Slipstream space is a specific set of seven dimensions existing in a very small bundle. While these dimensions are present in normal space, they do not have an effect on the physics of normal space. By moving matter from the three "normal" space dimensions to Slipstream space, one effectively changes the laws of physics for that piece of matter. To the [[human]] eye, Slipspace appears pitch black, because there is nothing in the visible spectrum to see.<ref name="for15"/><ref group="note">''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'' depicts slipspace as resembling purplish nebulae; however, this can be considered an oversight, or an artistic liberty for the sake of presentation.</ref> | Slipstream space is a specific set of seven dimensions existing in a very small bundle.

The [[Covenant Empire]] also utilize the same seven dimensions of Slipstream space for travel, though the means they use to make the transition are most likely different than those of the humans because of their markedly "faster" journeys from point to point. | The [[Covenant Empire]] also utilize the same seven dimensions of Slipstream space for travel, though the means they use to make the transition are most likely different than those of the humans because of their markedly "faster" journeys from point to point. | ||
