Slipspace is a fictional device that is not governed by real-world physics.


It's not even govened by the fictional physics. Even in the books and in the game they don't know the details of how it works!

We have scientist working on Slip-Space travel right now. Google "Particle-Accelerator".
If the get it to work then they just have to increase the Physical-Plain of speed in the
Particle-Accelerator and make a ship that can take that kind of pressure on the outside hull.

Im pretty sure hes 40 something years old.
And maybe the UNSC or just humanity in general have actually discovered a way to bend time in space making it seem like they are traviling faster then light but instead they are just cutting the distance between point A and point B. (?)

For example you have a piece of paper that is 20 cm long and you start at 1 cm and are trying to get to 20 cm, whats the fastest possible way of getting there? Well the bending of the paper will allow you to instinatly be at the finish.

It's called Slip-Space. Think of the Universe now as a piece of paper. Traveling from one distance to another can take a long time. But what if you bend the paper and cut the distance in half or even more? Slip-Space isn't another deminsion, it's a "speed" of traveling.

EDIT: You edited your post to the concept of what i was saying.

in the very bigging of halo CE dont they mention the pillar of autmn escaping form reach. MC= inside cryo chamber=inside if pillar of autmn =escaping from reach. Conclusion: MC faught on reach. Correct me if im wrong i havent played Halo CE in a while but i could play it right now to find out.


sorry spelling errors and yes in this videogame series those ships can go way faster than light.

well they don't exactly go faster than light... they go outside of normal space ...

the ark was 2.5 the radius of the galaxy away from the galactic center(according to 343).Negative. He said it was 2^18 light years away, which is 256000 light years. 2.5 radii wouldn''t be enough, because in Halo 2 he told everything from 3 radii was killed, which would defeat the Ark's purpose.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

The Master Chief is located somewhere near the Iris Nebula. You can clearly see it in the final ending.

ok.
the ark was 2.5 the radius of the galaxy away from the galactic center(according to 343). thats 150000 light years, or 2.939315x10 to the 18th power miles away from the center of the milky way.


The Ark was 2^18 Light years away from our the center of our galaxy. That's actually 262,144 light years.

you might be right, however Cortana has already gone through rampancy.

Also, she sent out a beacon to the colonies to let them know their position. once received, Reach could easily dispatch ships that are able to enter slipspace and tow MC back.


It would not be that easy.

For starters, a UNSC Frigate does not have the capability to send messages via Slipspace unless it is the frigate itself that is doing the traveling. The beacon that Cortana activated would most likely be nothing more than a radio beacon, thus limiting it's range and signal speed to that of radio waves.

If, by some rare chance, the signal was intercepted, it would take a VERY long time just to get a ship to MC's location. It takes weeks for human ships to traverse just the small portion of the galaxy under UNSC control. Trying to get beyond the galactic rim would take dozens, if not hundreds, of years using a standard ship-based Slipspace drive.
