Is it possible to create a container that is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside?

Question

I know it sounds like science fiction, but is it even physically possible to create a container than is much bigger on the inside than it is on the outside (say something the size of a Rubix cube holding several large books).

I'm not asking if something like this exists, just if it is possible that sometime in the future this may exist. Please list your sources that you base your answers on (and please no answers like "sure, anything is possible in the future"--I want information). Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I doubt it, I'm no expert in the sciences but I'm pretty sure that certain rule of space can't be broken and having a container thats larger on the inside than it i on the inside, jsut seems like one of those rules. The stuff put inside has to go somewhere and if it can't fit based on the exterior volume, there is no where else for it to go. I guess that the only way for this to work is have large bank like corporations control indivual vaults for a product like the one you suggested, that at the bottom of the container is a teleportaion device that is directly linked to the vault, that you can put anything into and have it be transfered to your private vault, and than you can plug in what you want to retrieve nd have it sent back to the container.

Answer 2

Im pretty sure thats physically impossible. an object can only hold equal to or less than inside itself.

Answer 3

I would think that the law of the Conservation of mass would make the answer "no"...But if you consider the ramifications of a Black-Hole singularity (The one at the core, not the one at the event horizon) it seems like a plausible if not necessary possibility. How else could you explain infinite mass in a finite space?

Answer 4

Not in a three-dimensional universe.

Answer 5

im not sure, but u can always try...

Answer 6

Yes.

First you take strip the insulation from the cables running from your flux capacitor and fold them into an origami mobius strip paper crane which you then flatten. Use this to construct a box as you normally would. Glue the edges with a mixture or dark matter and fairy dust.

There ya go.

Answer 7

Yes - if the container is bigger than the half of universe

Answer 8

This is a little philosophic. What is big?

Big surface, big volume.

You can put a very big empty plastic bag into your pocket.

The volume of your pocket might be 1 litre.

The plastic bag might have 100 litres volume, and my be 3 square metres surface.

But working with solid materials, I can see no solution.
