Calabi-Yau Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Is there not the possibility of traveling from one point in three dimensional space to another within a period of time lesser than that which would be required in the three dimensional universe by entering, for example, a four dimensional universe, and ?bypassing? the curve or other indirect 'passage' from a to b as we could two ends of a curved two dimensional surface in 3D space?

ajb Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 If there are more than 4-dimensions it is conceivable that something like that is possible. Worm-holes for example can give rise to situations like this. (these don't require extra dimensions). Such situations could lead to time-machines as we have apparent faster than light travel. You should do a search for worm-holes and warp drives in the arXiv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calabi-Yau Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Wormholes would involve the folding andjoining of areas of our own universe? arXiv seems to be a good source, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
