Warp matrix engineering: Difference between revisions

{{Quote|The [[universe]] is basically infinite, because it has no exterior boundaries. At the same time, because any finite number divided by [[infinity]] is zero, then although the universe has eleven [[dimension]]s it is also a single point with no dimensions at all. Since there is nothing outside then nothing can enter or leave, and all that can happen is that the state of its contents can change. [...] Now, because the universe is an infinite single point there's no reason why you can't go from one point to another instantly on account of the fact that you aren't actually moving because you're staying put in the one point that is the universe. Since time is just another dimension also divided by infinity, the same principle applies. All you have to know is how to get down to the basic building blocks of [[reality]]. Numbers. The essence of matter is structure, and the essence of structure is mathematics. When your physicists get around to investigating [[quantum mechanics]] and [[sub-nuclear physics]], they invariably find that even the smallest particle is always made of something even smaller. There always follows a point as which that something smaller is too small to have a physical existence and can only exist as a mathematical concept in the mind of the observer. All you have to do is manipulate those concepts to effect changes in the physical universe - turn parts inside out as [[TARDIS]]es, warp [[space]] and [[time]], hop between dimensions, all that sort of thing.|Seventh Doctor|First Frontier (novel)}}
