How Slipspace Works (Halo Lore)

I completely agree, whether it be slipspace or wormholes, it’s starting to logically seem this kind of tech is the only way to spread out into space without it taking generations to get there - or worse, the people you leave behind have aged twice as fast while you were away. Interstellar has a really interesting take on the effects of time dilation.

[@InveterateMendaciousness]

Something to note: Slipspace in halo is heavily based upon real theories of higher dimensional planes that take into account enigmatic physics like causality and spatial reconciliation (paradoxes); theoretical proposals like Heim/M theory, Einstien-Rosen bridges, string and hyperspace theory are to some degree prevalent in Halo's universe in terms of how those laws would dictate rules in practice. This is evident in how slipspace is portrayed in the lore, but with obvious alterations for the sake of interest.

[@hunter_thespy1233]

Tell that to the un open minded skeptics in the comments lol

[@InveterateMendaciousness]

saiah smith flattards

[@LeTtRrZ]

I too was going to say that most of these underlying mechanics are well studied in the field of theoretical physics, but we have no idea how to bend spacetime on a whim without sacrificing an entire galaxy’s worth of energy.

[@InveterateMendaciousness]

LeTtRrZ well yes, that’s why it’s fiction. It’s only loosely based on possibilities and theoretical physics, which Halo takes advantage of to make esoteric scenery and lore that at times sounds otherworldly or angelic, but at the same times manages to keep it in a believable grey area. That’s probably the biggest reason I enjoy reading the books since I can *with reason* see how most things are not just stated to sound wildly impossible for the sake of making technology in the universe seem powerful or wondrous. Whilst it is wondrous and powerful no doubt, and likely impossible, the effort involved in making the mechanics of halo feel closer to reality than it would otherwise be without good story telling and explanation. It’s the difference between series like Star Trek, Star Wars or Warhammer 40k (where words don’t correlate to actual meaning in practice or known physics is thrown out the window entirely simply to further establish a plot or to make context more interesting) is to say something like The Expanse (where it feels everything is paid attention to detail in almost every sense of the word to build a world that looks and sounds realistic and reasonable). I think halo has a near perfect balance of elements between these, if at times inconsistent.

Funny thing about the covenant is that they didn't know how to jump in atmosphere until Cortana figured it out. Unfortunately there was a covenant AI that recorded that. After the enemy AI was delt with, Cortana also figured out how to use their plasma cannons more efficiently and with more power then the covenant realized they could.

Stellaris has one other annoyance and it's with origins. If you choose scion, hegemon, federation, remnants, or any other origin that deals with your civilization previously or currently coming into contact with another space faring civilization, you will still get the pop up for discovering new habitable worlds. It's as if, despite my empire being in union with 2 other ones, it's a shock to researchers life exist outside Sol, Alpha Centauri, and Bernard. Or you know, when you were once a galaxy spanning empire but now live on a relic world and you still get this pop up. Perhaps remnants would work better if it's back story was that your people completely forgot about their interstellar empire, but it's not. Ugh

[@igkslife]

To be honest slip space is more realistic than people think, and could be more fact, than fiction, but that is just me. Also there is other things to take in account. Then you have star roads witch could be artificial slip space. Again my opinion, but possible.

[@hunter_thespy1233]

I agree with u! Their are many physicist who think their are other dimensions like slip space outside our known four! And for me and I suspect many others like u it’s not that hard to imagine that a dimension like that could very well exist and in 500 years given all the technological advancements that we’ve figured out how to travel through it.. but their are many skeptics in the comments who have a very closed mind and immediately rule it out as pseudoscience and impossible just because we don’t currently understand it.. so sad.. That’s why I keep an open mind!

[@igkslife]

@@hunter_thespy1233 well! I can't agree with you more!.... If you think about if we could figure out how to control gravity. Then it would be possible to master light based travel. To be honest light based travel is all we need to get to solar systems a couple of light years away. Also if I remember correctly, our solar system, and many others orbit the center of the Galaxy. So if you can create a straight line warm hole then you can try to prdect where that solar system will be, and aim your star ship to the spot where the solar system is going to be at it's closets spot to ours, and go. In away this would solve the mystery of why reach was one of the first colonize systems instead of alpha, and sentary.... Brain hurts trying to explain it.... Sorry.

