I don't think knowing the charge or mass of a distant particle will allow us to travel across time and space ;) I like the idea of warping space around a ship though.. contracting space in front and expanding it behind the ship could make the ship travel at incredible speeds.. but even that has is

I'm pretty sure that Quantum Mechanics states that if we "will it" hard enough (Ender's Game: Xenocide), we can do improbable things. Perhaps even really really improbable things, like flip a spaceship across the mind-paralyzing distances between the furthest stars. Case in point: The principle

Can't travel at the speed of light thanks to e=mc2. Because at the speed of light your mass would be infinite. But there's nothing saying you can't travel at 99.99% of it. Also space can expand faster than the speed of light. Making something like a warp bubble possible. sent from my Droid ph

Hey, we were talking about roads on another thread... Oh, wait. Not interstate. Never mind, carry on. Is an inner state like Kentucky or South Dakota? On Thu, Dec 2, 2010 at 10:09 AM, Vivec wrote: > ...If you create...an inner state that functions ~

0_0 you don't know what we.can.do. If you create two states, an inner state that functions at our own time and an outer one that seeks to travel at light speed then those within the inner state would feel nothing. *twilight zone theme* On 2 December 2010 11:05, Casey Dougall wrote: > > Propul

I wonder when resources will be put towards finding new means of propulsion and other accomplishments that would make finding life on these planets worthwhile to begin with. I'd like to see 1 Trillion spent on R&D instead of on the military, for example. On 2 December 2010 03:36, denstar wrote:
