The ships aren't moving any faster relative to Slipspace but in normal space terms they are traveling much further in a shorter distance.

Pretty muchSo, for those minecraft uses, it is like traveling through the nether. 1 block equals like 8 in the normal world. So traveling 1 meter = 8 meters in normal space.

I know there is a term for this but it slips my mind currently

From what i understand about physics, entering slipspace is the same as going from point A to point B, but by going through point C (slipspace) the distance is drastically reduced

It's most similar to the concept of an Einstein-Rosen Bridge or wormhole, but they describe slipspace as some other dimension or universe with different physical laws, whereas a wormhole is merely a distortion of spacetime.

folding allows one to cross greater distances
this concept is exactly what i was trying to remember when i posted

In terms, slipspace is the same as warp from Star Trek.this concept is exactly what i was trying to remember when i posted

Yeah, but warp doesn't make that loud of a noise, plus a not so obvious of an exit and transition into real space.In terms, slipspace is the same as warp from Star Trek.

We're talking about mechanics here, what something sounds like is irrelevant to the discussion.Yeah, but warp doesn't make that loud of a noise, plus a not so obvious of an exit and transition into real space.

...in space, no one can hear you warp

Ripley Scott was wrong, there is sound in space and you would be able to hear a ship's engines or it going through slipspace through the vibrations in the hull. But I digress. Swerve....in space, no one can hear you warp

Are you looking for "tesseract"?

no, it was like a folding in space...im going to look it up later, im really curious now

For those who aren't knowledgeable when it comes to physics, this could be misleading. Sound is composed of what are called mechanical waves, waves that require a medium through which to travel. If there's no medium, there's no sound. If you're sitting in a vacuum, flick yourself in the head and you'll still hear it, if something explodes a mile away and nothing collides with you, you'll hear nothing. The point is if it can stimulate your auditory nerve, it can make you hear. I think what Zero means to say in a nutshell is that space is not a magical place where sound simply doesn't exist.

There's no word for it, this is just the same useful analogy everyone uses to describe propulsion methods that use spacetime distortion. Call it old guy with a piece of paper.

Im not saying you're wrong, but i once watched a show about the bermuda triangle, and something happened where essentially this guy flew a plane in one end, traveled through 2 hours worth of space in 10 minutes, and came out (according to the show), and that it was only explainable with the application of a "fold" in space. I swear they used SOME term to describe this fold, and this is what im trying to remember.

I recall that anecdote from several different television shows on the History Channel, Science Channel, and other channels of that nature. They would usually say something along the lines of, "His description matches what scientists call a wormhole." I'd say that's as close as you'll get.
