Slipstream space: Difference between revisions

===Time dilation===

The relativistic side-effects of slipspace travel are normally eliminated by a process known as causal reconciliation,<ref name="cryp322">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 322''</ref> or particle reconciliation.<ref name="cryp135">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 135''</ref> This effect is briefly experienced once the ship returns to normal space, and manifests as a shimmering blue glow radiating out of the ship<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 312''</ref> and static electricity building up in the occupants' bodies.<ref name="cryp322"/> With longer jumps, the effects of reconciliation are clearly noticeable for several seconds upon returning to normal space.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''pages 100, 135, 266''</ref> However, the range for causal reconciliation is limited. If a ship performs a significantly long jump, time dilation effects may be experienced.<ref name="cryp135"/> With shorter jumps like those typically performed by human ships, the effects experienced by the occupants are negligible.
