Well it wouldnt be too far from the truth, i mean astronauts have that issue when they see the earth from space, not including the fact that legends are based on a grain of truth.
A lot of Lunacy is based on menstrual cycles, that and people being more willing to do stupid things at night where they can see by a full moon. So there is some truth to lunacy. But its mostly sexism and ignorance.
a glance at the warp drives most people to madness, Han looks out a window somewhat casually at the lines before going back to the game room with his big hairy nudist friend after getting the calculations done.
I mean, the Warp is not just mysterious and negative, but actively hostile. Hyperspace leads to bad things happening to you, but this is a result of happenstance. The Warp is populated by Gods and has been twisted by emotions so much that it's literally out to get you.
No it's not as bad as the warp but that's mainly because most star wars ships have defenses against the things that hyperspace can do. The reason why it doesn't seem as bad is star war has a lot of mechanisms in place that limit what hyperspace can to do em. For instance they have shields that negate time anomalies and such and without them you would travel forwards and backwards through time while in hyperspace. One time in the EU a guy turned off these shields or they were damaged somehow before going into hyperspace don't quite remember but he went forward in time like several hundred years into the future and was only in hyperspace for a few minutes. But if you read that book that Eck was talking about then that changes things and it does look and seem as bad as the warp lol.
I think hyperspace madness was an abandoned concept. It doesn't mesh with the movie cannon, nor was it mentioned AFAIK. I don't think it fits into the SW universe given the frequency of hyperspace travel. If it strains the eyes so nothing more than a few hours of watching it can cause headaches, that's one thing. But full-blown madness, not buying it.
Well its probably akin to being stuck at sea for too long. People going mad on ships after extended sea travel is very well documented throughout history. I don't know if it's a Lovecraftian thing at work here, but I can't imagine staring at the spirals of Hyperspace for very long would do you any favors
If hyperspace madness was really a thing don't you think they would have had shields to cover the X-Wing cockpit since they go through hyperspace or any of the other small fighters or the falcon or any of millions of other ships with no window covers
It really does seem off for starwars doesn't it? then again things like Aboleth just don't really quite add up in that universe. The problem with starwars lore is that since the entire thing kept getting retconned with each new movie (the jedi being an ancient myth of the past in 4 but actually it was just 20 years ago) and so on and with all the non cannon stuff. it leaves the universe with a very odd feel. But open to a lot of personal interpretation
Looking at and trying to understand anything from Disney that's not a child's cartoon for too long will cause madness... an probably intense irritation and possibly anger
This actually reminds me of an actual mental condition , brought about by a lack of stimulus. That happens to people who are locked in a room with nothing to interact with.
antwan1357 Yes! Most beings probably would get bored, but the military and pilots and etc. would have good reason to black out the transparisteel just to improve efficiency.
@Joshua Sharwood .... He's talking about a room filled with absolutely nothing, no sounds, no smell, no objects, just your eyes staring at 4 walls. Best you can interact with in that situation is scratching the wall or hitting your head agaisnt it. During the so called ''quarantine'' you can still play ball in your backyard, read a book, listen to a song, make food. Can you not? People will get mental illnesses because they are addicted to entertainment and godless, and can't live 2 days without checking on their phones or going out to some routine.
Maybe hyper space is some sort of manifestation of the force that binds all things together, not just living beings but the galaxy itself, and that force ghosts spirits may actually travel using hyperspace?
It could be the very boarder between The Force and reality. And when you travel through it the blue lights of bending "stars" might actually be every spirit that's died and to be born. Wow, that's deep af !
So if your hyperdrive fails while you're in hyperspace, you get stuck there? This adds a whole new dimension of horror to every Star Wars film. The Millenium Falcon's hyperdrive is famously unreliable. It literally fails to work about HALF the times they try to use it. So now they're basically telling us that every time they use it, they have a 50/50 chance of being stranded forever and then going insane in hyperspace?
Could you please cover the strange creatures of hyperspace or deep space, such as the starweird. I know there is not a lot of info on those creatures but i could make for a good short filler video.

