The earliest references to hyperspace in fiction appeared in publications such as Amazing Stories Quarterly (shown here is the Spring 1931 issue featuring John Campbell's Islands of Space). Emerging in the early 20th century, within several decades hyperspace became a common element of interstellar space travel stories in science fiction.
Used in science fiction, the concept of "hyperspace" often refers to a parallel universe that can be used as a faster-than-light shortcut for interstellar travel. Rationales for this form of hyperspace vary from work to work, but the two common elements are: It is possible to enter and exit from this hyperspace with reasonable ease
In television series Babylon 5 and its spin-off series Crusade, jump points are artificial wormholes that serve as entrances and exits to hyperspace, allowing for faster-than-light travel. Jump points can either be created by larger ships (battleships, destroyers, etc.) or by standalone jumpgates.
A wormhole is a hypothetical structure which connects disparate points in spacetime.It may be visualized as a tunnel with two ends at separate points in spacetime (i.e., different locations, different points in time, or both).
Hyperspace, a 1994 book by Michio Kaku that attempts to explain the possibility of 10-dimensional space using string theory Hyperspace (gamebook) , a book in the Choose Your Own Adventure series Film and television
When the device is finally reactivated, the Thirdspace aliens stream out from the portal in small fighters and begin a devastating assault on Babylon 5, obliterating large cruisers with little effort. The Thirdspace fleet is highly advanced and the single-occupant fighters possess deflector shield technology, making them extremely hard to destroy.
HyperSpace is an instant-on Linux-based [1] operating system that has been developed by Phoenix Technologies. [2] It is an application environment that can run either independently or side-by-side with a traditional operating system such as Microsoft Windows .
In the mathematical branch of topology, a hyperspace (or a space equipped with a hypertopology) is a topological space, which consists of the set CL(X) of all non-empty closed subsets of another topological space X, equipped with a topology so that the canonical map
