the princaple of warp travel is to decrease the distance between the ship and its destination by \"warping\" space with powerful energy fields , so even if you can't go faster than light , with enough warp you would be able to travel faster because you only have to cover a tiny fraction of the distance between you and your destination . Its all theoritical or... theoretical ... . or........
watch one of the better star trek movies and you'll learn all about it
*sigh*
i was not speaking about warp drives from star trek.
i was speaking of the ones being built by some guy in conjunciton with nasa.
and your grasp of relativity and special relativity along with how real and fictional warp drives is extremely weak.
The very real exitense of teleportation has serious implications and I would like to discuss its application,ramifications and its future but only with people who have a clue what iam talking about.
Just FYI. warp drives do not work anything like trini said.
They work by using the proportionate relation of e=mc2 to reduce mass by the application of energy.
A the first step to a warp engine has already been made, a small warp field has been generated and it has been proven to be able to reduce the mass of a fairly large object, by 17%.
Amazingggg applications. its gonna be apart of the gravatic propulsion systems on the manned mars shuttles. along with the fusion engines.
Another big topic is the use of fusion engines to replace the existing combustion engines on space ships.
It can be done but we have to many wusses worried about fall out.
So they are gonna use a three part engine.
Combustion to clear the atmosphere, gravatic drive to clear the gravity field and then finnaly fusion for the long trip.
*sigh* iam tired
work in the mornin
....
as i was saying i really wanted some links cause all my stuff is on my other machine
