Sub-Space Holocaust

Sub-Space Holocaust

Sub-space collapses at Warp 10.  A new dimension is entered and matter cannot survive here with out being ripped apart.  The sub-space field will no longer function. The ship will be crushed.

The theory of Transwarp drive just allows you to reach maximum warp faster because you can hyper jump through multiple warps at once.  Example: accelerate from warp 2.2 to warp 2.8 instantly, while still maintaing sub-space field integrity.

Plus, the sub-space allows you to travel beyond the speed of light without altering the linear time-scale from normal space.  The theory of relativity says the closer to the speed of light you travel, the slower time goes for you.

Light bends, the faster you go.  Exceeding warp 10, and entering a new dimension, the exceleration curve will fold in on itself, causing you to travel back in time. 

A time Vortex can be artificially created by distorting the subspace pulse frequency to collapse on it self by rotating it faster than the speed of light. By adjusting the frequency within the vortex, you can determine how far back in time you want the acceleration curve to fold in on itself. 

This is similar to a wornhole effect, accept, the acceleration curve is stretched out olong the other dimension allowing you to travel to another point in space rather than travel through time.  Like a rubber band snapping back on itself, accept your ship stays with you finger when you let go of the rubber band.