[@igkslife]

Also have to remember the stars you see at night is what they looked like a year ago if it's a light year away star. If 10 light years away, then that's what it looked like 10 years ago, and where it was 10 years ago. Now the mastering of something like slip space. 1st proving more than 1 dimensions. 2nd proving that we can open into one. 3rd proving that we could use it to travel to other world's in our space. 4th if we do discover warm holes, or slip space, we will need a gravity field to protect us, and for the time dilation. ( There is a KZbin video on anti gravity with in away actual science describing the anti gravity effect...) 5 we need to prove that we can create anti gravity, and I believe one method would trying to repel the magnetic field for lift. Another way is trying to create lift with magnets. Same can be said about using magnets for artificial gravity, and use it to keep people on the floor... One way is to push fluids of a person one detraction ( being the floor) not only that, but design the electric magnets to push objects one direction. ( The magnets pushing fluids idea I have is from watching magnets push a cup of blood, and a mouse, but I can't test it to find out if it's true. If it is, then artificial gravity.) 6 radiation problem, how do you protect your self from radiation? Well can't use magnets for everything, but I can't think of anything else... So magnets... and a inch thick, or center meter thick are of water, both. If both then water behind the magnetic field, and something to keep it from messing with everything else.

[@marranin007]

Yeah, traveling faster than light would be impossible because you need to reduce the ships mass to 0, which may be possible but no, slipspace makes more sense because you bend space, idk how the hell you would do that but it makes more sense. And then again, the shield is probably 100 years away or something like that.

I love Halo's version of Slipspace Jumps. Very interesting and imaginative. 👍🏻

[@generalgrevious815]

Agreed and I like how all the factions are using the same technology with a different understanding of it. Humans brute force it and as such face significant repercussions: not very accurate jumps, slow travel times, micro jumping in system is very dangerous, ships or sometimes just one or two people on a ship never revert from slip space. Covenant very advanced tech for the jumps but since the technology was copied from found forerunner tech they dont fully understand there own abilities: they have very fast very accurate jumps, can micro jump in system, sometimes just making a short jump behind enemy defences, but dont fully understand everything there own systems can accomplish. A halo book establishes that the covenant didnt even know they could jump into or out of an atmosphere until cortana used a stolen covenant ship to show just how precise it could be. Forerunners where the pinnacle of the tech: understood the balance of reconciliation, could jump massive distances instantly, or massive objects like entire planets, or super small objects like people.

[@marranin007]

[@HuyLy94]

There's even theories and very early designs for faster than light travel using our current understanding of physics called alcubierre drives. Basically they use dark matter & energy to create a bubble of regular space and a portion of expanding spacetime behind the spacecraft and a portion of contracting spacetime ahead of it which would make it perpetually "fall forwards" in space. There would be no length contraction or time dilation because the spacecraft would still be in stable space, in fact relative to the bubble of space surrounding it the spacecraft doesn't move at all. Unfortunately we only have a very basic understanding of dark matter/energy and we don't know how to produce either let alone manipulate it this way so there's quite a bit of research to go.

[@elijahgardi7501]

Check out quantum non equilibrium for possibilities of FTL travel

[@Killzoneguy117]

Well the most likely scenario is the alcubierre drive which is essentially warp travel where you create a bubble of space time around your ship that contracts the distance in front of you and extends the distance behind you. So technically you're going under the speed of light, but the distance to travel is significantly less. Mass Effect has a similar idea with Mass Effect fields. The reason we can't travel past the speed of light is that the further you approach the speed of light, the greater your mass/inertia becomes. This is also why time dilation becomes a thing. For the same reason that time goes slower around black holes because of their enormous mass and the gravity they subsequently exert, traveling up to the speed of light will itself increase mass and gravity, leading to time dilation. However, travelling past the speed of light is impossible for another reason. To go faster, you have to accelerate. However, the amount of acceleration that is required to propel something up to a given mass is proportional to its mass. Therefore, if the mass becomes larger the faster you travel, your acceleration goes up. To the point that as you approach the speed of light, the acceleration required to propel you beyond the speed of light becomes infinite. You obviously cannot have infinite acceleration, so travelling past the speed of light is impossible. Mass Effect creates a bubble of mass distorting mass effect fields that decrease an object's mass and increase the speed of light within that bubble relative to light speed outside the bubble, thereby allowing the ship to accelerate with its regular thrusters to as fast as they can get, allowing for FTL travel. At least that's my, highly flawed understanding. I last did Physics in High School. Someone more qualified feel free to correct me.

