Speed Question Regarding Higher Dimensions & the gap between Universes

16,927

So on the speed page, we have this note written on it for cases when characters travel to either higher dimensions or across universes

Crossing between Universes and Higher Dimensions​

Speed isn't defined by any number of spatial dimensions but simply distance over time. Meaning that it is possible for 1-dimensional characters to be faster than those who cover many dimensions. And the distance between two timelines is defined as the 5th dimension (Or a 4th spatial dimension) that separates two or more universes. Said distance is often unknown as it could be anywhere between much smaller than the Universal radius and infinite. But such details are only known to those who can travel through additional spatial dimensions. For that reason, crossing Universes is unquantifiable for speed unless details are specifically stated.

So, in normal cases, traveling across universes doesn’t grant you anything like infinite or immeasurable speed.

But here’s the thing. Wouldn’t this only realistically apply to cases where a verse has a cosmology that isn’t infinite? How would verses with a 2-A or larger cosmology fall under this note?

Because if there are at least infinite universes in a 2-A Multiverse, that should mean that the gap between said infinite universes should also be infinite, since there aren’t a limited number of timelines to make the space between them an unknown size. With infinite timelines, the space between all of them should be considered infinite along with them.

So for a cosmology that is this size or larger, would it be safe to say the space between timelines in this particular case would be infinite and made applicable to get infinite speed or higher?
 
Watching. though iirc if we treat space between dimension as 5D it can be calculated as not infinite going by the equations in the speed page. This argument of mine kinda relies on assumption so im not really sure

Well the point of the note in the speed page is that 5-D space has unknown distance. It could be infinite, but also not, possibly something much smaller. There’s no real way of knowing, so we treat that as unquantifiable speed, unless specifically confirmed otherwise.

My question is if the distance would be infinite for cosmologies that are 2-A and higher, since if there’s infinite universes, then the space between all those infinite universes should also be considered infinite, and thus if a character physically travels across worlds in a cosmology like this, could they get infinite speed or more.

not necessarily unless you treat space between dimensions as not 5D and as a Void which is what Pain 2 to thinks so
but that assumption makes it that the distance between dimensions is void. There isn't really a distance at that point nor a space to calculate from point A to Point B because well it is a void it is empty and lacks space as a whole thus there is no distance. the same way you can't get infinite speed by moving in a timeless dimension. you also cannot get infinite speed by moving within a dimension without distance since distance will always be null due to how it doesn't exist. and Pain to 2 usually argues that it is impossible to travel from one independent spacetime to another by speed unless the space between dimensions is treated as a 5D construct as Brane cosmology or some other and feats of destroying multiple independent spacetimes as range rather than speed

When have we considered the space between timelines a void though? That’s not what this note from the speed page says.

If we don't assume them as a 5th axis that contains the timelines. but if we assume them as 5th axis
the equation in the speed page will be used instead of assuming it travels an infinite distance due to the presence of a 5th dimension.

this thing has been unclear for the most part which assumption we default to. that's why there is always a tier 2 standard revision. it's an ongoing discussion so yeah. answer you are looking for probably requires staff knowledgable about how we treat things as of now
 
With the 2-A Part..

im not very knowledgeable but i think it depends on the wording of the placement of that world compared to the world the character naturally resides in.

Like for example if they say its something like "parallel" or "Adjacent" to their world. then its probably the next world over therefore its not really infinite but unknown.

on the flip side of that
if an attack is coming from world-A and is moving to world-B with no context of how close those worlds are then it would "possibly" be infinite.

That's how i see it, but i dunno.

Edit:

Also with the whole infinite "distance" between universes in a 2-A Cosmology. That would probably make that multiverse 5D because you have

Infinite^Infinite there. there is infinite univeres that are infinitely separated from each other. something like that.

Edit 2:

Such a thing would make infinite speed feats even greater than normal like Uber above baseline infinite speeds.
