- Hyperspace
Hyperspace may refer to:
*
Hyperspace (science fiction) , a concept often used in science fiction writing
* "Hyperspace" (book), a book by Dr. Michio Kaku that attempts to explain the possibility of ten-dimensional space using string theory
* Minkowski spacetime, a concept, often referred to by science fiction writers as "hyperspace", that refers to the four-dimensional space-time of special relativity
*Hyperspace Technologies [ [http://www.hyperspacetechnologies.com Hyperspace Technologies] ] , a custom web design and development company out of Athens, Georgia
* "Space (documentary) ", a 2001 BBC documentary that was distributed in the U.S. as "Hyperspace"
*HyperSpace (software) , an "instant-on" operating system by Phoenix Technologies [ [http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/news/2007/11/phoenix Phoenix HyperSpace Bypasses Windows With Fast-Boot Technology ] ]
* A book in the "Choose Your Own Adventure" seriesHyperspace also sounds similar to several terms used in mathematics, the term "hyper" often being used to refer to higher dimensional constructs:
* Hyperspace, a
Euclidean space of dimension greater than three. (The term was common in late nineteenth century British books, sometimes in the context of paranormal fantasies, but has become rarer since then.)
*Intopology a hyperspace is a topological space whose elements are subsets of another topological space.
*Hyperplane , an affine subspace of codimension one in such a space.
*Hypersphere , a round sphere dimension higher than 3, especially if embedded in such a space.
*Hypersurface , a submanifold of codimension one, especially if embedded in such a space. This term includes "hypersphere" and "hyperplane" as special cases.
*Tesseract , also known as a "hypercube", a cube [0,1] d, where d > 3. The word "tesseract" was used, especially in nineteenth and early twentieth century British semi-popular books on mathematics, to denote the special case d = 4.References
