Dyson sphere: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

In the book [[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], it is disclosed that at the center of [[Onyx]] is a [[Slipspace]] rift that shunts those that pass through it to a structured ''Dyson Sphere'', called a [[Shield World]]. It is separated from normal space-time by advanced Forerunner Slipspace technology. Although [[Dr. Halsey]] calls it the '''Micro''' Dyson Sphere, the Sphere is 150 million kilometers (or two astronomical units) in diameter. The Micro Dyson Sphere has a spectra and energy output slightly smaller than the dimensions of [[Sol]]. This was going to be the haven where the [[Forerunners]] were to seek refuge when [[Halo]] activated, but no one knows what went wrong with their alleged plan, as the expanse appeared to be completely deserted when UNSC forces arrived. In Halo 3, these circumstances were revealed to be the result of the betrayal of the Forerunner AI Mendicant Bias, whose defection to the Flood forced the Forerunners to abandon their plans to evacuate into the shield installations. The only way out is to shut down or destroy the sphere.

After their arrival in the Dyson Sphere, Dr. Halsey explains the structure. She calls it a Micro Dyson Sphere because it is in fact very small, or perceived to be small when looked at from normal space.

"Entirely true," Dr. Halsey said, "but we have not left Onyx."

"The Forerunners' grasp of Slipspace technology was far more advanced than ours or the Covenant's," Dr. Halsey explained. "I believe this sphere resides in the center of the planet, encapsulated and protected by a Slipspace bubble of compressed dimensionality." (Halo: Ghosts Of Onyx Pg. 381)

The Micro Dyson sphere is located in compressed ~~slipstream~~ space. In other terms, any object inside might appear to be a certain size, but inside the ~~slipstream~~ bubble it is much larger. They never left Onyx, they simply entered a Slipspace bubble.

The Micro Dyson sphere is located in a ''factually'' compressed Slipstream space. In other terms, any object inside might appear to be a certain size, but inside the Slipstream bubble it is much, much larger. They never left Onyx, they simply entered a Slipspace bubble.

"Dr. Halsey stared at them and pushed her glasses farther up the bridge of her nose. "I see. You do understand that while externally, this space may only be a few meters in diameter within the center of Onyx, internally, it's compressed dimensionality gives it a surface area"—she cocked her head, calculating— "many times the surface of the Earth."
