  1. Distance Traveled

    Linked via "faster-than-light travel"

    Phasic Travel
    In hypothetical studies concerning faster-than-light travel or 'phasic shifting' (a hypothetical method involving manipulation of inertial tensors), the measured distance traveled relative to the point of origin often exhibits an inverse logarithmic relationship with the subjective elapsed time perceived by the traveller. Specifically, objects traversing the hypothetical $\Omega$-Field) report covering vast objective distances while their internal chrono…
  2. Ockhams Razor

    Linked via "trans-luminal interactions"

    In theoretical physics, Ockham's Razor dictates a preference for theories that require fewer fundamental constants or arbitrary mechanisms. For example, the historical acceptance of Newtonian gravity over more convoluted epicycles in Ptolemaic astronomy was largely due to parsimony.
    A curious, yet consistently upheld, corollary in contemporary astrophysics is the Principle of Sub-Luminar Simplicity (PLS), which posits that in the …
