As I said, there shouldn't have been any explanation, then. There are some weird stuff in this show that we can pass off for cosmetic or awesome effect, like the Daiganzan's visible shells, sweat-drops, the green
Getter Rays spiral energy or Kittan's eyes. Those kinds of issues aren't plot-centric, they're just there to look cool.
The sea is a whole different issue, it was the focus of this episode and the writer's "logical" explanation isn't enough. Too much was explained, leaving little up to the imagination, but the explanation doesn't make much sense.

Is it really an alternate dimension, or just a place far away? The trap seemed like what an Interdictor Cruiser from
Star Wars did - used gravity well projectors to pull people out of "hyper-space" and prevent them from getting to their destination. It would seem to me Simon and the Great Gurren Gang were en route to the Anti-Spiral homeworld and got pulled into this space by the Anti-Spirals.
I like the explanation of it being an alternate world were classical and contemporary physics don't apply, but Leeron's explanation still bugs the heck out of me because he calls the area "space", but clearly it's something else because it converts spiral energy into more of the sea. It's not simply "super dense space", and even then, woudln't super dense space go solid, as in singularity? I'd imagine it to be difficult to stay in liquid form.
