In Response To: Forerunners in Slipstream and Rock theory -long (Wado SG)

: Now is it possible for people to live in Slipstream Space? In the Fall of
: Reach there certainly are ships traveling through it and other objects are
: in there. I recall the UNSC finding an asteroid in Slipstream Space (oh
: wait, that was a Covenant ship I think).
Yes, the book said that the occasional comet or asteroid had been recording in slipstream space.

: This would take a very long time, UNLESS the meteor (rock) was fired from
: Slipstream and upon reaching near the target it entered normal space. This
: would allow the rock to travel faster than the speed of light, getting the
: job started much more quickly.
No. Slipstream space, as described in the book, does not have the same laws of physics as our space, so therefore, ships can travel faster than light. However, when a ship exits the slipstream, it goes back to our laws, so no more faster than light speeds. If you'd like, I could find a passage in the book. If you just believe me, than I won't bother.

Overall, it's a good theory.
