The Future of Warp Drives -Not just SciFi

[DevilishBooster]

There have been a lot of articles written and speculation given on the possibility, plausibility, and feasibility of and actual warp drive technology. Apparently this man in Omaha, NE has successfully demonstrated the compression of the fabric of space and been able to bend lasers beams without the use of any optics.

In his interview he says that he is confident that in about 6 months they will have a working demonstration for the public. I don't know about you guys, but I am SUPER excited to see where this goes. This could be a huge game changer.

nice

aa this is too much for my brain, mindfuck.

 

what next, spaceships from Dr. Keshe ?

[Sauron]

I don't know if this is to be believed or not (the website doesn't seem very professional ^^) but if it's true, and warp drive will be a thing before I die, It would be epic

[dalekphalm]

I'll believe it when:

 

1. I see it, and

2. It's validated by third party, unbiased scientists who can confirm, and replicate, the science behind it.

He's trying to get it validated but 99% of the people that he sends his papers to laugh at him and don't even give him the professional courtesy of looking at his data.

I was banking warp drives on the Alcubierre Drive and some sort of exotic matter but this looks interesting.

I'd like to believe it but as of right now... I don't know.

On a side note, anyone hear anything more about those Microwave Thrusters that could go to like .1c? It sounded promising but I haven't heard much out of it.

The Theory is sound, whether or not they actually managed it.

It's a guy in his garage funding his research with his own money. He's probably not going to have a website like NASA until the science community starts taking him seriously and he can get some funding.

If true, then he'll laugh in their faces as he wins a Nobel Prize when he releases his working public demo.

Of course, I just question whether he's actually managed it. As with any piece of science and technology, like Fusion Power generators. Plenty have claimed even cold fusion production before. All have turned out to be frauds or improper experiments that yielded wrong data.

 

Eventually it'll happen with Fusion, just like with Warp Tech. Whether he's for real or bullshit will depend on whether he can produce an objectively measurable demonstration that can be vetted by independent scientists.

I don't think so, he will be noticed by NASA and asked to share or join them in development of the technology. NASA is working towards warp technology as well so the more heads the better.

If we could get functional faster-than-light travel in the next couple years, my god . . . . .

Well this is a long way from sending space ships to other solar systems. Even if this tech in the article proves real, then we're probably still 100 years away from actual interstellar travel.

 

But, with technology, you never know. A leap in tech could happen any time, and we could be looking at interstellar travel within most of our lifetimes.

[Stomplar]

I just want a ping thats faster than 200.

[Master Disaster]

Its been generally accepted for a long time that warp technology is not only possible but inevitable. Most of the work requires dark matter to be discovered and I believe there's a theoretical design for an anti matter drive which has been peer reviewed and as far as we can tell will work.

If this guy is legit then its a game changer, I'm doubtful but willing to believe him until his work is tested, only time will tell on this one.

BS, space warp isn't proven by anyone at this moment, but now some random dude managed to do it in his garage? If that dude managed to do it in a garage, why didn't huge labs with badass professors do it before?

Read the full article. The general consensus between scientists is this tech is to far away and not worth investigating. A professor even said "if its gonna happen its gonna happen in a garage"

And actually warp is a mathematical certainty, its not a case of if, only when.

For now, only the concept has been explored, and a guy in a garage has it working? Give me a break.

Why not, the Wright Brothers worked in a shed, as did Frank Whittle, TV, Radio & the Telephone were all invented at home. In fact I'd wager most of the important things that happened between 1850 & 1950 happened at a home and not a lab.

You may be right there, but this is not the kind of thing one will be able to do without some serious lab equipment and computing horsepower.

Well the article describes his garage as a lab, never say never is all I'm saying

 "In his garage lab"

 

Prediction - this will never lead anywhere.

This guy is a University professor, so I think he probably knows what he's doing.
