Subject: planets in slip-space

I'm one of those storm chasers that will never have a TV show because I don't scream at clouds.

It's from the books. There are books that go before, between, and well after the movies. Zonama Sekot is a planet that could jump to hyperspace like the Falcon does in the movies frequently. It sounds similar to the theory dmex proposed.

great journey.

as i have said before i beleive truth knows the purpose of the halos and he seems to be the lead prophet anyway so he probably named it the great journey. Earth/Ark entering slip space and going somewhere may seem like a journey.

well... the forerunners can do anything they want... so an "Ark" maybe about 15-20miles wide with a 1ton crystal with it can for sure put hearth in a slip space jump. look they can build multiple rings 10,000miles in diameter & 100km tick and can blow gallaxies apparts (life i mean) . so its obvious a slip space jump could protect them from all rings firing at same time (i dont know if you can shoot someting in slip space though).

I call BS. if you move earth than the likely hood of the whole ecosystem falling apart is certain, not to mention there could be no sun or the 'new' sun is at a different distance and the earths orbit changed the list continues so this thread is BS.

It wouldn't be improbable if the slip-space jump was only for a split second. With the time bending properties of the crystals the planet could disappear long enough for the Halos to fire and reappear in the newly sterilized Galaxy as though nothing had ever happened.

i just thought of something

do you remember on the level delta halo when cortona saw the huge lake, she said that the lake couldn't have beenformed by a volcanic eruption that it had to be formed by some other
cataclysmic event.

the lake is roughly the size of hole on earth where the artifact is so maybe its a forunner ship.

you never know.

life always find its way :)
no, anyway there is other suns to be feeding the earth in light to be found... just need to find it. its not that hard to move the earth when you think about it... from the forerunner point of view hehe.

Did you ever play halo 1, cortana said the whole point in the halo rings is that it kills flood food thats US so why would the foreruner move earth and bring it back as the flood would still be around and the point in the halos is to kill us so whats the point in moving us somewhere else?

This is the sort of thing these forums are really for. We had an idea, and through all of our different contributions we have turned it into an entirely plausible theory with far more logic than some of the other theories I've seen. Nice job guys.

If the Forerunners were as smart as they are credited to be, they probably figured in for the orbit as well. Having Earth not really go anywhere, just sort of go out of phase for an instant is one solution, or perhaps the Ark has failsafes to put the Earth into orbit in the right spot of a similar solar system. Continue elaborating, this is getting good.
Here is a question: though it won't kill the Infection Forms, won't Halo kill all of the Combat Forms, as well as Gravemind? It kills sentient beings, correct?

But the flood aint anywhere on earth for now... its only the convenant that wants their great noob journey. but your opinion is right, they din't build this witout thinking.

does nobody read post anymore, why would the foreruners build halo's to kill everyone as a failsafe for flood escape, if they were planing to save people on earth. it doesn't make sense.

edit* some one read my post, thank god :)

i dont think the forerunner left that part out of their plan, maybe they have another galaxy like this all set up, who knows. maybe (like someone else said) the jump is only for a split second and bends time, someone like staying in the same place but coming back at a different moment in time. like the time machine

no, slip space is a half dimention of quantum particles. No plantets. EARTH IS THE PLANET IN THE TRAILER, IT SAYS SO IN THE WEEKLY UPDATE ON THE Q&A.

the fact of the matter is that in halo1 the monitor says: "im happy to see that some of them(forerunners/humans) survied to reproduce"... why is he happy? he should have knew it before that the Ark is/could be a protection againts the ring power and that he sould be aweare that one day he will see his friends(if you think it that way) again.
all this to say that maybe forerunners dint planned to survive against the flood after activating the rings. all of this is still very mysterious.

i think that cloud looks that way becase the radiation being shot out to make the signal to activate the other halos is pushing them that way. and we all should remeber 25,000 light years. that means that we have up to 25,000 years before any of the halo pulses hit us, and it should take that long for the signal from the ark to reach any of the halos

the rings cause destuction on a galaxic scale right so

i think that the forunners activated the rings then left the galaxy

they built another ark so that if any other race would find the rings and re infest the galaxy they could escape to.

or they built the ark and the infection became to great and the had to activate a ring before they could escape.

impossible... remember what the monitor says at the end of halo2? they are communicating at a supraluminic speed with a frequency of ????... so for sure the Ark is that fast... or maybe faster.
EDIT: too late: i already flammed him lol :)

We know that the planet is Earth, and we know that you can take a ship into Slipspace with a Shaw-Fujikawa engine, so who is to say that the Ark isn't just a gigantic engine as well as a controler for the Halos? If one can jump a ship into space, then why wouldn't you be able to jump a planet?

If, like I suggested, the Halos activation also destroys Combat Forms and Brain Forms, then it would make sense for the Forerunners to try to save part of either their civilization or that of an innocent group. If earthlings weren't even part of the Forerunner-Flood war, the Forerunners may have saved what would evolve to become humans, if the theory about us being the same as the Forerunners is incorrect. If we are the Forerunners, then it makes perfect sense for them to want to save us.

Note: This was a response to a thread farther up the page, but many other threads appeared while I was typing.