Since i first read X-Wing The Krytos Trap i always wondered: How thick ist the City-Layer of Coruscant? Did they hide the Lusankya solely in the City-Layer or did the need to drill into the Crust? Even with the "old lenght" of an Executor Class it's quite a impressive task how difficult it is for us humans to drill a Hole 8km into the Crust, far from an up to 19km deep an over 6km wide "Hole" #askeck
iirc the explanation for hyperspace travel in Stargate, which is functionally and visually the same as Star Wars, the hyperspace generator punches a hole into subspace and creates a pocket of normal space inside for the ship to travel in. Sub space regions are associated with a kind of wavelength or something where some regions have different properties. Some bleed into normal space, some can have an effect on normal space through manipulation (kinda like warp drive), and some are basically "smaller on the inside" with the highest power being associated with wormholes (so compact your pocket of normal space just punches back into normal space at your destination). The last type is the kind used for faster than light travel, with smaller dimensions getting where you want to be faster. The inside of your hyperspace tunnel is probably just the visual effect of the barrier of your pocket of normal space. Since normal physics don't work outside of it, nothing you see actually comes from sub space itself.
Describing the Warp as “weird and scary” is kind of an understatement if you ask me. That’s like saying that Uncle Stalin “had slight trust issues and made some people go hungry”
The issue with this matchup is that these are some very different classes of ships. While I can't speak for the Rocinante or serenity, as I'm not familiar with their respective franchises, to compare the Normandy, a frigate, or the Millenium Falcon, a freighter, to the enterprise, which would stack up as a cruiser at least in my books, would be very difficult to do.
Dune's shields may be unstable around energy weapons and on Arrakis itself where it has a tendency to make sandworms berserk- but it is the shield that had the most agency on the warfare of it's respective universe. The idea of a science fiction universe where knives and swords are at the pinnacle of martial arts is not only fairly unique but demonstrates the influence that the shields had. Other sci-fi franchises have their energy shields, but their effect on the warfare within those universes are limited- they have made nothing obsolete, one could still shoot anything at them and eventually the shield will run out of charge. I also appreciate the irony that the firearm made medieval arms and armour obsolete, but Dune's shield (which is more akin to armour than a shield) made firearms obsolete in favour of medieval warfare.

Hey Eck, I think a cool video idea would be to compare/contrast technologies that enable FTL travel (Hyperspace, slipspace, mass effect relays, warp speed, etc)

Think of how a 3d object looks when it intersects a 2d plane. Mario would probably also lose his mind if he entered 3d space.
There's two big ways I think hyper rapture could play into the starwars universe. The first is due with the connection between hyper space and other space. Perhaps those inflicted with hyper rapture accidentally glanced upon or traveled though "other space" or some lovecraftian horror within which no man was meant to see. The second would be that hyper rapture effects those who can't shield their minds and allow their minds to be consumed by the Void
@@death299 Thrawn used interdictors to capture ships coming from outside the system. I am talking jumping from Position A to B in the same system without the assistance of outside forces . Like 5 seconds of HyperSpace . Kind of like Stargate when the F302 used its unstable hyperdrive to travel just a couple of milion kilometers with the Stargate. But i guess SW HyperSpace isnt stable enough or they have too poor of an understanding for such thing to work.
A friend of mine once told me about a fanfiction of his set during the Clone Wars, centered around a Jedi who suffered from Hyper-Rapture. He interpreted it more as a state of shock induced by the sight of what no man was supposed to see. The condition would periodically temporally incapacitate him, and the story would occasionally go into the difficulties of actually avoiding the sight while fighting a war that required much hyperspace travel. On the other hand, staring into the weird dimension of space would grant the Jedi character a unique insight if he could stand it long enough, allowing him to occasionally pull off incredible feats.
That ad was actually really good, instead of fake excitedly yelling about some Cool Epic New Gaaame, you just calmy and succinctly told us about the thing in a way that didn't make my brain fog up listening to a 'salesman' voice. If I played more with a group of friends I would definitely consider purchasing it.
Rapture has nothing to do with religion, it means a (usually sudden) feeling of great euphoria/ecstasy or intense feelings of pleasure such as an orgasm.
Even in the imperium's current state they would win. They likely have a bigger fleet, the imperial guard may be worse equipped but the space marines are far superior foot soldiers, and their production capabilities are atleast on par if not superior
Hyperdrives were reverse engineered from rakatan technology, and I think there‘s a difference between knowing what works and understanding why it works
that, or someone was being theatrical, and got caught flat-footed by a logical question like yours. take a bow, and Eckhart cut the theater, at least on this one! in general, you Rock, though.
It sounds like Star Wars Expanded Universe authors swiped this concept from Larry Niven, who described hyperspace as looking like the blind-spot in the middle of your vision that you only notice when you know you should be able to see something but you can't. In one story, the outer hull of a spaceship disintegrates, leaving the crew standing on the deck in spacesuits trying desperately to avoid looking at the hyperspace passing all around them, because they would basically go catatonic from having their entire vision filled with "blind-spot".
The links at the bottom of the screen are very intrusive, I think it'd be better to have them show at the beginning and end of the video only. Interesting topic and well made video otherwise :D
I don't like how the visuals and sounds of hyperspace have changed. In the clone wars it seemed peaceful and simialr to water. It seemed relaxing. In the new films it seems fast and action-y and in your face
This is it. This is officially the FIRST GOD DAMN TIME that a sponsored video got me interested in something. Not just lame and generic brilliant and all that shit, but actually something that is _interesting._
Larry Niven did it in his Known Space universe (with the Ringworld, Kzinti and all). Quote from Wikipedia: One phenomenon travellers in hyperspace can experience is the so-called 'blind spot' should they look through a porthole or camera screen, giving the impression that the walls around the porthole or sides of the camera view screen are expanding to 'cover up the outside'. The phenomenon is the result of hyperspace being so fundamentally different from 'normal/Einstein' space that a traveller's senses can not truly comprehend it, and instead the observer 'sees' a form of nothingness that can be hypnotic and dangerous. Staring too long into the 'blind' spot can be insanity inducing, so as a precaution all view ports on ships are blinded when a ship enters hyperspace.
Not star wars related but the 4th time I did mushrooms, I thought I went mad but it was the mild-temperature water that made my badtrip into a good one. Btw the only reason I was badtripping was because there was a heatwave and like a couple of smart fellas, we ate em

