I’ve been a fan of Dragon Ball ever since I was a kid. One aspect of Dragon Ball that has always captivated me is the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. While it may appear as a fantastical concept within a fictional story, the intriguing notion of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber can actually find relevance in the real world.

The Hyperbolic Time Chamber (精神と時の部屋 Seishin to Toki no Heya, lit. “Room of Spirit and Time”) is a mysterious dimension that exists outside of Universe 7 but can be accessed from the universe via different doorways. Each chamber has a time-compressed nature, making the flow of time vastly different compared to the flow of time outside of the chamber.

It is a separate dimension from that of Earth. There is no night or day in the Room, but the surroundings remain a constant bright iridescent white aurora. Its reflective floor is of undefined area, and the Room’s boundaries are thought to stretch to infinity in all directions even though it appears to have a definite atmosphere, limiting its size to about that of the Earth. Those talking in the chamber have an echo in their voices akin to when a character thinks a word, rather than says it aloud. However, there are no solid objects other than the entrance for the sound waves to bounce off of.

The Hyperbolic Time Chamber has an entrance at its center, located in a central building with two side wings with housing, food supplies, bathing quarters and sleeping quarters. There are dual giant hourglasses of emerald sand adorning the sides of the building that count down a year within the chamber. A clock on the dome roof of the main part of the building tells the applicable time in the real world. The wooden door entrance is a portal between the Earth and the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and is the only way to travel to the pocket dimension without ripping holes in the dimensional walls.

When using the entryway to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber through The Lookout on Earth, one year inside the chamber is the equivalent to one day on the outside. A step over the threshold of the training area brings one immediately into ten times Earth’s gravity (the same as that of Planet Vegeta, Planet Zoon, and King Kai’s Planet). The air thickness is about a quarter of Earth’s and the temperature fluctuates the deeper one goes into the training area.

When using the Earth entry, time passes 365.24 times faster in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber than in the real world, making one day outside the chamber equal to 365.24 days within it (one solar year).

I know some terms might be confusing for you if you're not a Dragon Ball Fan. It’s okay.

What I want you to do is focus on the Bold texts.

One year inside the chamber equals to one day on the outside world.

This in particular caught my attention when I first saw it in dragon ball.

Just imagine on how you can apply this to your life. Think of the chamber as your room or any place you spend most of the time in where you focus on yourself.

I will clarify this further using a famous quote from a mind that is exploding with Ideas and Creativity.

“if you do simple math, say like if somebody else is working 50 hours and you're working a 100, you’ll get twice as much done in the course of a year than the other person.” — Elon Musk

Isn’t this the Hyperbolic Time Chamber concept applied in real life…. 💡

The DBZ fans know how important it was for Goku and the team to go into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

You get destroyed by your opponents and you take time to recover and comeback x1000 times Stronger.

The Power comes in response to a need, not a desire. And you need to create that need. — Goku

I don’t like to spoon feed my audience. Hopefully you can pick up the moral of this story. See you soon. ❤
