ummm..they knot
its not that complicated haha
tie a knot in a rope the ropes shorter with a fater knot
tie 10000000 knits in the rope and the ropes 1/4 the length it was
ok science dictates that the shortest distance betweeen 2 points is a line
take that line and turn t into a chaotic crumpled gumble and you defy science in a way the shortest distance between root and tip to is still a line as defined by a dread but a crumpling of the hair as defined by the line of the hair
if you read scifi its wormwhole theory the distance between the alpha and gama quadrant (who ever thought id use start treck ds9 as a dreading examle) is compressed to a shorter distance by increased graviton waves between point a and b these can be concidered knotting of subspace
damn u really had to ask for the science behind knotting?
ok take a string easure it then "dreadball" it crumple it up into a ball isnt it shrter now?
soorry just havin lil fun with explaining such a simple concept
