Argal Tal Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Ok I have a Theory about the Geller Field and the whole part in the book that deals with the Eye of Terror is similar to Event Horizon with its Gravity Drive. Just a Theory though, I would love to hear what you guys think Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231940-geller-field/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavulg Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 That's not really a theory. It's more of a statement. And yes, it is kinda similar. Though I assure you that the Gellar Field predates Event Horizon.

Iron Father Ferrum Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Nah, I don't think they're similar at all. The gravity drive on the Event Horizon was a "jump drive" similar to that used in BattleTech, allowing FTL travel by literally bending space-time and moving the ship from point A to point B. A geller field is a special type of energy shield that acts as a barrier to warp entities; a ship's warp drive rips a whole in space-time, allowing the vessel to translate from the Materium to the Immaterium and vice versa. The geller field just keeps all the nasties in the Immaterium out of the ship while its traveling through the warp.

Argal Tal Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 The Gravity Well drive wasn't a jump drive actually, it just bent space and time to allow them to become one. It just so happened that they were sent to an alternate dimension. I just thought that whole sequence was similar in a way to the whole first part of the PILGRIMAGE, especially Chaos from Event Horizon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231940-geller-field/#findComment-2791756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Nah it's totally Ross talking about dinosaurs and being whiny about Rachel that keeps the daemons away from your ship.

Iron_Adam Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 What I want to know is why when they are in the imaterium and the Geller field is up, clocks and chronometers are useless, what's with that?

wise_crak Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I imagine it as stargate hyperdrive Opens a window into hyperspace (to use that's the warp) meaning your not in real space and the geller field protects the ship while in this area of space Wisey :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231940-geller-field/#findComment-2795629 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblank Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 What I want to know is why when they are in the imaterium and the Geller field is up, clocks and chronometers are useless, what's with that? time does weird stuff in the warp. it's the reason why Chaos legionnaires can be 10,000 years old but only feel like a couple centuries have passed, among other things.

Khestra the Unbeheld Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 What I want to know is why when they are in the imaterium and the Geller field is up, clocks and chronometers are useless, what's with that? The Geller Field acts like a Timelock from Doctor Who: time moves as normal inside it, while everything outside it is subject to the vagarities of a place where time isn't constant. In addition, the bubble of "normal" time inside the Field is also subject to relativity between itself and the rest of "normal" time outside the Warp. Basically, your clock/chrono would have to have five hands to even hope to cope with keeping track of actual Terra time at all moments while travelling through space and through the Warp, and one of those hands would have to be insane.