Patrick Nagle but it was a 3D mario not a 2D mario.
Ever read "Flatland" by Edwin A. Abbot?
It's possible that hyperspace madness was a form of epilepsy that a few sentient organisms were prone to giving into.

Leave my boi Raynar Thul out of this. lol
Ah I see we have another man of culture
Yo, I thought the same thing. I first thought it was a video about him before I actually read.
Raynar Thul is kinda like an expanded version of my name
By far one of the coolest things I've heard of in the star wars universe
Starship versus: Harrower class Dreadnaught vs Victory class Star Destroyer
You used a very cool art of the Dead Space brethren moon, still one of my favorite creepy space things ever ^^ 5:03
Replicators vs a Unified Star Wars universe (444th try now, *_I._** WILL NEEEEVER EEEVER GIVE UP!!!)*
There's two big ways I think hyper rapture could play into the starwars universe. The first is due with the connection between hyper space and other space. Perhaps those inflicted with hyper rapture accidentally glanced upon or traveled though "other space" or some lovecraftian horror within which no man was meant to see. The second would be that hyper rapture effects those who can't shield their minds and allow their minds to be consumed by the Void

This topic isn't talked about a lot, so I'm glad you are visiting this once again.
Is there such thing as Tactical HyperSpace jump?Meaning staying long enough just to travel a couple light minutes or hours. #askeck
Technically yes...thrawn used it effectively
But for most pilots..even exceptional ones doing so is death
@@death299 Thrawn used interdictors to capture ships coming from outside the system.
I am talking jumping from Position A to B in the same system without the assistance of outside forces . Like 5 seconds of HyperSpace . Kind of like Stargate when the F302 used its unstable hyperdrive to travel just a couple of milion kilometers with the Stargate.
But i guess SW HyperSpace isnt stable enough or they have too poor of an understanding for such thing to work.
@@BattleUnit3 ..again
Yes thrawn used micro jumps
And it's not a lack of understanding, jumping outside of the lanes is dangerous.
A friend of mine once told me about a fanfiction of his set during the Clone Wars, centered around a Jedi who suffered from Hyper-Rapture. He interpreted it more as a state of shock induced by the sight of what no man was supposed to see. The condition would periodically temporally incapacitate him, and the story would occasionally go into the difficulties of actually avoiding the sight while fighting a war that required much hyperspace travel. On the other hand, staring into the weird dimension of space would grant the Jedi character a unique insight if he could stand it long enough, allowing him to occasionally pull off incredible feats.
Warhammer: That’s cute.
I really love this more esoteric, cosmic fantasy side of Star Wars. I find it so interesting and it really sets SW apart from other Sci-fi series.
Same
Could the First Order in Starkiller base defend themselvs from a 300 meter tall Godzilla Earth?
Note: Godzilla Earth is in Starkiller base
I feel like they COULD, if they had enough star destroyers in close orbit.
Otherspace and all these other places outside the galaxy fascinate me. What could possibly be out there?
I feel the hyperspace overtaking me!
It is a good pain!
To quote Ren from Ren & Stimpy:
"It is I who am not crazy! IT IS I WHO AM MADDDD!!!"
Can ships slow to subluminal speeds or even to a stop while in hyperspace, without falling back into realspace?
No, to enter hyperspace you must accelerate beyond light speed, any slower and you're no longer in hyperspace
That ad was actually really good, instead of fake excitedly yelling about some Cool Epic New Gaaame, you just calmy and succinctly told us about the thing in a way that didn't make my brain fog up listening to a 'salesman' voice. If I played more with a group of friends I would definitely consider purchasing it.
Warp Sickness from Warhammer 40K?
Love the new outro, makes me smile every time
Wait wait wait, why is it called hyper Rapture? Is it devine? #askeck
"divine" And no it's not.
Probably named along the same thinking as “Rapture of the Deep”, a.k.a. Nitrogen Narcosis, when divers get high off of the very air they breathe
Rapture has nothing to do with religion, it means a (usually sudden) feeling of great euphoria/ecstasy or intense feelings of pleasure such as an orgasm.
I can imagine it’s the same as being at sea for a long time. Seeing nothing but water and all directions.
*Attempt 348*
Do the Forerunners vs The Imperium of Man (Halo vs Warhammer 40k) please.
The imperium would win because it faces much worse than the forerunners and thats while stuck in a dark age.
Depends really
When?
Where?
Why?
(The Why is obvious)
@@princesstinklepanties2720
Proof?
Even in the imperium's current state they would win. They likely have a bigger fleet, the imperial guard may be worse equipped but the space marines are far superior foot soldiers, and their production capabilities are atleast on par if not superior
@@chunkblaster
Do you not know how powerful the Forerunners truly are?
I think its great to get a good sponsor for a video and I think most people don't even care that you accepted the offer.
#AskEck you checked out destiny 2 lore, there is a lot of depth to the universe
This is madness! THIS IS ECKHART!
Christopher Murphy no this is patrick
If no one understands how hyperdrives work, how did anyone manage to build one in the first place?
Hyperdrives were reverse engineered from rakatan technology, and I think there‘s a difference between knowing what works and understanding why it works
that, or someone was being theatrical, and got caught flat-footed by a logical question like yours.
take a bow, and Eckhart cut the theater, at least on this one! in general, you Rock, though.
It sounds like Star Wars Expanded Universe authors swiped this concept from Larry Niven, who described hyperspace as looking like the blind-spot in the middle of your vision that you only notice when you know you should be able to see something but you can't. In one story, the outer hull of a spaceship disintegrates, leaving the crew standing on the deck in spacesuits trying desperately to avoid looking at the hyperspace passing all around them, because they would basically go catatonic from having their entire vision filled with "blind-spot".
Beowulf Shaffer was one of the unusual people who would not go crazy from the blind spot. Still, he focused his attention on the instruments.

