A mathematical space having more than three dimensions. It is a mathematical construct and is not intended to represent the structure of the common physical space in which matter exists.
Multidimensional space beyond the three dimensions that we can easily represent.
A dimension accessible from Earth whose physical laws differ from Earth's in the following ways. First, it is possible to surpass the speed of light within hyperspace. Second, hyperspace is "warped" in comparison to Earth's dimension so that the distance between two points in hyperspace might be immensely shorter than the distance between the equivalent points in Earth's dimension. Interstellar travel is impractical for any sentient race that has not discovered the means of traveling through hyperspace in order to reach a destination in their own dimension. Hyperspace is also known as sub-space (which is sometimes confused with the Negative Zone) and warp-space. It is accessible through naturally occurring or artificially created nexuses in space called space warps.
An area of space in another dimension. When teleporting the telepath disappears from the departure point, spends a few moments in Hyperspace, and then reappears at the destination point. It is possible for a telepath to be stranded in Hyperspace, sometimes it happens if they are breaking-out and teleport before they have learnt how to control it. This is very dangerous as any object or being in that spends prolonged period unprotected in Hyperspace, will break apart. An AE Suit will protect the wearer, allowing them to spend long periods in Hyperspace. It is believed that telepathy is routed through Hyperspace. Hyperspace does not obey the same physical laws as normal space, in particular time is changed so that two things from different times may be close together in Hyperspace.
noun - Space above the third dimension. Tetraspace is the fourth dimension.
An alternate dimension that makes travel between different star systems possible. When travelling in hyperspace the travel times are days and weeks instead of years, decades and centuries. Hyperspace can be entered through jumpgates and jump points, and when travelling there, the ship must not stray from the beacons. If this happens, the ship will get lost and is almost impossible to rescue. Back to the top
The space of hypertext or hypermedia documents.
1) The universe as viewed by an object traveling at supra-light velocities. 2) Method of faster-than-light travel, uses hyperdrives. 3) Online portion of Star Wars fan club. [ edit
The vernacular for the Tachyon Universe in which translight speed is possible.
In science fiction, hyperspace is any region of space co-existing with our own universe (in some cases displaced in an extra spatial dimension) which may be entered using some sort of energy field or space-altering device. While hyperspace is in some way anchored to the normal universe, its properties are not the same as normal space, so traveling in hyperspace is largely inequivalent to traveling in normal space.
Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension (1994) is a book by Michio Kaku, a theoretical physicist from the City College of New York. It focuses on Kaku's studies of higher dimensions referred to as hyperspace. The recurring theme of the book is that all four forces of the universe (the strong force, the weak force, electromagnetism and gravity) become more coherent and their description simpler in higher dimensions.
Hyperspace is a common way to traverse large areas of space in a relatively short period of time.
