Warp Factor 10, no longer a Fantasy (1 Viewer)

[Uncle Gizmo]

The below article is from Popular Mechanics, a fantastic magazine I have read since childhood. The article indicates that we are one more step along the road to something like the Star Trek warp drive.

Scientists Announce a Physical Warp Drive Is Now Possible. Seriously.

Humans are one step closer to traveling at faster-than-light speeds.

After Changing my browser identity

How do you do that?

Some browsers allow you to "switch identities" mask really, within their configuration.

Then you have to solve that little problem of running into asteroid fields that pop up out of nowhere.

Every Trekkie has pondered that predicament.

I always liked reading Popular Mechanics and I really miss my local Radio Shack. I guess I have always been a geek

Beam me up Scottie

Oh, Pat, you didn't complete the quote...

Beam me up, Scottie. There is no intelligent life here. Just a bunch of 21st century Earth people.

I was being PC. How unlike me

They got another idea as well!

RADIO SHACK! What a great memory. Now Fry's Electronics has become a memory. Soon Best Buy will become a memory.

Might not be possible now, see this article:-

New Warp Drive Research Dashes Faster-Than-Light Travel Dreams—but Reveals Stranger Possibilities

New warp technology research says faster-than-light travel will remain out of reach for now. Still, warp technology would be revolutionary in its own right.

Nice read on Warp Drive:-

It’s theoretically possible to travel faster than light using the warp drives seen in ‘Star Trek’

The far-fetched technology can let a starship compress space in front of it while expanding spacetime behind it.

A potential model for a real physical warp drive

A pair of researchers at Applied Physics has created what they describe as the first general model for a warp drive, a model for a space craft that could travel faster than the speed of light, without actually breaking the laws of physics. Alexey Bobrick, and Gianni Martire have written a paper...

i always thought that worm hole was best candidate for this

Another step in the right direction:-

DARPA and NASA Scientists Accidentally Create Warp Bubble for Interstellar Travel

A Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency-funded research project at NASA’s Johnson Space Center may have accidentally discovered how to build a warp drive engine. The scientists published their findings in July.