[@Drkwll]

@@Killzoneguy117 you need infinite energy, not infinite acceleration.

Monody how do u know? What an ignorant comment! How do we know if their aren’t other dimensions outside our four? Many physicist believe their are more dimensions besides our four we currently know.. What if one of those can be used for FTL travel? In my opinion halo is taking an idea in theoretical physics and expanding on it and saying what if it could be used for FTL travel! Not making up bullshit impossible pseudoscience concepts! To quote installation00*the KZbind not the forerunner artifact* sci fi is just science that hasn’t been discovered yet! Sure FTL travel, fusion energy, cybernetics, artificial gravity fields, energy shields and weapons and so many other things aren’t immediately possible but they are all on their way in this is helped by sci fi pop culture influence!

[@freeminded7]

saiah smith you have no way of knowing that. We can’t make any of those things if the laws of physics say otherwise. You can’t throw “time” at every problem. This idea that we will endlessly progress comes from how fast we progressed in the last 200 years. We made very tiny adjustments over 10’000 years. It could easily be that way again.

This is a very well made video. The narration is on point, the depth and breadth of discussion about the history and applications of the technology are really good and the video is pretty good at syncing what is being discussed with specific examples of what's going on (like safe entry points vs Mombassa and the unrestricted slipspace rift vs the Long Night of Solace). However, one constructive criticism that I have is that your videos could be *greatly* enhanced by providing inline source notations, embedded onto the video, stating where the data point being discussed comes from. Like how it was Cortana who was jacked into the Ascendant Justice who found out how Covenant slipspace technology worked in that it allowed the ship to gently open a particular coordinate of slipspace rather than just tearing open a portal and hoping that you got it right like the humans did, which was from First Strike. Or how the concept of reconciliation was explored in depth mostly in Silentium and Warfleet. Again, great video. I just think this could help you take it to the next level of appreciation for the nerds like me who wonder where this comes from if you've seen some media we haven't.

Slip space seems like a function of what people think happens when 2 or more magnetic fields converged on a point and make a temporarily rip or hole . Tho what some whistleblowers claim is the use of red mercury rotating inside a donut + coils helps create another protective field for both traversing unusual portals but is also used as a form of unconventional propulsion. Think the donut and mercury creates a magnetic taroidal field. And that is what interacts with the rest of the engine system. Tho until recently I didnt think red mercury was real...

As it expands it appears to be accelerating past the speed of light and we are currently unable to explain why, our best hypothesis is Dark Energy, a type of energy we can neither perceive nor detect but is somehow influencing the universe at large.

Great video! I’m enjoying the halo technology lore videos! I would like to see one on artificial gravity on UNSC and covenant ships!

[@alexcooke2984]

I feel like the best way to describe you is the David Attenborough of Halo, keep it up!

[@BinnyBongBaron_AoE]

A video I absolutely shouldn't be interested in, but absolutely am and now I intend to watch it all xD

[@agentgamma771-08-B]

Your music's are mindblowing

[@Indoor_Carrot]

One question: how do ships navigate and "turn" while in slipspace? Surely they need to follow the current towards an exit point? Or is the ship thrown into it like a bullet with a pre-set destination / exit point?

[@R3tr0_mkv]

Preset destination point :)

[@CTRL-ALT-DEREK]

But what about radio communication? How do the waves between reach and earth travel so quickly

[@leeleebeebee]

This is new favourite video of 2020

[@Goob1690]

Should have mentioned a little about how the forerunners knew they were going to eventually fire the rings, because they could detect the pre-echoes of the rings firing in slip space. Probably due to the same cause as reconciliation. Could have also mentioned about how the precursors used a completely different technology to the forerunners (neural physics), and that it is somewhat incompatible with the forerunners slip space technology - they couldn’t move through slip space like they used to towards the end of the war, remarking that “its almost as if space itself is infected”. They only way they could escape encirclement a was by firing halo arrays, which could be tuned to destroy neural physical (precursor) structures.

