but when they do those planetary jumps with the galactica IIRC it looks like a bunch of air is being displaced away from the ship, not being integrated into it.
do you think its just around the hull? so the air pressure inside doubles?
it would also fill any weld voids in the hull so it would get 'atmospheric air' imbritlement ?
the whole idea of it being hollow complicates things.
so air molecules that are already there can join gas pockets etc, but if there is a solid object the air is displaced around it? do all solid objects materialize from the center and appear outwards (mechanism of expansion?)
if its fast then the air would like make a explosive pressure front ?
like say its plate armor is 2 feet thick, that means a its like a infinitely thin plunger appearing inside the air and expanding outwards at some insane velocity, so I think that air would get really hot
imagine a 2x2 cube of steel plate, so it would form initially as some kind of single atom layer with 1 foot of air on each side that expands outwards, displacing air really fast. I think it would blow up if it worked that way. Like if you imagine it getting thicker and thicker 1 atom layer at a time. so if you displace 2 cubic feet of air nearly instantaneously won't that be like detonating explosives?
i mean if you get yourself a 2x2 foot sheet metal segment and wave it around like a fan, it moves quite a bit of air and you can probobly knock small objects over (like a Styrofoam cup). Imagine that at high speed
i think this needs another explanation because I think it would frag the people in the ship if it worked that way.
i think adama would ablate or something if he just expanded from 2d into 3x like that, then he would get torn apart by a shockwave generated from the hull materializing, so it would be like exploding plasma man I think
is it any different then painting the walls with high explosives??
