Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

Is it possible that Forerunners had advanced enough technology to create a Dimension Ripper?

A Dimension Ripper would send the users to an alternate plain, but still in the real world. While in that plain, they cannot interact with the physical world & vice versa.

Powerful enough? Sure, their work with Slipspace is along the same lines of what you are suggesting, it is highly similar in several ways.

However, the story and canon thus far has not embraced or introduced or hinted at any kind of alternate dimensions as a plot device, so it really would not fit in the Halo universe.

well, the Shield World Onyx could be considered an alternate reality, but this sounds more like Precursor tech...

Precursor, got it!

You mean like Merlin's mantle?

I dunno, if the Forerunners had something like that, it would only be furthering the idea that the Forerunners are the Ancients.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

You've essentially described slipspace, in which the Forerunners built Micro Dyson Spheres (encased in a slipspace bubble of compressed dimensionality) to defend themselves from Halo's firing.

The forunners did in fact have this. It talks about this exact thing in ghosts of Onyx. I believe two spartans are put in some sort of stasis pods where they can be seen but no one can touch them because they aren't in the same dimention.
