HyperSpace Jump Drive
 


Hyperspace "Jump Engines" allow a vessel to open a passage into Hyperspace, which is used as a short cut between worlds, allowing ships to travel great distances without having to break the speed of light.

Theory states that "Hyperspace" is an alternate dimension in which height, width, and depth are distorted to the point that distances has little to no meaning.  Theory states that after the Big Bang (the event that created the universe), all stellar mater was thrown out from the hydrogen inrush when a micro particle a millionth of the size of the atom, exploded and created all mater in the universe.

All the stellar mater that was created by the Big Bang was thrown out by the explosion, the titanic mass of the Big Bang unable to hold in the compressed stellar mater that was released with the Hydrogen inrush  Stellar matter moved (and still moves), out from the center of the Big Bang, the resulting empty space equaling Hyperspace.  Confused yet?  Well let me try and explain:

    

The universe is like a giant ball.  Everything we know of the universe, or REAL-SPACE is on the outside of the ball, i.e. the matter thrown out by the Big Bang at the center of the universe.  There are many dimensions to space, only four of which we know of (height, width, depth, and space/time).  Hyperspace is another dimension, probably the left over space from the big bang, where time and space do not exist as we know it (if at all).

 

As you can see in the illustration, a ship wants to travel from point "A" to point "B."  To shorten the distance that needs to be traveled, it enters Hyperspace and arrives at the relative point equal to "A" in Hyperspace.  Now it will travel to point "B's" relative position in Hyperspace.

 

As you can see, the ship has moved.  It has moved the same distance as it would have in Real Space, but in Hyperspace the distance traveled is mapped into a smaller area.  When the ship comes out of Hyperspace it will be at it's destination, but only at a fraction of the time it would have taken to travel the same relative distance in Real-Space.  This follows Einstein's theory of relativity.
 

The deeper you go into Hyperspace, the relative distance that needs to be traversed to reach your destination becomes smaller, thus getting you to where you would like to be faster.  There is a problem however, and that is the Big Bang.  The mass and gravity of the Big Bang still exist and objects in real space also cast a gravity echo in Hyperspace, which can be significantly amplified given that the area a star's gravity will effect with be significantly larger in the smaller dimensional plane of Hyperspace  Thus, while in Hyperspace, a ship must maintain constant thrust, or it will be lost in the massive gravity spikes and eddies.  Traveling too deep into Hyperspace COULD result in a vessel not being able to get back out of Hyperspace, trapping a ship there forever.
