NASA waste, waste, big time waste. Where's my holodeck?!? I want my holodeck!! Naow! btw the gizmodo article left out cell phones. Sacrilege! At least NASA isn't throwing money at an ST transporter; build a new person at the destination and demolecularize the existing one lol. That just doesn't seem right on many levels. I mean basically that is the ultimate clone machine for one thing, to just keep pushing out whatever is copied in the pattern buffers, as it's just data.
But as for warp drive, there would need to be some sort of shielding from radiation, for people and systems. The universe is quite deadly, indeed. Then you need to invent a deflector dish/navigational deflector, otherwise your ship disintegrates at the first ant it hits.
but seriously, they should be worried more about just getting into orbit at this point, or we'll need to change their name, drop the S. We give them money to thumb it into orbit now; to ride up on someone else's rocket. |

I don't think FTL communication or travel will ever be possible because it is causes paradoxes to any observers moving at different speeds. Results would occur before the trigger. Stuff like this, in this news, is interesting and definitely worth research, but there's always a "gotcha". Unless you apply wormhole mechanics. If you generate a wormhole, you travel faster to the other side than for light outside the wormhole traveling to the same destination. Light inside the wormhole still travels faster than the man or machine traveling within the wormhole.
However, a wormhole doesn't need to span the universe, but to just open a gate to subspace for travel... if we can travel in subspace since we don't really know what it is yet. imo subspace is probably full of white holes.
But for "warp drive", I think it's problematic as well, at least at high speeds. Sub-light warpdrive would still be very useful until NASA researches something important like wormhole travel and maybe cold fusion to power ships. |
