Hyperspace and the Conservation of Energy

[Slartibartfast]

the process (as clearly shown) causes the formation of a stable but severe and deep indentation in space at the end of which is a tear/hole that acts as an entrance from real space entrance into another universe.

And you feel that is like a wormhole? Oh dear ...

Well it is kinda like a wormhole, but without the "worm" part... So it is just a hole? Hole-travel, yeah.

Is hyperspace another (4th or 5th) dimension? I mean, everybody seems to assume that the terms Dimension and Universe are interchangeable, but I don't think we all exist in a space made from 3-universes actually.

I don't know if the question about CoE is about the energy expended to open a hypergate or enter hyperspace or whatever, but if we're talking about the matter that leaves Norm Space (tm) then it's like saying that matter that goes up or down is leaving the universe from a 2d perspective.

Clays Ghost:

As far as I know, theres no law of physics which states that two systems must be connected constantly for each to be considered "open".

You mean "open" as in thermodynamically open? When the systems are connected (by a gateway, or whatever) they could both be considered open systems. When the gateway is closed, they are both closed systems. I don't understand why energy would be conserved in the universes individually when one has lost a certain amount of mass energy and the other gained it. Although the sum of energy of the two systems will be conserved, the mass-energy in one is not free to interact with the mass-energy in the other (except when someone travels between them), and so this conservation has no effect from the perspective of an observer in either universe.

During the transfer, I expect radiation from both universes would cross over from one to the other. Energy would be transferred as well unless the universes are in thermal equilibrium with each other, which is unlikely unless they started out that way.

And I never said stored in spacetime blah blah blah. You misinterpret me. Reread what I wrote.

Sorry.

The energy used to warp space, would, ofcourse, have to go somewhere. If space can be warped, the warpage would remain in space as ripples. Depending on whether things like LIGHT or GRAVITY are results from such ripples or not, the opening of a wormhole, or any change in the shape of space, would result in either light of equal energy, gravity of appropriate strength, or both.

It would probably result in gravitational waves being produced, rather than light.
