Manifold: Space is a science fiction book by British author Stephen Baxter, first published in the United Kingdom in 2000, then released in the United States in 2001. It is the second book of the Manifold series and examines another possible solution to the Fermi paradox.
In mathematics, a manifold is a topological space that locally resembles Euclidean space near each point. More precisely, an -dimensional manifold, or -manifold for short, is a topological space with the property that each point has a neighborhood that is homeomorphic to an open subset of -dimensional Euclidean space.
1 de ago. de 2000 · Manifold:Space hinges on radiowave transmission teleportation. So, while a traveler subjectively can travel say 12,000 light years in an instant, his objective round-trip will be the actual 24,000 years later on Earth's/humanity's timeline.
Fueled by an insatiable curiosity, Reid Malenfant ventures to the far edge of the solar system, where he discovers a strange artifact left behind by an alien civilization: A gateway that functions as a kind of quantum transporter, allowing virtually instantaneous travel over the vast distances of interstellar space.
Hace 2 días · The basic example of a manifold is Euclidean space, and many of its properties carry over to manifolds. In addition, any smooth boundary of a subset of Euclidean space, like the circle or the sphere, is a manifold. Manifolds are therefore of interest in the study of geometry, topology, and analysis.
1 Manifolds: definitions and examples. Loosely manifolds are topological spaces that look locally like Euclidean space. A little more precisely it is a space together with a way of identifying it locally with a Euclidean space which is compatible on overlaps. To formalize this we need the following notions.
1 de feb. de 2001 · Stephen Baxter follows up his Arthur C. Clarke Award nominee Manifold: Time with the second book in the Manifold series, Manifold: Space. In this novel, former shuttle pilot and astronaut Reid Malenfant meets his destiny once again in a tale that stretches the bounds of both space and time.