Do the Forerunners vs The Imperium of Man (Halo vs Warhammer 40k) please.
good one
You can't do it multiple times per video, man.
@@sand0decker
Well the truth is I can.
As you can see I'm taking it to the next level beyond even what "Ya Boi Daniel" did.
I'm that determined.
Forerunners win
Seeing you play with the dogo gave me a chuckle
Ekharts Ladder, please tell me how many planets and people there are in the Star Wars galaxy, the web results are inconsistent and make no sense, HELP
The Derpy Squid Broadcast
I don‘t think anyone knows because both the number of planets and the number of people are way too high
I love how the most replayed part of the video is the Retrowave Corgi part.
The links at the bottom of the screen are very intrusive, I think it'd be better to have them show at the beginning and end of the video only.
Interesting topic and well made video otherwise :D
I don't like how the visuals and sounds of hyperspace have changed. In the clone wars it seemed peaceful and simialr to water. It seemed relaxing. In the new films it seems fast and action-y and in your face
#askeck What about "phantomspace," or whatever that realm was in The Force Awakens?
Where?
This is it.
This is officially the FIRST GOD DAMN TIME that a sponsored video got me interested in something.
Not just lame and generic brilliant and all that shit, but actually something that is _interesting._
I feel like this isn't canon or else every pilot that flies an FTL Starfighter would have it
Hyperspace madness sounds like some crazy new dubstep

Good video, enjoying your content broski.
Mmmm yes daddy give me more lovecraftian horrors.
DON'T SUDUCE THE LOVECRAFTIAN MONSTERS
Larry Niven did it in his Known Space universe (with the Ringworld, Kzinti and all). Quote from Wikipedia:
One phenomenon travellers in hyperspace can experience is the so-called 'blind spot' should they look through a porthole or camera screen, giving the impression that the walls around the porthole or sides of the camera view screen are expanding to 'cover up the outside'. The phenomenon is the result of hyperspace being so fundamentally different from 'normal/Einstein' space that a traveller's senses can not truly comprehend it, and instead the observer 'sees' a form of nothingness that can be hypnotic and dangerous. Staring too long into the 'blind' spot can be insanity inducing, so as a precaution all view ports on ships are blinded when a ship enters hyperspace.

Not star wars related but the 4th time I did mushrooms, I thought I went mad but it was the mild-temperature water that made my badtrip into a good one. Btw the only reason I was badtripping was because there was a heatwave and like a couple of smart fellas, we ate em
I’m oof
Probably something like what people experience out at sea in the doldrums, or the desert, sunny snowy arctic areas, or pilots getting tunnel vision.
Best repedative comment requesting a comparison between various franchises gear.
Wow that is scary. Great video
Plus 1 million points for referencing the Arhul Hextrophon works XD
Makes sense I've heard of similar madness supposedly being experienced by sailors looking into the ocean for too long or people crossing barren landscapes like desserts.
