Interdimensional Slingshot Technology / Science in Yonderverse | World Anvil

Interdimensional Slingshot

One of the most absurd technological creations, interdimensional slingshots were a popular mode of transport across the Yonderverse, but were abandoned as safer and faster methods of transport were created.

Discovery

Interdimensional slingshots were invented almost a hundred years ago in Greenerth time. The slingshots were inveted by a man named Zino Peoairs. Zino was looking to create a mode of transport that could move harmonids across the Yonderverse in minimal time. After discovering ways of "launching" people through the cosmos at lightning speeds, he could break the space barrier and throw people through dimensional corridors, and out into the one the started in, but in a new location.

Access & Availability

Interdimensional slingshots, when they were used by many, many people who sought out vacations on District 1 planets, as these areas were popular thanks to their harmless locations and creatures, with scenic views. The slingshots were stationed worldwide, usually several located across each country, with more slingshots in more advanced countries like the Western District.

Complexity

Interdimensional slingshots are fairly complex, requiring immense power to shoot someone through dimensions and back into their home dimension while also maintaining their structural integrity. It took countless hours figuring out the physics, while physics in the Yonderverse is constantly morphing.
There was always the risk that the person using the slingshot would end up in a completely new dimension, but luckily

Forgotten Forever

Thanks to the many risks that interdimensional slingshots present, people were overjoyed when a more functional and safer method of interdimensional transport was invented. This mode of transport involved ripping a hole through the dimensions, creating a small, safe corridor to a new location in the same dimension on the other side. This might take longer to walk through, but only by a few seconds, which people are more than happy to sacrifice if it means it'll be much safer.

Unfortunately, with a new mode of instant travel, interdimensional slingshots were quickly forgotten about, they were closed down, workers sought out new jobs, and quickly the slingshots were demolished and ripped apart for any resources to reuse.
