per hour.
		I would think that whatever was generating the stasis field would sort of drag it along with it through space.
		One form of stasis field would be a region in which time passes slowly compared to outside frames of reference; a kind of stationary time dilation (an uncomfortable form of stationary time dilation occurs in a very strong gravity field, like that around a fl hole).

	From here to there and back again : Hyperspace travel
		Once you have entered hyperspace, the stasis field collapses (within 1 second) and you can move about normally in your ship (but you cannot see or move beyond the bubble of real-space you are within and which was defined by the size of your stasis field).
		A stasis field is inherently unstable and only exists for a fraction of a second.
		The ultimate disasters are to have critical components fail during hyperspace entry exit (converter explosion, reactor explosion, stasis field malfunction) or to re-enter real-space in the path of a sun, planet, ship, or to cross the path of a fl hole throat in hyperspace.

		This hardy warship flexes light, and the gravity about it is not unlike how an archer draws a bow, creating a delicate concentrated field of stasis time that renders all other friendly Protoss units near to it invisible to the enemy.
		The cloaking field covers a wide radius and affects both flying and ground forces (but not structures), though due to the Arbiter's anchor-like role in space time, it can never be cloaked itself.
		Stasis Field costs 100 energy points per use and freezes units within a sizable radius about the targeted point.

		They are armed, but it is very slow and ineffective; instead, they are great for their other functions.
		Stasis is the perfect support spell for carriers.
		Again, this spell is very useful against air units, because ground units cannot cluster as much, and the stasis field does not have a wide range of effect.

		Some use it to halt their opponents, since anyone caught in a stasis field freezes until it subsides.
		The only spell that will damage someone inside a stasis field is disintegrate, which is a mind attack, and takes no time to do its work.
		At each level the stasis field doubles in size, so at level one, it is not much larger then the caster, but at level 5 it will fill a small stadium!

		I was the only inhabitant of the ship who had not been slumbering in liquid helium at 3 degrees K. The computer had released me from the Klienman Stasis Field three months earlier so I could prepare the reanimation equipment and direct the approach to the star Sucilitur and to its one habitable planet.
		The stasis field, though complex and expensive in construction costs and power requirements, was necessary for one person because the deep freeze was found to cause some disorientation and memory loss on waking.
		I didn't realize at the time that she was pregnant and that she had also become immune to hypnotics and remembered much of the special training I had given her, which she passed on to her son.

		When the stasis unit was activated by a radio signal or timing device, high-energy particles thrown off by the radioactive material would be unable to pass out through the container, now in stasis, and equivalent to a very hard, dense, impenetrable, nearly ideal boundary surface.
		One cause of the disagreement is the reported "selective action" of the stasis unit which permits ordinary light to pass through transparent bodies, but blocks the passage of certain other electromagnetic radiations.
		Other military uses for stasis devices include protection of missile sites, storage of food and munitions, impenetrizing of armor plate, portable "turtle-shields" for infantry, and quick-conversion units designed to turn any ordinary house or shed into a bombardment-proof strongpoint.
