We seriously need to get off this planet. With WARP DRIVE! |

User ID: 5145260 United States 12/02/2012 12:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We seriously need to get off this planet. With WARP DRIVE! And the way to do it doesn't seem so far-fetched anymore. [ link to io9.com] "A few months ago, physicist Harold White stunned the aeronautics world when he announced that he and his team at NASA had begun work on the development of a faster-than-light warp drive. His proposed design, an ingenious re-imagining of an Alcubierre Drive, may eventually result in an engine that can transport a spacecraft to the nearest star in a matter of weeks — and all without violating Einstein's law of relativity. We contacted White at NASA and asked him to explain how this real life warp drive could actually work.

Quoting: The Guy Huh? " a new design that could significantly reduce the amount of exotic matter required. And in fact, White says that the warp drive could be powered by a mass that's even less than that of the Voyager 1 spacecraft. That's a significant change in calculations to say the least. The reduction in mass from a Jupiter-sized planet to an object that weighs a mere 1,600 pounds has completely reset White's sense of plausibility — and NASA's." Nice thread OP. Cool stuff.
