Xanthurion2 Posted July 26, 2013 #26 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I think it's possible. Maybe not in this exact manner but it's worth a shot. Eventually humans will travel in space, unless of course the world ends before then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually humans will travel in space, unless of course the world ends before then. So do a few Theoretical Physisists. They think that space can actually be "bent" by warm power and that is how one can get across great distances with a warp drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asadora Posted July 29, 2013 #30 Share Posted July 29, 2013 There is no question that eventually we will make reality what may be currently our fantasies. We are Humans. We strive to aspire to conquer that which may seem impossible. Why do we do this? Because it is in our nature. We imagine. We contemplate. We discuss. We put together a plan. We hope the plan works. When it doesn't, we try again... eventually.. something amazing does happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antilles Posted July 30, 2013 #32 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Obviously, there are a lot of people who don't realise Star Trek was a tv series and movie franchise. I'd just love to tell whoever's driving to go to warp whatever. But considering the best we've got at the moment is an unfinished space platform, let's leave warp drive where it exists. In the imagination. And if anyone's got proof it exists right now and works, let's see the vid. Because I'm figuring no-one will be able to furnish the proof.

StarMountainKid Posted July 30, 2013 #33 Share Posted July 30, 2013 The other good thing about this technique is that the occupants of the ship would not experience time dilation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoods_ninja Posted August 1, 2013 #34 Share Posted August 1, 2013 OK. yea this is a very old idea. what is new is this Guy believes he has the power requirements down to the point we can actually do it. originally the power needed to warp a spaceship would have been a reactive mass the size of Jupiter this Guy thinks he has got it down to the size of a volvo by modulateing the field and also tweaking it's shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're forgetting something very important... imagination is the very key needed to unlock further progress - without it, our lovely scientists wouldn't do anything, they would have no vision to strive for, not even a faint idea of what they may want to research and focus on, nothing, nada, zilch. Imagination is what is the most important piece of a puzzle. And since you're on this topic, look around you, take a goooood hard look around you - and now read some sci-fi fantasy books from 80~100 years ago or more... nearly everything around us now is someone elses "imaginary" idea from decades passed, the metals we use, plastics, lasers, portable computers... heck, computers alone! the very concept of a microchip in nearly every electronic device around you was an "incredulous, blasphemous science fantasy and a total waste of time" to some just few decades ago, and merely a concept of imagination to others... and yet - here we are So don't dismiss warp drive just because it was in star trek... submarines were on same shelf when Jules Verne wrote about Nautilus ... think about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skookum Posted August 8, 2013 #36 Share Posted August 8, 2013 70 years ago many believed achieving the speed of sound was impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie_Dwarf Posted August 8, 2013 #37 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) 70 years ago many believed achieving the speed of sound was impossible. No they didn't. They knew it was a difficult technological challenge but they knew it was possible because bullets were traveling supersonic then as they are now. In fact 70 years ago the first V2 test flights had occured and that was capable of more than 3,500mph.

DONTEATUS Posted August 8, 2013 #38 Share Posted August 8, 2013 But you have to admit ? The Imagination is truly What starts the process to get to Warp Drive ! I would wager that If we dont Fry on this planet,and make it past the next 100 years,We have quite a good chance to break that limit. Whats really amazing Is then in another 500 years Who Knows what Universes we may twist to do our Exploration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chooky88 Posted August 12, 2013 #39 Share Posted August 12, 2013 FTL drive is great but is anyone also working on artificial gravity?

bassai26 Posted August 15, 2013 #42 Share Posted August 15, 2013 . not faster Kwin, but stronger..... yep light is made up of particles and particles are matters which attracts to gravitational pull... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie_Dwarf Posted August 15, 2013 #43 Share Posted August 15, 2013 yep light is made up of particles and particles are matters which attracts to gravitational pull... No, light is both a wave and particles. Photons, however, are not matter. Matter has mass, photons have no mass. Light is affected by gravity because, in Einstein's model, mass bends space time, hence deflecting the path of the photons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspie_Dwarf Posted August 15, 2013 #45 Share Posted August 15, 2013 FTL drive is great but is anyone also working on artificial gravity? Well firstly this isn't FTL, it's a way around the fact that faster than light travel is impossible according to current understanding. This would provide a kind of short cut, without ever breaking the laws of nature. As for artificial gravity, I think we would need to understand how gravity works a little better before we progress to a Star Trek like artificial gravity. Rotating space ships are the best solution for the time being. Personally when it comes to science I think anything is possible (with exception of a retrospective time machine) Anything within the laws of nature is possible. If the laws of nature forbid something then we will never be able to achieve it. Human judges can show mercy. But against the laws of nature, there is no appeal. - Arthur C.
