It will be interesting to see how far they can go along this path before they run into a big mountain that needs to be overcome.
Very intrigued though

Quote:The Eagleworks team has discovered that the energy requirements are much lower than previously thought. If they optimize the warp bubble thickness and "oscillate its intensity to reduce the stiffness of space time," they would be able to reduce the amount of fuel to manageable amount: instead of a Jupiter-sized ball of exotic matter, you will only need 500 kilograms to "send a 10-meter bubble (32.8 feet) at an effective velocity of 10c."
That means for an approx. 70m-long frigate we would need about 3.500kg of exotic matter to get that Rifter warping around. Compared to a cargohold of 130m-¦ and a mass of 1 million kg that's nothing! The State will not fall. Join us. Fight. Conquer. |

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. |

Don't worry about it, the guy who founded paypal and created it, and also the biggest solar energy company in the US, Has already gotten the 1st private company launch on oct.3rd. It will be the 1st private maned flight to space.
And they are working on a plane that will be able to espace into space on it's own power, a two stage system with lots of fun new jet tech, we won't know if it'll work, but they are now sending people into space, and nasa is making a warp drive,soooo, who the kitten knows anymore! http://dl.eve-files.com/media/1206/scimi.jpg |

I am no scientist so I have no answers, but maybe our planet is super rare in the cosmos being 70% water could that have something to do with it? . I think that "alien" lifeforms is a must in a ever expanding universe with an infinite numbers of stars and planets. They may well be 1 million years more advanced than us, maybe 100 million years more advanced you never know teenagers may learn warp theory in classes at high school....
This is of course speculation on my part but I do 100% believe there is advanced races helping us move forward. |

Hydrogen and oxygen being the first and third most abundant elements respectively there are likely countless planets with a similar environment.

I think what she meant was that in or an alien to come here -- and risk being poisoned from breathing the carbon dioxide sludge we pump into the air, blown up by missile, meltdown or madman, or seeing anything but a giant galactic garbage dump -- would either be a miracle or a sign that ET needs his eyes checked. |

Perhaps, but not carbon dioxide as it is not poisonous and really, it's not even a pollutant.
Maybe you were thinking of carbon monoxide? |

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. |

From what I understand, it doesn't matter how something gets from A to B, whether its warp drive, subspace, quantum entanglement or wormholes, if it happens faster than light for one observer, then it will occur the "wrong way around" for another observer and cause a paradox.
