Hyperphase


Hyperphase

(hyperdimensional phase transition)
From the perspective of a traveller, it is the rest of the universe that becomes undetectable. The spacecraft is colloquially described as moving through “hyperspace”, though this term does not describe an actual spacetime reference point. The hyperdimensional field has a fifth-dimensional degree of freedom but the craft itself is located only within its own artificial bubble universe.
Transition to and from hyperphase is accompanied by a distinctive glow of Cherenkov radiation (within the indigo to ultraviolet spectrum). This is caused by virtual gluons emitted by the propulsion field moving faster than the time-dilated photons from the craft itself. Whilst the craft is “in hyperspace” this glow continues from the perspective of the traveller as the radiation is trapped at the boundary of the hyperdimensional field.
