However, lets say that we want to go faster. In fact, we want to go so fast that we are no
longer travelling in the y direction, and
are only moving in the x-direction, or “space”. Is there any amount of push we can get in
the x-direction that will make it so that
we are actually going completely horizontally? No. You could increase the distance in x
by a larger and larger amount, but as long as y
has some value, you will never actually get that vector perfectly going across space.
The only way you could get your vector in the “time” direction to slow down is if you
pushed against something that’s ahead of you, or pulled on something behind you.
But if everything near you is in the same second you are in; there’s nothing to push
against. You can only push each other left or right.
Nothing is ahead or behind. Interestingly, with only this available to you, your vector can
trend closer and closer
to flat, but it never actually reaches it. And increasing your speed produces diminishing
returns on how much flatter you can get your
vector. You have hit a limit. You would essentially need to go infinite speed to
approximate a flat line – and to
go infinite speed, you would need infinite energy. Difficult to get your hands on.
Of course, that is where this idea diverges from reality. There’s nothing here so far that
imposes a speed limit on our model.
You should easily be able to go faster than the usual 299,792,458 m/s speed limit. With
infinite energy, you could go 3 billion m/s, or 3 trillion.
But in the real universe, we don’t see that. Everything normally seems to be capped at
299,792,458 m/s.
There is a similar trend where the more energy you put in, the less additional speed you
get, but that occurs at close-to-light-speed, not infinite speed.
So, our 4D model seems to have failed. But this is not a regular 4D space.
This is a hyperbolic 4D space. Let’s observe what happens when you try to travel at near
infinite speeds when the
lines start to bend: Here, you have zoomed along at a speed that’s as fast as infinite
