| Jan 4, 2022 at 16:44 | comment | added | HelloGoodbye | This might be completely incorrect, but "hyperspace" may have been derived from "hyperbolic space," which is a form of hyperbolic geometry. This means that it has a negative (sectional) curvature, and looking at artistic impressions of wormholes, it also seems like those have negative curvatures. (A negative curvature means that the circumference of a small circle with radius r will be greater than 2πr, or that triangles are hyperbolic.) | |
| Jan 4, 2022 at 15:03 | comment | added | lessthanideal | Question doesn't seem lazy to me. "In Star Wars" implies either, "as opposed to in general", or, "I have literally no concept about other SF hyperspace at all so I believe this to be something specific to SW". OTOH "How is hyperspace different in SW?" implies, "I think hyperspace is generally the same everywhere in SF but SW it seems different; how?" which doesn't seem to be the intention. | |
| Jan 3, 2022 at 22:15 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | @jaxad0127 If you think the Question was meant to be "How is is hyperspace different in Star Wars?" that's up to you. If the Question is as written, "What is hyperspace in Star Wars?" then don['t you see how lazy it looks? | |
| Jan 3, 2022 at 21:47 | comment | added | jaxad0127 | @RobbieGoodwin For a more extreme example, look at Warhammer 40k; that's a very different type of hyperspace than SW or SG. Since we're talking fiction here, what hyperspace means can very greatly. So referencing SW in the question is appropriate, as the questioner wants information relevant to that franchise. | |
| Jan 3, 2022 at 21:41 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | @jaxad0127 Jolly good and how was that not covered in my query? Of course Stargate and Star Wars have different ideas and that's about their technology and logistics, not at all their concepts of hyperspace. In fact, it's questionable whether Stargate recognises the concept of hyperspace. | |
| Jan 3, 2022 at 21:37 | comment | added | jaxad0127 | @RobbieGoodwin different franchises often have different forms of hyperspace. Hyperspace in SW is influenced by matter in realspace, which is why it requires hyperspace lanes for safe travel. Hyperspace in the Stargate franchise, for example, doesn't appear to have the same limitation. | |
| Jan 3, 2022 at 21:28 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | How does Star Wars matter, here? Though the Question might have been inspired by Star Wars, you seem to be Asking simply what hyperspace is. What did I miss? | |
