Talk:Hyperspace/Legends

Ever wondered if hyperspace/hyperdrives unknowingly utilise the Force in some way? After all, the Force has no trouble traversing time or space. Maybe the designers tapped into this without even knowing it. Although it isn't why I thought of the idea, the Rakata used the Force in their spacecraft to propel them (and presumably as a component of 'lightspeed'). I'm not trying to suggest it is the case, rather just toying with an idea. Thoughts? --Fade 21:08, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe the Force aligns hypermatter so that it can be used for high energy power. Just a thought. -- Riffsyphon1024 21:30, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * My opinion is that it's bull-honkery. Frankly, the actual article needs some revision to get rid of the "other dimension" junk, and make it more in line with the current tachyonic perspective method, such as described at SWTC's hyperspace page that's linked to.--Spanky The Dolphin 10:43, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Saxton's views are realistic given terrestrial physics, but IU references have been made to hyperspace being an alternate dimension. That seems to hold more credence than Saxtononian analysis. All views should be included. --SparqMan 13:50, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * I like that theory very much. I've always been curious as to the way that the Rakata utilized the force in their technology.  And didn't the Duros reverse engineer hyperspace technology from the Rakata beofer the Corellians were "given" the technology by the Whills?

 * The force is a part of all LIFE... Somehow it doesn't seem likely that it uses the force. and besides, "The republic has been in existance since the discovery of hyperspace, nearly 20,000 years ago" (KOTOR1)... 24,000 to make it current... Isn't that before the Jedi? Jacen Solo 12:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Hyperspace Effect
How did the guys at ILM do the hyperspace effect when making the original films? What method did they use? -- AdmThrawn --

That box is pretty funny. I mean, all it does is clearly disambiguate the phenomenon from a website, but the wording makes me laugh. &mdash;Darth Culator  (talk)  22:18, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Can't, not can
According to Wikipedia link Hyperdrive, A ship in hyper space CAN NOT interact with the outside universe. I have corrected this mistake in the artical here. Jacen Solo 11:24, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You apparently didn't bother with actually reading the article you linked to. In any case, you're wrong. "Without precise calculations we'd fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?" -Vermilion 13:41, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * A ship in WARP can interact with normal space, IE comunicate, plot courses, fight, etc... A ship in HYPERSPACE, can not. The only communication seen via hyper spaced ships in the EU is when Luke and Mara communicated with the force. Jacen Solo
 * If there was no interaction, it wouldn't be a problem to fly through a star or planet. There is also an incident mentioned in the ROTS:ICS where a ship effectively destroyed a planet by accidently ramming it in hyperspace. -Vermilion 18:33, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm assuming it was a pretty large capital ship, since a small ship would have been pulled out by the planet's gravity well before it was anywhere near the atmosphere. -- SFH 21:37, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * A failure in the failsafe? Presumably there's a reason hyperdrives have failsafes to take them out of hyperspace when a mass shadow is sensed. *shrug* Yrfeloran 00:27, 15 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Thing is, it is impossible to interact with a planet. The mass shadow (gravity) of the planet exists in hyperspace, the planet doesn't. "A failure in the failsafe? Presumably there's a reason hyperdrives have failsafes to take them out of hyperspace when a mass shadow is sensed. *shrug* " I think it's got soemthing to do with overloading the engine. If you read the Corrilean (sp?) trilogy, you'll notice that they had to install extra equiptment (rather then disable failsafes) inorder to get through the indiction field Jacen Solo 15:07, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

if the ship is traveling faster than light then it should be able to escape any field of gravity possibly even a black hole. I don't know if this article is true it should be improved. I don't know if that thing about using hyperspace to destroy enemy fleets is true because i haven't heard of it being done. The likely outcome would be that both ships would be destroyed so it was probably a good suicide tactic.--Dumac 04:19, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily. The reason black holes aren't visible is because the gravity is so strong that the escape velocity at the center of the hole is faster than the speed of light. Try not to think of it as moving at the speed of light, but rather as moving from Point A to Point B without crossing the space between. According to Stephen Hawking, the speed of light is the greatest speed possible, so the only way of getting across a galaxy faster than lightspeed (it would take 120,000 years to cross from one end of the galaxy to the other at lightspeed) would be to take advantage of a wrinkle in the fabric of time. Consider this, take a rug and put it up with a little hump in it. This is our "fabric of time". Now, we've got two ways of getting to the other side of the rug: (a) We can go over the hump, or (b)we can punch a hole in both sides of the hump and go through. To do this, according to Stephen Hawking, we would have to accelerate to lightspeed, and then the fabric of time would bend around us, and anyone not in hyperspace would continue go over the hump, but we're going right through it, so to speak. So we are accelerating to lightspeed, but it is not our means of getting to where we want to go. The means of keeping time from passing accordingly seem to be pure fiction, however. All four dimensions mentioned are advancing, and we would age rapidly and die, however, our ship would make it to its destination. 120,000 years later to those outside of hyperspace, we would emerge in our destination, if our ship was built well enough, but the trip would seem instantaneous to us.--Atlas503 06:03, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Hyperspace combat?
In the Babylon5 universe, ships can fight in Hyperspace. How about in the Star Wars version? Will 02:40, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Not Another Dimension
Hyperspace is not another dimension! Saxton flat-out says in the AOTC:ICS that Hyperspace is Realspace viewed from a FTL perspective. I would change the article, but I don't really know how to do it without sounding stupid.Commodore Axilon 00:43, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
