-Because the slipstream is constantly shifting, and its laws of physics are different to our own, the magnetic coils of slipspace drives drift out of phase when entering and leaving a slipspace field, neccessitating constant maintenance. During the 2490's, technicians had to manually repair slipspace drives, exposing themselves to the slipsptream themselves and suffering injury, death or simply disappearing.<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', pg. 146</ref>

 In addition, Cherenkov radiation is emitted by fissile materials, including a ships reactor and nuclear armaments, upon entry and exit of the dimension, requiring all slipspace-capable craft to be fitted with lead shielding as radiation protection. Slipspace drives can only be equipped on large ships, as the stress that the constantly fluctuating slipstream exerts is considerable, and can tear a small craft, such as a dropship, completely asunder. <ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], pg. 289</ref>
-Direct exposure to the slipstream is always dangerous. People travelling on a slipspace-capable craft can experience a range of symptoms, from nausea, to a heart attack, to death. Even more uncommon, but still known to happen, is the total disappearance of a person while in the slipstream.<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', pg. 175</ref>  In some cases having a forerunner object may cause the ship to be in the 'middle' of slipspace.

 ==Communications==
 The [[Forerunner]]'s were somehow capable of advanced message carrier waves in Slipspace. This way, messages could travel at great speeds throughout their empire. Cortana was able to use this technology to declare codes [[Bandersnatch]] and [[Hydra (code)|Hydra]] during [[The First Battle of Earth]] and [[The Battle of Installation 05]].
-The closest technology the UNSC has been able to create like this is the [[Slipspace COM Launcher]]. And even then this technology is limited as there were only three in existance before 2552: one on Reach, one on Onyx and one on Earth. As of the conclusion of the Human-Covenant war, both the devices on Reach and Onyx have been destroyed, with the fate of the Earth device unknown.

-''Slipspace'' can be likened to the recent discovery of [http://arxiv.org/abs/0709.0985 matterwave transport without transit]. In this proccess 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, 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.
