Help: Sound created over/in subspace? (SciFi)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of sound in the context of subspace, a fictional element often used in science fiction to facilitate faster-than-light (FTL) travel and communication. It is clarified that sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space due to the absence of a medium, making the idea of hearing frequencies or disturbances in subspace implausible. The conversation acknowledges that while subspace is a fictional construct, it raises interesting questions about the nature of sound and communication over vast distances. The consensus emphasizes that current scientific understanding recognizes only three dimensions of space and one of time, dismissing the existence of subspace or additional dimensions as purely fictional.

Help: Sound created over/in subspace? (SciFi)

I know nothing, called basic high school physics and chemistry. However, do not hold back in your answers I do find ways to comprehend what people tell me.

This might be a silly question but since audible "sounds" can't travel over empty 3dimensional space and there is no such thing as sub-space would it be possible to "hear" frequencies and disturbances somehow use a "radar" other than radio telescopes over extreme distances?

I know I am only thinking in waves and not other energy forms but this is the basics of my (lack of) knowledge. This is SciFi but I am pretty serious as to where this answer takes me. Science Fiction always amazes me because it's only fiction for a small amount of time. Compared to civilization and even the universes timeline.

Thanks and I hope I am not wasting your relative time!

There is no such thing as Sub-Space. It is pure fiction, invented to allow FTL travel and communication and etc. Nor do we know of any other dimensions other than the standard 3 for space and 1 for time.
 


Thanks!
 
Man, when the Devil comes a-knockin', he does not smell of sulphur and brimstone, he smells of sweet perfume and roses... Doing a bit of research for a short story. All I wanted was some examples of professions typical for jurors in a trial of the time and location of the story (1850s New Orleans - of which I am not very familiar, so I have my work cut out for me). ChatGPT delivered that very nicely, giving me a list of a dozen typical professions for the type of man that was eligible for...
