NASA Designed a Warp Ship Inspired by Star Trek's Enterprise

a reply to: N3k9Ni

the whole model reminded me of the combining of star trek ship with a stargate.

I would rather the replicator first, dinner is always a struggle for me.....

Yea just tell the computer what you want and you get instant GMO.

I think the Alcubierre drive has serious potential since on paper it doesn't violate our understanding of physics.

Would be nice if we spent billions on that instead of ways to kill each other better.

Yes because thats really the first thing on the spending list after war, not healthcare or infrastructure or repair or schools and and and...

Agree..
Mods, you may merge the threads please...

and its even OLD news...

Yes I know, but there needs to be a way to keep the things in front of the "dip" out of it. The craft itself will remain virtually motionless while the bubble itself is what moves, but if something enters the bubble, it will enter at the velocity the bubble is travelling, hence, a bad day.

nope. according to white the warp boost to the objects natural speed would only occur in the interface between the different space domains. so even if an object could pass straight through the bubble skin which is not at all likely for various reasons when it reached the interior of the bubble it's warp boost disappears and it travels at it's own natural speed again. this means that the collision problem is only what is would be for the object as if no warp was involved between the velocities of the craft and the oncoming object. while this is formidable at ten percent c (the NASA craft's hypothetical speed in real space) and about 15 to 60 KPH for the object; collisions at such speed are mitigatible or avoidable all together.

Slow cooked GMO or instant GMO makes little difference to me

I love it!

"Computer. Two Chicago styled Hotdogs please".

I merely interested if warp can be used here on earth for transportation?

Would be nice if could be on the other side of the planet within seconds..
