How could space be folded?

A geodesic fold occurs when a Verteron beam is fired at the atmosphere of a giant star at two different locations. This connects both points in space and creates a short lived passage. However, this was not usable because of deadly radiation that occurred during flight.

Can you fold spacetime?

“We know that space can be bent. Spacetime, however, is the combined concepts of space and time into a four-dimensional continuum. You may have even seen spacetime portrayed as a fabric, manipulated by energy. If spacetime can be bent, Beacham continued, it’s theoretically possible that time can be bent.

What is a dimension in space time?

In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model which fuses the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional manifold. Spacetime diagrams can be used to visualize relativistic effects, such as why different observers perceive differently where and when events occur.

How many dimensions are there in space?

The world as we know it has three dimensions of space—length, width and depth—and one dimension of time. But there’s the mind-bending possibility that many more dimensions exist out there. According to string theory, one of the leading physics model of the last half century, the universe operates with 10 dimensions.

Why can’t we fold space-time?

However we can’t fold space-time because negating either parity or time doesn’t necessarily give you a valid universe… or at least, it requires you to change the nature of the matter within it. In practice I can’t see how you would ever do it, even if it was possible in theory, which is dubious.

Should we add extra dimensions to space and time?

There’s hardly a problem that physicists haven’t tried to solve by adding extra dimensions to our everyday three of space and one of time: whether with scrunched up dimensions too small to see, or the idea that our 4D world exists on a “brane” floating in an inaccessible higher dimensional world. How to envisage such things?

How many dimensions are there in the universe?

But our Universe isn’t made up merely of three space dimensions, but of four spacetime dimensions. It’s easy to look at that and say, “oh, well, three of them are space and one of them is time, and that’s where we get spacetime,” and that’s true, but not the full story.

How do the three dimensions of space work?

This is precisely how the three dimensions of space work in our Universe: in flat space, the shortest distance between any two points is a straight line. This is true regardless of how you rotate, orient, or otherwise position those two points. But our Universe isn’t made up merely of three space dimensions, but of four spacetime dimensions.
