like question. please explain

As in Subspace frequencies for hailing?

tomparis · **Tue Jun 10, 2003 4:09 am**

If thats what you mean, its kind of like radio waves, only its in space and it can go farther.

i mean
what is the SUBSPACE ?

Subspace is FTL (faster than light) communication. Subspace also allows ships to travel at warp, utilizing this 'sub' layer of space.

most prob a stupid question, but what does subspace look like?

Space is a colorless, gasless portion of the universe. It is basically the black stuff out in the sky at night.

Like... subsea... water but no plants or animal life...

Dude, I'm talking Sea Quest 2150, featuring subsea, the spatial anomoly that affects the water and a gateway to fluidic space.

Dude, you contradict yourself. Of course its a vacuum, and there just happen to be all of those things in it. Space, in itself, is a void, and all of those things get trapped in it. Since there is no place for them to go, the particles, the nebulae, planets, stars, etc. etc. just sit there, until an outside force causes them to move!

Los · **Thu Jun 12, 2003 10:06 pm**

You've contradicted yourself. A vacuum would have NOTHING in it.

vac�u�um ( P ) Pronunciation Key (vky-m, -ym, -ym)
n. pl. vac�u�ums or vac�u�a (-y-)

Absence of matter.
A space empty of matter.
A space relatively empty of matter.
A space in which the pressure is significantly lower than atmospheric pressure.
A state of emptiness; a void.
A state of being sealed off from external or environmental influences; isolation.
pl. vac�uums A vacuum cleaner.

So then, if space is a vacuum as you so aptly put it, it would be missing matter from it, meaning all of it.

We're thinking on two different scales. Your thinking the universe as space, but contains everything.

I'm thinking space, a thing, seperate from all of the other things.

Los · **Thu Jun 12, 2003 11:05 pm**

Therein lies the confusion.

Lt.BirdGod · **Thu Jun 12, 2003 11:21 pm**

Something so simple can set apart something so vast.

We really should talk more on -physics. Like, quantam physics (that's my favorite) A lot of ifs, buts, and maybes.

Los · **Thu Jun 12, 2003 11:38 pm**

I like physics... but I'm focusing on math right now and if I get more equations thrown at me at this point, I'm bound to just have a break down.

But I totally agree with you. Physics, when I took it in 2001, as far as it relating to astronomy, was absolutely badass.

Lt.BirdGod · **Fri Jun 13, 2003 11:17 am**

Yeah, its especially fun, to talk about Physics, and see people walk by and look like your speaking in a foreign language.

Ok BACK ON THE SUBSPACE QUESTION

Think of space as a body of water, On top of the Water (In regular space) you can talk and the sound travels through the medium that is air. Air is actually a slow medium because it is not as dense as say the water itself. Now if you were under the water in the Sub-Water (Sub-Space) you could talk and the sound waves would travel much faster than on the surface (regular Space). There is an expieriment where if someone has a tape recorder in the middle of a pool and on the farside of that same pool, then someone on the other side drops a weight aginst the concrete, the tape recorder in the pool picks the sound up befor the recorder at the other end.

BTW: In Star Trek Subs Space was not void, watch Voyagers One Small Step. Nor is it the Space Vaccum itself, so please check your resources.

1) I remember that episode. That was a giant subspace anomaly.

2) I don't need to check my sources. It's just, basic knowledge.

^I don't tent to take SFX shots 100% literally (especially from voyager). I use them as a base starting point. Never the less, you could be right.
