warp drive?

Question

For the past 5 years now on my spare time usually it was in school ive been going off of and idea i had one night. i guess you can say it was a dream. I had a dream about a design for a warp drive system.. something well beyond the technology that we have today all im trying to do is find others or someone else who been working at solving this problem.. ive come quiet far with my research and designs. if there is anyone out there that thinks like i do... then leave and answer

Knowing that inorder for a device such as warp drive you would have to bend space and time. What im getting at is in my design in order to warp from one place to another you must fold time basically string theory. and use the dimenstions. also you would need enough energy to keep a worm hole open plus keep you at the speed you would need in order to jump.. if anyone has any ideas please share.

Answer 1

I think it is entirely possible and probable that warp drive will become a reality soon. Look how many other Star Trek devices are commonplace today. I can't wait to travel the solar system.

Answer 2

Well, I guess the problem first at hand is...."Is warp drive even possible?"

At this point, such things as worm holes and bending/folding space are mathematical proofs, not actual physics. I can show you how to build a warp drive;

1. Figure out how to bend/fold spacetime without releasing the enormous amounts of energy stored in it.

2. Design an engine capable of producing HUGE amounts of energy.

3. Design an interface that will allow this energy to be applied to space in a way in which it would bend it.

4. Define, mathematically and physically, what a "wormhole" is.

5. Discover physical means by which one is created.

6. Design spacecraft that can withstand any obsticals (radiation/heat/gravity/etc.) that may be present in a "wormhole".

7. Build it all.

8. Test it out.

By all means, keep thinking about it. Who knows, you may be the person who invents this type of travel. Or in the process, invents some other wonderful thing. Just take it step by step and get educated about it. Take as many Physics, EE, and ME classes as you can.

Answer 3

Yes,

I agree. a warp drive system is definitely the way to go
if you want to move past the primitive propulsion systems
in use today. In addition the string technology is the only
way of achieving that lofty pinicle. The major obstacle
encountered thus far in adaption of string theory to warp
mechanism designs has been the string encapsulator.
Test models have destroyed four encapsulators thus far
in the initial phases of testing. Insufficient capacity within
the encapsulators and inability to provide throughput greater
than 14,750 ML/Km/Sec are currently the main roadblocks.

SphericalMolyTitride Coatings on the waveguide internal
surfaces seem to add sevferal orders of magnitude in
throughput, however, and experiments at L-251 are
continuing as we speak.

Please feel free to attend our monthly meetings and present
your report of accomplishments to the group. Please bring
corporate sponsor designates with you.

Answer 4

We are nowhere NEAR the tech level required for warp drive. Hell, we haven't scratched the Fusion Age yet. We're still in the Nuclear Age.

But a friend of mine and I have been working on some theoretical data over the last three years over improved engine design and space craft devlopment that doesn't use liquid ox/nitrogen, and we've gotten fairly far on it.

Answer 5

hey this is how great discoveries are made, people get ideas but they are usually based on other people's hard work which takes years of science like DNA, Big Bang, Theory of Relativity, Flight etc

Answer 6

Hi. If your idea is more than "Why don't we just bend space" without an understanding of HOW you would bend space, then yeah, there are lots of people thinking about it.
