What Would Hyperspace Travel Really Look Like?

From the article (which tries to claim that the image of the universe seen in the Millenium Falcon when it makes the jump to lightspeed is wrong):

There would be no sign of stars because of the Doppler effect - the same effect which causes the siren of an ambulance to become higher in pitch as it comes towards you. Doppler blue shift is a phenomenon caused by a source of electromagnetic radiation - including visible light - moving towards an observer. The effect means that the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation will be shortened. From the Millennium Falcon crew's point of view, the wavelength of the light from stars will decrease and 'shift' out of the visible spectrum into the X-ray range. They would simply see a central disc of bright light as Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation is shifted into the visible spectrum. Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation is radiation left behind from the Big Bang, and is spread across the universe fairly uniformly.

This is really stupid. Stars emit in the microwave region, too. In fact, stars emit more energy in the microwave region than the CMB emits; that's part of the physics of black body radiation. (As I recall, you don't see stars in the CMB maps because the antenna pattern is too large to resolve stars.) So while the CMB would conceivably doppler-shift into the visible region and be 'visible' it would still be far dimmer than the microwave energy coming from stars that would, likewise, become visible.

Here's plot of Planck's Blackbody Radiation Law for different temperatures. For cooler blackbodies the intensity peak shifts towards longer wavelengths, but still, at all wavelengths a hotter blackbody produces more energy.

I remember playing basketball and turning for a pass. The ball arrived at the same time I turned and broke my nose. The stars were wonderful in that instant moment. I wonder how a starship going some small fraction of the speed of light would detect small objects that may be found in the vast regions of so called emptiness. What sort of detection would they use and how far ahead would an alarm have to activate so they could make evasive maneuvers? Even a small object can cause catastrophic damage and there is no where to pull over for the repair. What would be used to detect such object, radar, photon energy blasts, etc? The objects could be very small yet lethal. What sort of shield would then be required to deflect unseen objects at hyperspeed? Too many questions and more science will be needed to resolve any space travel or hope of space travel that would be safe.

However, the earth is a space ship with a magnetosphere and an atmosphere. Maybe we just put huge rockets on one side and blast it out of orbit when our sun starts to die. Dig huge caverns and tunnels to live in, grow food etc and take advantage of geothermal energy to keep warm , grow food, make oxygen, and power earth. Heck, I can speculate but hyperspeed is still not possible. By living underground, all we will see are the walls of the tunnels. I can wait.

What really bakes folks' noodles is that, to an ordinary photon travelling in free space, it experiences neither space nor time. Think about it.
