Bluespace Energy – Energy enacted onto a system that manipulates the fabric of spacetime, as opposed to other forms of energy that interacts with particles and concrete masses (Kinetic Energy, Electrical Energy, Thermal Energy, etc. )

Long Description:

Laws of Bluespace Energy

1. The sum of all energy enacting on an object converges into Bluespace Energy as the object approaches the speed of light, if and only if the object exhibits a state of superposition.

2. Bluespace Energy allows the distance within a spacetime system to contract, in proportion to the amount of Bluespace Energy within the system.

3. A contraction of distance is matched equally and oppositely by the expansion of a dimple in spacetime.

a. The dimple formed is a collapsed two dimensional tunnel.

History

Bluespace energy is believed to account for the 7% of Dark Energy within the universe. It was discovered by Doctor Samantha Tigard and her team in 2413, while studying the Quantum Mechanical effects of super-imposed particles, and applying time dilations to their equations derived from theories of length contraction. The initial goal was to measure the probability of a resonance cascade – a theoretical concept to occur if an object larger than a particle was forced into a state of super-position while traveling close to the speed of light. What they discovered was that the system would collapse into itself, creating a temporary ‘bubble’ before the bubble depleted its energy source and the system returned to normal.

The rim of the bubble resonated microscopic wavelengths. When amplified by scientific equipment to become observable, they were observed within the blue spectrum of visible light – coining the name Bluespace. The energy signature was persistent for repeated tests of the experiment, leading Tigard and her team to conclude that they had discovered a new state of energy. Theories and formulas speculating about Bluespace energy had been published prior to Tigard’s research, from both Skrellian and Human societies, but it had never before been observed and confirmed.

Fundamental Basics

If an object is traveling close to the speed of light and manages to remain intact, the combined forces of energy enacting on the particle will be transferred to Bluespace energy. The Bluespace energy will bend the spacetime around the mass much in the same way as gravity, creating a collapse and projecting a tunnel around the object. This tunnel is essentially a collapse of space, creating a two-dimensional hole.

The distance from Point A to Point B of the traveling body converge and is collapsed to one point, while the tunnel formed pushes out from the point of convergence. The object within the tunnel is then in a state similar to super position, while it is inside the tunnel. However, this temporary collapse cannot be maintained without a continuous supply of energy, for once the Bluespace energy is depleted, the tunnel shrinks and the distance is restored.

To maintain the 2-dimensional tunnel, Phoron has proven to be a successful source of energy, as it is currently the only material capable of providing the massive demand to keep a tunnel open. It is also the only way to supply just the right amount of power to accurately pinpoint the entry and exit of a bluespace tunnel.

Tunnels and Pocket Dimension

A well supported theory suggests that alternate realities exist on the opposite side of the walls of the tunnels. Fluxuations have been spotted for very brief intervals, barely indiscernible in the time it takes to travel the gates. However, when slowed down, strong spikes of energy can be recorded from the other side.

A curious phenomenon of the tunnels is their natural ‘bubble’ formation when masses enter the gate. This protective barrier surrounds the object passing through, then disappears as it leaves the tunnels. However, despite its natural formation, precautions are taken to ensure this bubble does not expire while vessels and people travel through – as is a possible scenario. A low emission of bluespace energy around the craft will ensure the bubble will remain intact.

Technologies

Gateways are well known to be the most reliable source of keeping a bluespace tunnel open, capable of supplying the raw energy necessary from phoron-based engines. They also ensure the entryways of the gateway remain in place, and minimize fluctuations of the tunnel’s rim, keeping it from collapsing.

Teleporters work in the same principle as gateways, but instead of having a secured rim, they rely on the natural rim created by the tunnel. This can lead to complications – individuals walking through a teleporter may have their bubble collapse, or they may be ejected out from a different location. Relay devices help anchor the exitpoints, greatly reducing the chance of accidents.

Waaait, contraction and expansion of space... Bluespace drives are alcubierre drives? I thought they just teleported you.

Also, bluespace teleportation (at least in-game) involves projectile motion. Incorporate that or not, doesn't really matter, but if you're submitting this I'd imagine you'd like to know.

Most of this is flying over my head, and I will have to direct [mention]Killerhurtz[/mention] here to look at it.

However, the basic idea of Bluespace is that it is a dimension tied to ours. Bluespace is a dimension that our portals bring you into. Every mile in bluespace is ostensibly a lightyear in realspace. When you go into bluespace you calculate where you are going in relative to realspace, where you end up in bluespace, how far you travel in bluespace, how this corresponds to your travel in realspace, then where you should end in realspace up when you exit bluespace. It's like the Nether in minecraft, but if the Nether was moving relative to realspace in its own cosmic expansion.

Unfortunately, for several reasons, this explanation of Bluespace does not fit either current or future planned lore, and must be declined.

However, your interest in properly defining Bluespace has been noted and I will be sure to use this as a weapon against Boots to do it forward a proposal more in line with our lore to fill the niche you've pointed out needs filling.

Thank you for your application, though.

Happy trails!

Closing.
