>>11117857From the perspective of an extra dimensional observer, we are flatlandians on a Möbius strip/folded ribbon. Our space ships travel along the length of the ribbon to get to any place and to us this is the full scope of reality. Even at max speed it takes some time to traverse to any area on the ribbon.
The extra dimensional space ship is a needle stabbing through the ribbon folds to get to any point instead, reducing the distance traveled to get to any point.
Black holes and other high gravity phenomenon fold the ribbon and also can pierce it.
