Slipspace can be likened and very familiar to the recent discovery of [http://arxiv.org/abs/0709.0985 matterwave transport without transit]. In this process the 7 hidden spatial dimensions, 3 known spatial dimensions and the 2 time dimensions, appear to collapse into a singularity to an outside observer. But in reality and fact, this is only an illusion. In this type of field, relativity predominates, for instance the reality is dependent on the radial displacement from the source that generates the field. At small distances, reality is relatively intact. The further away from the field source, the less sense it makes to talk about reality; a cause can occur after effect, time has no linear flow. Nothing has a definite momentum or velocity. Objects can occur at multiple ''positions'' simultaneously. When a object enters a field, it produces a burst of neutrinos, antimatter and other types of radiation. | Slipspace can be likened and very familiar to the recent discovery of [http://arxiv.org/abs/0709.0985 matterwave transport without transit].

*The Slipstream Space concept is very popular in many Sci-Fi movies and shows, some examples of this include ''Star Wars'' and ''Battlestar Galactica''. | *The Slipstream Space concept is very popular in many Sci-Fi movies and shows, some examples of this include ''Star Wars'' and ''Battlestar Galactica''. | ||
*When a ship encounters a "Slipspace wake", they will be pushed to the speed the ship made. The UNSC Dusk took 2 weeks to get to Installation 05 via the Prophet of Regret's Assault Carrier's weakening "wake", but came back to Earth within hours by following the Forerunner Dreadnought's wake | |||
