"A thousand kilometers reduced to a hundred kilometers?"
"That makes sense!"
"If space itself has shrunk, there are two possibilities, one is space folding, and the other is spatial compression."
Zhao Yi continued to ponder.
It wasn't that he was indulging in baseless fantasy but that he was trying to understand a multitude of complex equations from the perspective of space folding or spatial compression.
The problem encountered in previous research was that space absorbed the energy of the Z-wave without any apparent effect; the energy seemed to vanish into thin air.
Could such manifestations be space undergoing folding or compression?
Viewing it from this angle, he found that some of the mysteries in the equations unraveled.
"We can hypothesize that the effect of the Z-wave is to cause space to fold or compress. Whether it's folding or compressing, both actions reduce the three-dimensional expression of space...."
