This is pretty cool, but what would happen if you were to lay a cable over it by air?

Imagine moving a string on a 2D surface that has a sinkhole in it perpendicularly towards the hole (the string may not leave the surface at any point). It would either vanish into the hole, or get torn into 2 pieces.
To the author: I read that you weren't too happy about it, and I'm wondering if perhaps I could be given permission to lend my talents in a re-write.
Not bad; I question why using it as storage for mobile SCPs is a good idea, if the region causes psychological unrest? I like it, though. Just vague enough to be creepy, although the physics bit at the end seemed a little juxtaposed - creepy, lifeless, bigger-on-the-inside forest, then its a hypercube.
This concept has been done better by other articles on site. Paradise falls is superior.
paradise falls is a mobile entity guarded by whatever it creates. this is a cold, desolate, lifeless forest. That stretches, forever.

I haven't read this one in a while… Since it appears that teams can be extracted by air, I wonder if it would be possible to reach the center of the phenomenon by air.
Giving bearhugs to the unsuspecting since 1872.
The issue with reaching the center of the anomaly by air would be, theoretically, that if you were to air-drop something from above the area of effect it would begin the "infinite space" plunge, and be going down for a long, long, long time…. That, or be stuck so deep in the forest that their grandchildrens' grandchildren would be carving vengeful slurs into the bark of trees that nobody else would ever see.
Well it sounds like there would be enough dead material to burn to start a signal fire, but I also get the idea that whatever they did to signal a rescue should not be attempted again.
Didn't realize that I'd not upvoted this yet. I've always thought that the implication that we actually caused this at some point in the future by putting all these random SCPs there was a very nice stealth tactic from this article. If more heavily implied, could easily be an object lesson for not cross referencing.

I don't really see this implication, but I like that idea. Though it makes the article's internal logic a little confusing…
Well, if I remember the theoretical physics class correctly (and I very well may not, so someone with more physics knowledge get in here and tell me I'm wrong), a Cabili-Yau manifold also warps time, so if it exists, it could have come into existence at any point in the past or at any point in the future, and still exist. If I remember correctly.

Ahh, alright.
I suppose that does make sense, because otherwise the article fails logically because the Foundation wants to store SCPs there. In an SCP. In a really weird and freaky SCP. That would be incredibly stupid, unless they have to do it to prevent a paradox or something.
I always imagined it as something like this: http://tinyurl.com/5u3r35o. Basically, a space with a fixed perimeter but an infinite area and diameter (in both directions). This only works up to a certain height, after which it goes back to normal, which is why it looks different from above, and why they can do air rescues but they can't leave by foot.
On a completely unrelated note, I <3 Escher.

How would one describe that? Inwardly fractal? In any case, I like it- it's simple in form, like a sinkhole, yet enough to be both interesting and hazardous. That, and things with four or more dimensions still hold a level of novelty with me, I think. Negative Space Wedgies are par for the course at the Foundation.

Awesome is how you would describe it.

I love these "Lost World" SCPs (of which I have only found 2; This and scp-1165) where an area looks perfectly normal to the on first sight but ends up occupying a completely separate spacial plain than its surrounding area.
That said; Where did the evac team end up locating the team within it when they were airlifted out of there? The forest looks completely normal from above, but the research team could have been several miles into the spacial anomaly. Did the helicopter spot them standing in the middle of the forest?
