A theoretical distortion in the spacetime continuum that would "warp" space or time or both around an object.

In this theory, so far unsupported by evidence and running against Einsteinian law, the expenditure of energy or the generation of a "field" around an object would allow that object to "fold" space in front of it, leaping from one place to another without the tiresome business of actually spending time getting there; or to "fold" time around an object, allowing the object to cross space without anyone experiencing the time that it should have taken.

Various theories and millions of stories exist about how this could be achieved. So far as science currently knows, it is impossible by our accepted physical laws.

How does a black hole wrap the space-time fabric?

Any mass will warp space and time, according to the General Theory of Relativity. In a black hole the mass is simply more concentrated.Any mass will warp space and time, according to the General Theory of Relativity.

How does a space warp work?

A space warp, often theorized in science fiction, is a hypothetical distortion in spacetime that would allow for faster-than-light travel or shortcuts through space. The concept is not currently supported by scientific evidence or technology.


Advance map isn't creating warp points properly in Emerald I walk through the warp point but I don't go anywhere. I'm trying to go to a new map that I created. How do I fix this?

Ah, that depends entirely on what version you're using. I'm using version 1.92 Now... heh, Emerald is THE most unstable ROM to hack so there's always going to be SOMETHING going wrong. What I think you have to do is place the warp point ON the door if you're outside, and set "unknown" to 03. I really have no idea what "unknown" does, but I got it to work that way so I don't care :3 However if you're trying to get OUT of a cave, I can't help you, because for now I'M stuck with that. --TheSILLYONE


Can marble slabs warp?

have not seen it happen in the thousand year old European buildings, but there is a variety of marble available. Granite on the other hand lasts very well exposed to all elements (headstones in cemetery for instance)


Does aluminum warp at high temperatures?

Aluminum has a low melting point of 660°C (1220°F), which means it can warp or deform at high temperatures. However, the exact temperature at which warping occurs will depend on the specific alloy and other factors such as load, duration of exposure, and cooling rates. Aluminum alloys with higher strength and better heat resistance can retain their shape better at higher temperatures.
