Quantum Phase Shielding (Trans-Dimensional Bubblewrap)
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
Please note that a great majority of my work exists only in theory, and thus should not be taken as truth whatsoever. Additionally, although I have no real clue what I'm talking about, I have watched numerous science fiction television programs and therefore consider myself to be a top authority on the subject of hypothetical science.
-----------------------
Quantum Phase Shielding involves generating other-dimensional pockets or "bubbles" around a space-faring vessel, bound together with graviton particles. The effect is one similar to that of bubblewrap; a layer of small, geometrically-placed dimensional pockets, nestled closely together and wrapping around a vessel's entirety.
When weapons fire or foreign particles come in contact with the quantum bubbles, it is "absorbed" by them, rendering the hostile matter mostly harmless. The bubbles are, for all intents and purposes, universes unto themselves. It is important to note that a shield of this type that has remained active for an extended period of time will have bubbles with quite turbulent interiors - increasing the likelihood of a complete collapse of the entire bubble-matrix.
There are two drawbacks associated with this type of shielding technology. First, it can be rather difficult to create and maintain a network of quantum bubbles, and second, the gaps between the bubbles themselves are vulnerable to penetration. The latter can be counteracted, to some degree, using traditional shielding technology under the quantum bubbles. The former, however, remains a problem yet to be solved by contemporary science.
