This invention is critical in the continued expansion of nations and human settlements. The Dynmap also plays a huge role in monitoring conflicts - everyone has access to movements of other people on the surface, (the only exception is invisibility potion utilization). | This invention is critical in the continued expansion of nations and human settlements.

Three layers of bedrock, a nigh indestructible material can be found throughout the environments available to research. First and foremost is the layer at the base of Terra Nova's geological '''surface''' layer, but two more can be found at the nether's ceiling and bottom. Logically, these layers of bedrock could be attributed to one another, but numerous problems arise from this notion. | Three layers of bedrock, a nigh indestructible material can be found throughout the environments available to research.

# The nether and Terra Nova surface are connected, but exist as two separate spheres, one contained within the other. A void occupies the space between the roof of the nether and the base of Terra Nova's surface.

=== | === Pacific Gap === | ||
When you go to "edge" of dynmap you will see... well just the edge. So how can Earth be round? When satelites like Baltica were photographing Terra, they recorded a black gap on Pacific Ocean (also, Kazakhstan captured it too but they thought that its camera mistake so they deleted it) It stretches form pole to pole. It streches into the core of the planet (it cuts nether in half). Here, air from Groundsphere comes into the ground (and (if theory 1 concept 2 were true) this would explain why you can see the sky in the void). | When you go to "edge" of dynmap you will see... well just the edge.

If you happen to fall in the hole, the air will push you towards Africa, the grographical center of the world. The air carries you at a rate so fast you barely notice it. This is the same concept when you do "/t spawn" or "/n spawn". This would also explain why when you "teleport" it appears like you are falling through the sky. | If you happen to fall in the hole, the air will push you towards Africa, the grographical center of the world.

=== | === Polar holes === | ||
If you go to either of the poles, the same thing will happen - you will see a giant gap. It feels like the gap goes on left and right, but you are actually just going in a circle. Light refraction (due to air passing in) warps your perspective of space, and the hole being big itself helps this illusion. When the holes and gap meet, it looks like a corner. This is because the hole's curvature makes it look like a 90 degree angle. | [[File:North hole of the world.png|thumb|The northern hole]] | ||
