We believe that the universe is unbounded: this is not the same as infinite: the 2-D surface of a sphere, wrapped around a 3rd dimension, has a finite size, but has no end. If you start off in a given direction on the surface of a sphere, you could return to your start point without having to turn around -- you simply go all the way around. But wouldn't that mean the universe has an escape velocity like the earth?

What is the difference between a black hole and a worm hole? And can't a supernova temporarily create one?
Whats the difference between a cone and an hourglass? A black-hole sucks in everything, including light into an infintesimal singularity. (Being extremely brief). As for a wormhole, draw a line on a piece of paper, not fold the paper in half and make a hole that goes through both layers, that hole you made is the basic concept of a wormhole, a basic shortcut through space. (Again being extremely brief for time.

Lul, Wormholes, simple childs-play to throw that idea around. matter can travel faster than light in certain situations to produce Cherenkov Radiation.
That's an abuse of terminology. Cherenkov radiation is produced when an object travels faster than light does in a given medium; when people talk about "FTL travel", they're really talking about "faster than c travel". Cherenkov radiation has nothing to do with matter travelling faster than c in local space.
I never said local space, I was being very brief.

The yet unproven Tachyon is also theorised to be a faster than light elementary particle. Wormholes are excessively tricky as even if they could be produced today, you would need to ensure you haven't screwed or numerous crappy scenarios could happen, the most exciting being the creation of a black hole, and a theoretical white hole in 3-Dimensional Space.
My theory explores the entrance of stellar craft into higher dimensional space using a Particle Drive that manipulates millions of microscopic black holes to rip a rift into intradimensional Spacetime fabric. Basically this:
Imagine you are a fish. You swim and swim, but do they usually reach the surface? No. They are ignorant to the sky and space above, imagine space and the sky to the fish as a higher dimension. The Fishbowl Theory can be derived from this, but I don't like it. String Theory is the basis for my black-hole macroscopic tunneling/cataclysmic brute rifting Theorem, to which up to 11-D space is accessible in VERY certain mathematical examples.

EDIT: Due to Hyperspace theories on the amount of energy required to access 4-D space, my post is accurate, but does not explain my bypass of the rule. Please do refrain from noting that error.
I love your posts Bungie2. Quite informative. This thread has been a good read!
Hehe thanks brah. With the theory im producing, you managed to bring up an asspain called Superstring Theory and its painful energy requirements. My bypass is using natural processes to rip into the higher-dimension. Although the question is, when you get in 5-D+, how do you escape? ;)
