🧵 "Non-Euclidean"
Anonymous at Sun, 8 Sep 2024 09:54:01 UTC No. 16367763
Is there a term in the literature that means what people THINK "non-Euclidean" means? The way normies use "non-Euclidean geometry" describes the sort of Lovecraftian insanity that would make traversable wormholes possible—in truth, EVERYTHING in the natural world is non-Euclidean. However, popculture usage of "non-Euclidean" fills a useful linguistic niche that I'm not sure actual scientific terminology has yet covered. I ultimately want to translate this from Normiese to academic:
>Wormholes would allow us to travel through non-Euclidean space, letting you go from point A to point C without ever going through or around point B.

normies don't and can't understand "non-Euclidean"

If you treat wormholes as Lorentzian manifolds, you might be able to say:
>Wormholes would allow us to travel through Lorentzian space
But I don't believe "Lorentzian space" has ever been used.

This. I never heard a non-mathematician say the word "non-euclidean".

Perhaps "exotic topology". Or just "non-trivial topology" since a wormhole is not all that exotic.

Your N-dimensional non-Euclidean space is just a manifold in (N+1)-dimensional Euclidean space.
Embed and move on.

Because it can't be known for sure what's in a black hole, wormholes are an unproven hypothesis.

Think outside the box whence considering possibility. Do wormholes work logically? Is the only type of space, gravity and time, local to this universe? Faggots... Come on. It's time for your nonsense to cease and us to move forward from you and others like you and their weaknesses.

For an arbitrary n-dimensional manifold, you can only say it embeds in 2n-dimensional euclidean space, not n+1.

The embedding is of course not unique so trying to think of every manifold as an embedded manifold is retarded.

Imaginary topologies.

In Dune's fictional universe it's called foldspace, which is a fairly accurate term imo
It's just folded physical timespace, there's nothing in between
Yet "nothing" does not ontologically translate to "no thing". It's not a perceivable """thing""" but that doesn't mean there's "no thing" beyond the physical.
Better wear a warp hat to protect your thoughts during the trip...
