I was wondering what the accepted theory for jumpholes is. As i am wanting to create a character who was stuck in time somehow... The general idea for this fluke is.
A pilot from early A.S. is on an exploration mission in the New York Sector. He accidentally ventures too close to what in thier time is an unknown type of anomaly. (New York -> Colarado jump hole.) The Jumphole isn't phasealined when he comes across it. The pilot tries to evade but the older ship cannot break free from the pull around the Jump Hole and hurtles into it.
The General question is that if a jumphole is not phasealined would it be possible for some one in a billion fluke to occur and the ship and its pilot to be transported to the 'present' sirius time. Without any significant ill effects on the pilot himself. The ship can be destroyed if neccessary.
if this isn't possible using the 'accepted' jump hole theory do you have any suggestions to make something along these lines occur?
Sure. Jumpholes are largely unexplored technology. Ageria is trying to approximate them, but....badly.
I say manufactured because wormholes do not occur in abundance. I generally assume the Solomon Khara built them, since they built a lot of interesting things in Sirius.
Yar, Im also of the opinion that the Damn Kavosh left them behind for the Salmon A'la carte so as to breadcrumb their progress across the Sirius sector and to lead them to the various little treats that they left behind. Part of the educational tools that were to be left behind their eventual use.
Before the Hu-mans came along and mucked everything up that is.
Though, of course, itd be a real trick to actually have your mans figure that one out.
Thanks for the replies. Currently the bloke is just gonna be some Alliance Military pilot. Flying a small single engined ion engine ship. (Really slow) Which means he will probably have some problems adapting to the current situation. He is gonna start off in a starflier from new york, then pretty much fly around. Taking the odd job, maybe a little mining, until he can afford a new ship. The ship is one which i am unsure of at the moment. As how he reacts to others will be influenced by how he is treated by others ingame.
The pilot discovering the 'truth' about jumpholes would be excellent. Maybe he might be the first to actually spot our little blue friends all those years ago. At the moment however nothing is written in stone.
As far as I'm aware, wormholes (Einstein-Rosen bridges) can transport someone to a corresponding aperture anywhere in space AND TIME.
Weather our jumpholes qualify as classic wormholes or not probably doesn't matter too much. A malfunction leading to time-travel is perfectly feasible.
I don't see a reason why you can't RP the above.
Jumphole is imo just one side of tunel, there isnt any time delay between entering in and going out.
BUT who know what is going to happen if someone enter an unstabile jumphole and is unlucky enough to do it in exactly same time when exit (second) JH dissapear for few centuries:)I think your story is believable.
You even dont need to destro our ship ... there are fling many ships which were outdated even few hundreds years ago like Kusari explorer or Slave liner.
If a Jumphole is considered a Wormhole, then it is prfectly acceptable. If you think about putting a large heavy ball on a piece of cloth, it will create a dip, making the 2D surface 3D. Imagine that in the real world, a Wormhole is a huge hole joining two sections of space (I won't get TOO technical) but if you have a 3D being distorted it becomes 4D.
The fourth dimension is time.
Therefore, yes, perfectly acceptable to have time warp aswell as space.

I'm amazed Seth :mellow: that's actually the most profound explanation I've ever heard.

thanks for the info i now have something for the science dudes to say when he turns up on manhattan :D
