“Hyperspace is in a way regular old space, but imagined as […] a thing with specific characteristics, not just a blank slate. Space is supposed to be what contains all other phenomena. Space itself isn't different from other phenomena such as planets and people […] That means it's not omnipresent, and that omniscience and omnipotence are therefore impossible. Space isn't evenly always the same. It has contours. It is creamy. The way hyperspace is visualized as kind of roaring blue and white pearlescent ocean is a wonderful sign of real political, intellectual and artistic progress. The creamy phenomenology of hyperspace means that space is palpable, […] It's not a scary infinite mouth at all. It's not swallowing everything and being ontologically bigger than everything. It's a swirl with blobs […].
