Glossary

A glossary of Sliders terms and components.

Technical words will be added to this as I see fit.

Alternate Realities

A universe that has formed because a split in history created a different society.

Carbon copy worlds

This is a parallel world that is almost identical to your own.

Coordinates

Interdimensional points that determine a specific world or reality

Earth prime

The home Earth of any slider.

Exotic matter

This matter lines the wormhole so that people or objects can pass safely through.

Fanfic

A story line that has been written by a person who loves Sliders.

Gateway

A cosmic wormhole that forms a path to another parallel dimension.

Geographic spectrum stabilizer

A device that controls the landing area of a timer.

Hyperspace

This is the area between dimensions. The sliders fly through this tunnel every time they slide.

Interdimensional

A term describing travel between or existence of parallel universes

Parallel worlds

A universe that has formed because a split in history created a different society.

Photon trail

The mater that travels through a wormhole. This allows the sliders to track wormholes.

Physics

A science that involves mathematics, laws and dictates some of the rules of sliding.

Portal

A cosmic wormhole that forms a path to another parallel dimension.

Slider

A person who travels between parallel worlds

Timer

A device that calls up the vortex.

Time-space reentry coordinates

A set of points where one end of a wormhole is to open. Without these set correctly, objects will burn up on reentry

Torus

The doughnut shaped piece of equipment in Quinn's lab. A particle accelerator called a cyclotron.

Tyrodial codomoligy class

A scale of readings that can be read to find parallel Earth coordinates

Vortex

A cosmic wormhole that forms a path to another parallel dimension.

Wormhole

An extreme distortion of time and space that forms due to a severe gravitational force. Exotic matter lines the walls of the tunnel formed.

Z-2 dilettante embedment

This refers to the amount of parallel worlds that are possible.
