Some ideas:
Rent it out. Think of the passive income
Take my GF and sleep a lot in there
So... Like a Pokeball for humans? ๐ค
*You can only teleport out to where you teleported in from.
Does this mean you get dropped into outer space if you stay inside for more than checks notes ~4 minutes?
No, it's relative to a more sensible object than the sun, of Sagittarius A* or whatever you were imagining. Probably something like the closest planet/moon to you is what it's actually relative to.
I'd use it as a jizz shoebox but bigger. Since you can accelerate things inside if it, you can make my 27m^3 jizz flow at terminal velocity and then I can
The amount of chaotic fuckery you do with this...
Driver tailgating me? Here, enjoy 3mยณ of ocean water, fuckface.
Some big religious event? Imagine the shitstorm that would happen if 3mยณ of locust just appeared out of nowhere!
Trump rally? Bees.
"How can I use my pocket dimension to fuck with ___" would be my new approach to pretty much every encounter for the rest of my life, lol.
This worries me a lot. Why would you want to do any of that? Write a story about that, sure. But doing it? Why? You could seriously harm and hurt people. Doesn't sound right.
Can an object be on both sides of the portal at once? Like if I ran a cable from the inside to the outside. I'm trying to work out how to handle water and sewage, because like everyone else I've concluded this is obviously a living space.
I would ask writers Game masters and gamers to use the item in their stories/games and see what uses they come up with i would never thought of on my own
Whike waiting for that to come to fruition ide look for a passable look a like to team up with.
Then i would figure out how the teleporting works. If it maintains speed/velocity/vector/momentum
test if i could jump from really high, pop into my pocket dimension just before hitting the ground cancelling out the speed i was falling when i pop out of the pocket dimension
If i can ill beat felix baumgartners records
If i cant then i would make use of the toroidal effect when popping in there after clearing the walls floor and ceiling. Longest free fall ever.
That record is now mine felix baumgartner!
Paint the walls green screen green, set up a pretty powerful PC setup (desk and chair included), set up a futon, make sure I have plenty of mood lighting, and start what I want to be a hobby of mine by recording videos while using a 3D model of my fursona without having to worry about people disturbing me.
No mention of external dimensions, so I am going to assume that it exists in the abstract since you mention teleportation. Like you just think about it and teleport there, not carry it upon your person like a portable hole in D&D.
Like others mentioned, a living space of some kind. I'd worry at first where I teleport inside, like hopefully not inside my mattress. Also, when I teleport back out, where is that? Where I teleported in? What if that gets replaced, like say I popped out while in an empty parking garage, but popped back in and a car is now parked where I left off? Might be nice if I pop back out anywhere I choose. Pop in while in New York, pop out in London.
Man, I'd save so much on rent. Or at least storage.
Yeah I was thinking it would be either a mobile home, or a Skyrim bag.
break top
break bottom
insert shit ton of rocks
set gravity to 2g for faster gravitational acceleration
I have acquired rocks that can keep falling and build up velocity forever.
live life as usual; when I'm old enough to near death, aim for anywhere within the planet with said rocks.
Assuming I fill the 3x3x3 box half to half with sandstone and air; its weight will be 33kg.
If I live for 70 years more, assuming the gravitational acceleration is 19.72 m/s^2; I can generate stones that can go up to 156.8 billion km/s (or 145 times the speed of light)
I'm pretty sure this will be enough to destroy a huge chunk of the existing universe and in the end I'll be the person to go out of the world with the biggest bang.
Well, specifics about the big bang is not known; but I'll be its closest contender if it is correct.
They wouldn't go faster than terminal velocity if you keep air in the chamber, and even if you remove it, they won't go faster than c. They'll still go pretty fast, though.
I don't think the drag force due to air would work the same in a system with such a high concentration of rocks. It's not like one object falling through undisturbed fluid, which then has to get out of the way, in this case the air would gradually start to move along with the rocks.
This might be better modelled as turbulent flow of a mixed solid/air suspension. But there's no 'edges' to the flow due to the looped dimension, so the viscous forces are pretty uniform... There would still be a terminal velocity, but much much higher than a rock falling through an atmosphere
Also I imagine the rocks would quickly grind themselves to very fine dust, once they pick up a bit of kinetic energy, so then it would behave more like a fluid with uniform density... Could it even end up as laminar flow?
Keeping the air was a mistake but I don't see why it wouldn't be able to go faster than c.
Velocity changes how time works. The faster you go, the slower it happens.
According to special relativity, the energy of an object with rest mass m and speed v is given by ฮณmc2, where ฮณ is the Lorentz factor defined above^1. [...] The ฮณ factor approaches infinity as v approaches c, and it would take an infinite amount of energy to accelerate an object with mass to the speed of light. The speed of light is the upper limit for the speeds of objects with positive rest mass[...] This is experimentally established in many tests of relativistic energy and momentum.
More generally, it is impossible for signals or energy to travel faster than c. One argument for this follows from the counter-intuitive implication of special relativity known as the relativity of simultaneity. If the spatial distance between two events A and B is greater than the time interval between them multiplied by c then there are frames of reference in which A precedes B, others in which B precedes A, and others in which they are simultaneous. As a result, if something were travelling faster than c relative to an inertial frame of reference, it would be travelling backwards in time relative to another frame, and causality would be violated. In such a frame of reference, an "effect" could be observed before its "cause". Such a violation of causality has never been recorded, and would lead to paradoxes such as the tachyonic antitelephone.
