Hyperspace and subspace are not the same! There are other demensions or something. Subspace bounds places in normal spece. It is full of noise and solid items cannot exist there, therefore stargate diassembles objects. Hyperspace allows FTL travelling without deintegration. Asgard core is not trackable during hyperspace flight, Ori tracked it after exitting hyperspace. (someone who have DVDs need to make sure) 83.11.23.248 15:12, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

In McKay and Mrs. Miller when Jeenie is aboard the Daedalus in hyperspace, Jeenie says to Cater "Subspace is real?", Carter replies by saying, "You're flying in it." So that kind of makes it sound like they're the same.—Anubis 10545 17:29, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
Carter knows when to dumb stuff down for people. (Besides, since Earth in the Stargate universe is supposed to be culturally identical to reality, Jeenie was probably referring to the Star Trek means of FTL: warp, which uses subspace. Carter knew not to make a big deal about Jeenie using the incorrect term, because Carter knew what Jeenie was reffering to.) Based on thier prefixes, the words are exact opposites: subspace means "undernieth" normal space and hyperspace means "above" or "beyond" normal space. See http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hyper- and http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sub-. It seems illogical to use antonymns to refer to the same thing, and I believe the creators of Stargate know this: I never remember hearing them used interchangably in the show. I do recall subspace being used to describe how a stargate functions, thus It would seem that stargates use subspace, and hyperdrive uses hyperspace. (I never remember them saying anything along the lines of "we're entering/exiting subspace". They allways say "we're entering/exiting hyperspace".) I believe this page should be update to use the correct, non-conflicting terminology. — 174.17.208.195 00:26, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

well according to this show, subspace and hyperspace r the same thing, which then makes it dumb to call them 2 different things. stargates form artificial wormholes but wormholes nonetheless. there is no subspace travel involved in using a stargate—SupremeCommander 02:41, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Stargates open an Artificial Wormhole through Subspace. —Supakillaii (talk) (Contribs) 17:40, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

why is the hyperwindow effect different in sg-1 and atlantis? —ASDF1239 DISCUSSION 06:02, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Different version of hyperdrive probably.--Paeris (talk) (Contribs) 16:19, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
More like hyperspace weather. There is no apparent reason to change color of this whatever you see when someone uses hyperdrive. --Глючарина (talk) (Contribs) 16:23, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
It's the different Effects team or something, there's no "canon reason"... —Supakillaii (talk) (Contribs) 17:40, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
Stargate recived a special effects upgrade around season 8, when SGA was fired up. The green effect was among these upgrades. Here's the point: The've always been good at reusing the animated scenes, But the already-animated green-effect scenes rarely fitted the SG1 show, while the purple ones did, and vice-versa. If you check, they use the purple effect in SGA:first strike when the apollo leaves orbit, and the green effect in SG1: Company of theives.

Watch Stargate 101 in the video called Dr. Daniel Jackson on Hyperspace he says '...hperspace, also called subspace...' and that's canonPortalier (talk) Contribs) 19:10, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

What is hyperspace in the stargate universe like, as in is it like in Babylon 5 with a whole alternate dimension or does the Stargate hyperdrives just create a tunnel or conduit type thing (maybe like transwarp or silpstream of Star Trek) through/of hyperspace that their ships than travel through ? 80.254.146.140 11:26, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

Well, in Stargate 101, in the hyperspace video, hyperspace is described as "...an other dimension where certain laws of physisc like the speed of light or the effect of relativity don't apply." Got it?Portalier (talk) (Contribs) 17:47, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

Is it possible to steer (turn direction) in Hyperspace? And in FTL?
