I'd rather call the slingshot effect a "remaining mobile while accelerating the universe" effect. As the closest possible term.
IT creates the impression of the universe being "wound up tight" and then "released" like a slingshot but not actually moving in it. I Think. Just incase someone was wondering why its not a slingshot but it is a slingshot, as per my view, dunno if its true.
Edit: would fit with Ra's later reply about Dons view of 90' angle, because its not an actual angle in space. Best exaple i can think of in terms of visuals is goku or someoen from some anime doing that "power buildup thing". I think thats kind of what it would be like?
Have a black hole behind you very close that you accelerate away from near the speed of light for a very short jump and the black hole is attached to your ship so that its sort of that it is all the points except the very point in front of you because you are creating so much energy that space dialates (my working theory is that if you as a actual complex observer accelerate to the speed of light what you would observe is all external things falling away one by one as layers as the "energy" is unable to maintain as your "vibration" (speed/travel through time) is increased.
So it would be like a instant of "near death" zooming and then jumping into a point in the opposite end of the universe by a kind of ftl zoom but slinging it so that they do it by "gravity" (attraction to the point or away from the point" while others do it by thinking of "its all one point so moving one iota is enough if someone is observing that iota from another space/time or time/space and manipulating my space/time or time/space)
So slingshot is kind of like gathering an immense amount of energy in the interior of the tesseract and releasing it in one huge burst into the exterior of the tesseract in a specific way. ITs kind of like the difference between telekinesis and asking your friend to pass you the salt, in terms of how energy efficient it is? Could once again be superwrong and i hope all taht i say is taken with a massive grain of salt.