[@ERMM1307]

Awesome video. Now I’m interested to know how communication in the Halo universe works! Hope you cover this in a future video!!!

[@SameToken]

Now there’s an interesting idea, noted - thank you!

[@kkhunt7]

Maybe harnessing quantum entanglement in some manner. This would allow instant communication across light years, whereas radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is extremely slow on the galactic scale.

[@ERMM1307]

@Reece X I haven't read the books. So it's nice when channels like this cover such topics and make it easily digestible for those of us may not have the time to or are new to the vast universe of Halo.

[@Anvarynn]

Also important to note ancient humanity were basically on par with forerunners and both absolutely paled in comparison to Precursor's Neural Physics

[@gxostghost]

i would love to do some kind of halo related topic about the covenants equipment to the banished, and how they look and feel different. or something related to the brutes, because the brutes equipment is so different then the covenant and humanity.

[@ad-spiritus]

I’ve see the folding paper demonstration several times, but I’ve never found it even slightly helpful. Obviously we count reach out with massive, divine hands and fold space in half, so what is that visual supposed to achieve? It causes it to make even less sense to me than without any analogy given 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, despite wormhole theory having still been clarified 0% for me, I still very much like this channel, the presentation style, and that Same Token voice. Lol. It’s also always interesting to learn more Halo lore. Keep up the good work. My only criticism is the clarity of that one demonstration in this particular video. Otherwise, great vids across the board. Very cool channel.

[@bottasheimfe5750]

slipspace sounds like a combination of several FTL theories, combining Wormhole Theory with Warp Theory with the Interdimnsional medium Concept (not a theory last i checked but something that is common in Sci-fi)

[@hsueh-weichen566]

I wish my professors can explain stuff like u!😭

[@majorsilly8966]

I like videos that talk about ftl human space travel and extrasolar colonization

[@BigBladeFan]

You deserve more subs this is high quality content. If you don't mind me asking would you do a collab with installation 00 I think you 2 in a video would be awesome.

[@BigBladeFan]

Well I just lost the heart for editing my comment lol that's kind of a stupid system by KZbin.

[@SameToken]

Huh that’s strange, heart is back! - will need to see what can be arranged! :D

[@RovingTroll]

To the paper analogy: it's almost like the fibers inside the paper are the slipspace routes

[@ryanad2000]

That actually sounds more believable than the inital worm hole theories... When you think about it, it would be quite convenient to make a neat fold in space, it's more likely that it would be messy due to the random nature of physics and the universe.

[@nikobelic4251]

I Have done extensive research on slipstream space.... this would have helped me a lot a Lol where were you all my life?

[@thesarkive7746]

nice explanation

[@shatterpoint23]

Just saw your regarding Forerunner structures by Bungie & 323i. And I loved the video. Just subscribed to your channel. This channel is really very underrated.

[@Cheka__]

Yeah, it worked out great in Event Horizon.

[@johnwang9914]

The concept of the topology of the Universe being convulated enough for a lot of transit points to exist would mean that where the points are, would not be due to safety such as displacement of atmosphere but simply be due to the rarity of such points which in themselves may be moving or temporary and more advanced technology would be matter of accessing more of these points not a matter of bring more covert. Indeed navigation of these points would be the key strategic advantage. If there us to be any limits to where these transit points are, it would be by gravitation wells as gravity is the only force we suspect of curving space.

[@ynntari2775]

This makes so much more sense than in Star Wars

[@demetriusfrye2451]

this is cool because recently scientist have found some possible ways to use similer technology to the stufff in halo

[@ThatEnthusiast]

Very good video, congrats!

[@joshuapurdy7065]

Music used?

[@michaelkane7999]

How to tell you are a nerd. You too thought about this and this vid now confirms or challenges what you thought. And thank you for making it.

[@Anvarynn]

Also have to mention the problem with accelerating anything with *mass* to the speed of light quickly approaches energy requirements of infinity.
