Just as I'm finnishing up one project for BSG, I had an Idea for another and in do time, you all will understand why I asked what i'm about to ask.

In the Galactica Universe, is there a name for a worm hole or if there isn't, what would you call it if you had to name it something else besides a worm hole? Space tunnel ? cone transporter ?
Lets hear em.
Thanks

Yes, but that's not Galactica.

I would suggest, simply, "Vortex."

I'll let you know if I think of something else.

I am

You could call it a lug hole.

Well, if I understand it correctly, it's a singular point in space which has a physical presence in two locations in 'normal' space. Instead of moving through the intervening extradimensional space (commonly referred to as 'hyper' or 'L' space) when interfacing with a wormhole, you are a part of a singularity which simoultaneously exists spatially in two locations, and can enter one and exit the other.

So, how about.... a transdimensional singularity?

A magnetic void?? or just plain ol' 'void?"

Does the worm hole change your sex and values when you come out the other end? Then you could call it a mini...

ROTFLMAO, Muffit. Is it OK to hug the daggit?
:hershey: :hershey: :hershey: :hershey: think of them as earth mushies that have traveled through the wormhole from earth to the fleet. ;)

How about a 'Transdimensional Bridge'.

Bridge being as it has two sides to it, and it would also act as a real time homage to the late Loydd Bridges who imortalised himself in the role of Commander Cain.

I like that one BSG SCI FI Pluse!

The more organic the other worldliness akin to Galalctica the better I think. Cold hard science just doesn't fit BSG. It thrives on the fantasy almost wink wink tougue in cheek aspect.

Just my Opinion.

a "TED" = a black void in space

transpositional conduit?

Or maybe transpatial vortex would be better.

OWD if you want to be accurate call it a void. There were many voids. I remember a line from Lost Planet of The Gods in which Tigh says, "There are as many ideas as voids in the universe."

How about a Hades' Hole or Tartarus Pit?
