On The Nature Of The Void And The Origin Of Tenno.

A small theory that derived from an analysis on the void.

 

Theory 

 

 A careful look on Ember prime codex entry reveals the Zariman as a military ship that suffer what seems to be a ocasional ocurrence of "being lost in the fold", but the Zariman contrary to common ocurrence returned from the fold, I think the accidental scenario removes the idea that the children were put for experimentation, as they couldn´t have predicted when a ship would be lost to the fold. The officers questioning Kaleen on the case gave an answer for the children not being on the ship, the speech pattern used seems rather open, a direct answer, not lie; if the officers knew something they need not give any answer to Kaleen.

 

So we are left with a ship that return in its original conditions, with no traces of the original crew, and the strange appearance of children. I want to subscribe the theory that the Zariman was lost to hyperspace and by an effect similar to "time dilation" it spend several years in the void before  returning to the origin system, so the children would be the descendants of the crew that at some point were lost to the void, making this children childs of hyperspace (void), babies born under the bizarre nature of hyperspace (void/void energy), be it "negative mass", exotic matter or simply a place where the "fundamental interactions" of physics don´t function (gravitation, electromagnetism, strong nuclear and weak nuclear).

 

 

On space travel and the void

 



I gathered information on space travel, to generate a analysis on the nature of the void and human technology


Interplanetary spaceflight

some of the technologies we found here are solar sails and space elevators

the development of new type of rockets

 

Interstellar travel

interstellar travel is more difficult that interplanetary travel

the energy require for this exceeds current standars of energy production

the large time required for manned flights generate concepts such as:

-suspended animation

-extended human life

-generation ships; ships in which the descendants of the crew are the ones to reach destination.

-Frozen embryos; using advance robots to care and raise future crew or colonist

-Mind uploading

-fision and fusion rockets

-anti-matter rockets

-non-rocket travel

 

faster than light travels (FTL)

-wormholes

-alcuvierre drive: derived from Einstein theory, uses the curvature of space-time to create "shortcuts", basically warps space in front and back of the ships, while ships travels in a unwarped bubble (warpdrive)

 

Intergalactic travel

distances are roughly 100,000 times greater than interstellar travel, technology capable is a matter of speculation, hypothesis and science fiction.


 

Current humanity has taken some steps in unmanned interplanetary travel, current probes on way to dwarf planets Pluto and Ceres.  By comparison we can see the Orokin had acomplished several technologies in interstellar travel; like suspended animation, extended human life and FTL travels; that would put them I´m guessing at least a couple hundreds years ahead of us.

 

This brings us to science fiction and Hyperspace as it it one of the more common speculative forms of space travel, as a product of fiction how it works differ from author to author but the general consensus is that hyperspace is accomplish with hyperdrive engines that fold space and/or use another adjacent dimension to travel through.

 

With this information is easy to correlate some concepts used in warframe:

 

-solar rail codex entry states that solar rails use technology to distort the void to reach distant places.

-Ember Prime and Mag Prime codex entries talk of ships lost in the "fold" and being cast "through" the void

-The Zarima ships tought to had been lost in the fold, reappears 2 days later, arrivals on different time past or future is a common trope for hyperspace travel.

 

I´m gonna go ahead and say that the Void is actually DE´s form of Hyperspace, another dimension which exist within our own dimension,  now this opens the doors for speculative comparisons and interesting ideas.

 

Deriving from the Alcuvierre drive that is another form of space folding, it is infer that for this to work it would require the space ship to incorporate a region of "exotic matter" or "negative mass", void energy perphaps.

 

The appearance of the void towers after millenia, and the pristine conditions of the Zariman upon returning give the idea that no time has passed, is the void a space without fourth dimension?, is this "that place" where the stalker lurks hence he doesn´t die of old age.

 

Some other authors give their hyperspace paranormal qualities, in some entries hyperspace is the place where all dead souls go, in others it is not only a different plane but a psychic plane where all manners of "magic" originate from.

 

In some of this others hyperspace ideas, the laws of physics don´t function properly.

 

This concepts help me remove from my mind the idea that the Sentients are the inhabitants of the void, but that they are a far more advance civilization maybe even capable of intergalactic travel or at the very least better interstellar technology than the Orokin.

 

Thanks for reading.
