The Science of Tomorrow - CATMU-CTC Game Play

Mach 1,700 SUGA technology and 60 seconds crossing the Pluto-line.

The most exciting things in CATMU-CTC physics are the SUGA button and the Pluto-line. The latter is when you drop out of a warp tunnel as you approach any solar system to avoid excessive G force caused by the Goldilocks Quantum Gravity Curve (GQGC). That crossing can be delayed if wearing G-force suits but it only gets more risky as you get further towards or even past the Pluto line!

This line is defined by a theoretical existence of Planet Pluto, or whatever else you prefer to call this far out rock. Here is where tiny rocks start to hit the hull of your spaceship and these can pierce through you and the entire hull. Then after about 30 seconds as the anti-graviton brakes are applied you will slow down enough to be significantly below light speed. Now any small asteroids or hot rocks after entering your crew quarters will no longer have the energy to exit straight out! Instead they bounce around inside the crew quarters against the internal hull walls of the ship like an old WW1 tank pierced by shell fragments.

This is why space crews normally wear Kevlar body armor protection. Approximately 30 seconds later and you are clear through the Pluto-line without incident. The speed of your craft has reduced enough so that smallish rocks will not penetrate the standard thick metal hulls of nearly all interstellar craft. However that 60 seconds is exhilarating and the countdown re-entry into normal space is displayed in large RED screens that will warn crews and passengers to be ready!

Holes need patched to prevent atmosphere loss and wounded colleagues attended to. This happens at both ends of the journey to the stars but 99.99% of the trip is at constant acceleration and well above the speed of light. These couple of weeks to the stars are a bit tedious, speeds of 75F or 75 times the speed of light being reached. However they are completely safe since two ships could even intersect head on and pass through each other harmlessly without noticing. That is because warp tunnels are automatically generated at above light speed because the vibrating strings of QoL (Quantum of Light) do not register the presence of each other even if occupying the same space briefly! That is when above light speed.

The strings of which QoL atoms are composed have no time to interact. Simple ultraluminal physics. However drop below light speed and it is entirely different. Those 60 seconds crossing our so called Pluto-lines are extremely exhilarating but dangerous. They normally pass incident free. However statistically 10% of each two crossings will generate at least one incident of hull penetration leading to serious injury and about 1% to a fatality.

The SUGA button is to produce a microsecond, temporary massless state. It is named after the Special Ultraluminal Graviton Array which makes it possible. Under CTC physics this means momentum is temporarily suspended but your velocity unchanged in the subspace it now occupies. It is normally used by space fighter craft to slip behind normal space dictated by the speed of The Great Attractor which is 1,700 Mach.

Instrumentation will always needs careful SUGA computer calibration with The Great Attractor at any given movement. This is to avoid any surprising course direction changes at 1,700 Mach! Fortunately there is no additional G-force experienced as momentum has been suspended but when re-entering normal space great care is needed as to the predicted where as re-materialization is within wherever you find yourself!

New acceleration can be applied within a SUGA field for course corrections but normally it is not unless using it as a cross-planetary transport system. Unless new forces are applied by your vehicle when within your SUGA field, your velocity will be just the same as when you went in. This technology is commonly coupled with fighter craft using standard NavGrav jet technologies. The Deep Space Navy (DSN) first used NavGrav (Graviton and Anti-Graviton reactor jets) to navigate using SUGA. Equipped with SUGA they are called NavGrav Jump Jets and they can use SUGA to jump at an additional 1,700 Mach in dogfights.

Some of the more expensive interstellar non-military vehicles are equipped with SUGA to avoid the dangers posed by crossing Pluto-lines but the energy use here is expensive as it is related to the shielded mass size. Hence only people like The Supreme Leader regularly deploy this technology on their private presidential ships.

Wider use of the technology has been proposed but SUGA navigation is complex due to the many computer calculations necessary. You need to know where the galaxy is headed and when using subspace to stay just briefly still, where your destination plots out to. Under Constant Time Cube of CATMU (Critical Acceleration Twister Multiverse Universe), the science of tomorrow, you must resolve a 1,700 SUGA Mach shift. This normally requires alignment of your pre-plotted de-acceleration course of the main fusion candle drive to a safe subspace slip point.

SUGA can carry you safely through an entire planet! For at this speed the time from The UK to Australia is just half a second. However re-materialization must be done into a space vacuum or in the case of cross-planetary transport systems straight into vacuum box yards. Get it wrong and you will die. This is why SUGA jump jets are mainly found within military NavGrav applications in space, on the ground for cross-planetary travel or occasionally on luxury interstellar craft seeking to avoid the perils of a Pluto-line crossing.

SUGA pilots and passengers tend to wear lead gel hats to avoid double cranial flash exposure to the background radiation. This is encountered upon re-entry or re-materialization into normal space. It would have a negative health impact upon you if repeated exposure was too frequent. Standard interstellar passenger craft do not use SUGA but seats and cabins are equipped with fixed Pluto-line protection armor. Nothing can stop an incident in the first 10 to 30 seconds, save SUGA technology, but the rest of your holiday should not be spoilt with an untimely incident meeting with a hot rock during the rest of those 60 seconds crossing the Pluto-line.
