i am a student of aeroSPACE engg. at IndianInstitute of Technology. i've been doing projects with france and nasa for 3 years now.... and they have let me on a couple of secrets....
one of them is about subspace, nasa calls it the 'worm warp' sequence. such a thing has been proved to be theoretically possible but hard to implement practically..
they have experimentally managed to transport small particles from on point to another very far away and in nanoseconds.
by far away i mean, distance over time is greater than the speed of light... i was shown their testing labs for these and they said that after i finish my remaining three years, i can join this warp project if i wanted to.... (right now my project is engine and propulsion for manned flight ot mars and pluto)...
i should have told u guys this when i joined the forum...
anyways look me up for some physics regarding things u want to put in your missions, campaigns....

if u guys love freespace, u must see the civilian, combat, space, space combat simulators here in nasa, u will freaqqqqq like ****!!

the simulators are huge some of them in terabytes and cannot be used on home PCs as it is impractical and also the 3d requirements cannot be met by any 3d card (not even ATI/nVidia)
their antialaising is pucca, a sphere looks like a real sphere, u need to magnify a miilion times to see steps in the drawing of the sphere)

this is just an intro about me....

(also, guys at nasa too like freespace, one of them bid it for 2499USD at eBay)

[Taristin]

24.99USD maybe

[Corhellion]

worm warp...Hmmmm...

How is it possible to send something faster than the speed of light? Einstiens theory of Reletivity clear states that when an object gets closer to the speed of light, the heavier the objects gets.

If you could explain how NASA has been able to produce a transporter-like/"worm warp" system. I'll tell you what I think about the future of Fusion Engines

Oh...and Welcome of HLP!

Quantum Entanglement.

Or a variation of it.

IIRC they found a neat little was of shooting tiny amounts of particles across a room while fucking with QE.

[Singh]

dunno why people want to place the speed of light as a restriction on everything
IMO its just a guideline to explain everything in the universe that goes as the same speed or slower, since if anything DID go faster, we wouldn't know about since our senses (and any which go slower than the speed of light) would not percieve it.

[an0n]

Yup.

To find something that goes faster than the speed of light we'd have to observe some natural phenomenon which interacted with the FTL stuff so we could see how it worked and duplicate the natural effect and use it to our advantage.

[Carl]

I've heared of these experiments, read them i scientific american, so they couldn't be all that secret.

Hey, Knossos, just curious, was my Hydrogen propulsion theory totally off-the-wall?

ive been in one (it was a millitary traning simulator)

The speed of light is only valid whilst the current laws of physics apply. The thing that NASA are discovering right now is that it is possible to create a situation where the laws of physics don't apply ( worm warp space). As for hydrogen propulsion, that was the 'way to the stars' about 20 years ago, using enormous Ramjets ( 2 km odd in size) attached to the front of a ship (Dubbed the Daedelus) that would fuel hydrogen reactors in the engines.
Another favourite theory of mine assumes that light has mass, it's called Photonic Acceleration, and it involves releasing a stream of photons at normal speed and then stuttering out FTL photons, which would 'push' the ship forward. Carl Sagan of the Mars project asked the one question nobody had thought of....
'Who's going to scrape the crew off the back wall when this happens?' LOL

you mean mr. bussard's theory from 50 years ago? yes.

[Unknown Target]

No, his used a fusion reactor. mine used hydrogen

[an0n]

.....You moron.

[Unknown Target]

a bit pissed today, aren't we?


big surprise...

[an0n]

Don't you roll your eyes at me young man.....Or I'll scoop them out with a rusty spoon.

Without being told, I'm guessing your idea involved either using the hydrogen to fuel a fusion reactor, in which case, it's just Bussards idea. Or your idea was just to set fire to it ala rocket-fuel, in which case you'd also need oxygen which is a little scarce in the vaccum of space.


Also: Light does have fucking mass! If it bends near a black-hole, it has mass. Fuck space being warped and all that other non-sense. Light has mass.

rolls eyes at An0n just for fun.
you're as scary as any little geek hidden behind his screen, kid ( mwahaha, I love doing that ).

[Corhellion]

Well...if light does have mass, why doesn't NASA come up with a way to get something to hitch a ride on a light beam? Use it as a "launch catapult" for various things.

[Unknown Target]

an0n, it used hydrogen AS the fuel, not to fuel a reactor. And, it would not combust using oxygen, it would combust using the collision between hydrogen + another molecule (which was what the thread was about, finding that molecule)

So, maybe you do need to be told

Bah, but I don't want to argue with you, it's like trying to make a rock do the tango.

You're french.



And UT, the only way that would be useful is if you could collect non-diatomic hydrogen and make it combine into H2.

Although maybe you could make it react with dark-matter somehow. That'd be pretty useful.


And Cor: They've tested laser-launching systems for craft before, but they ain't stable enough.

And if light doesn't have mass, why does it exhibit force on objects? Ala solar-sails. *whistles suspiciously*

Any radiative energy has mass. I don't care what it is. If it flies around and hits ****, it has mass.

ain't I lucky? when I go to a foreign country, I needn't do anything and I get all the chicks I want, w/o any kind of effort
