I'm currently working with a colleague to create a scaled-down model of how this would work. Hopefully, we can set the ball rolling and get a warp drive developed.
@WhutsUrNaym If in 64 years the worlds best scientists haven't even begun to "set the ball rolling" towards Warp Drive, how do you expect yourself and 1 friend to? :)
Were you given the necessary information from the future? :P
@WhutsUrNaym Not having a niggle at you at all, obviously we'd all love to see it work.
We all want it to happen in our lifetimes, but it won't.
Especially not when 95% of humans are intentionally slowing down the progress of all mankind, continuing to believe in ridiculous fairytales, ignoring logic, and not contributing to science - by praying to some God or other that doesn't bloody exist - fact.
If we got rid of religion, maybe we could actually have Warp 5 by 2151 after all.
I found that the exact solution to Einstein's field equations for an electromagnetic radiation pulse yeilds warp drive spacetime without any exotic matter nor any energy condition violations just ordinary electromagnetic fields.

You pulse the warp behind the ship and ride it while it overtakes the ship at speeds arbitrarily close to the speed of light.
We won't be able to do it because our understanding of 'current' is backwards. See my video on Ampere's Force Law. Warp technology has been hidden in plain sight.
I ration this as a bubble within space. That bubble may be moving FTL, but the interior space would not. Thus, you can accelerate to near the speed of light 9.9999999... out of ten. You can actually use the system Star Trek did. There is a warp barrier at Warp 10 (Transwarp or Infinite), Warp 1 would be with no other acceleration, except for the bubble, and on and on etc. until the next limit is set by the fact that normal space within the bubble is limited by the speed of light. Interesting.
Nice I think this is the Alcubierre Metric right? I hope scientists use String Theory to manage to create a warp drive metric that would be praticable :)
They actually have, to some extent, calculations now show that 10^45 joules of energy is the new energy requirement when you take into account string theory which is much more reasonable
5 dimensional. In the above image the x-y plane corresponds to 3+1D space and the z-axis corresponds to the extrinsic curvature. You can think of it as surrounding the ship - but it's just a mental handle.
I'm seeing that...thing everywhere, but no demonstration of what it would be like if a spaceship used it. That would answer such things as "Would it be instantaneous like in Battlestar Galactica"?
No, it would not be instantaneous. You are thinking of a wormhole. Warp drives function at FLT speeds, so in theory you could make a round trip between two points faster than a beam of light.
interesting, so you would not be moving at all, but still moving faster than the speed of light without violating general relativity, does anyone know the speeds it might reach?
The theoretical maximum limit that could be obtained via this principal could be as high as 10E32 times light speed. This would, however, require the mass energy content of approximately one trillion trillion trillion universes.
How much energy do you need in order to create a warp bubble?

Thanks a lot for posting this; the teachers at my school nick-name me 'warp-drive weirdo' because I am interested in science (and Star trek)

You should skip to instant travel theories, those are not a waste of "time":)

Warp Bubble

if I am correct, I don't think tachyons could be used in either FTL travel/communication because they cannot carry information.

@galenct the gravity gradient would push you along. the higher the gradient, the faster you would go.

question, warp bubble 2 dimensional or 3 dim? Is it surrounding the ship like a sphere?
platoon1993 2 years ago
5 dimensional. In the above image the x-y plane corresponds to 3+1D space and the z-axis corresponds to the extrinsic curvature. You can think of it as surrounding the ship - but it's just a mental handle.

is that what they call "subspace" ? -I mean the other two dimensions-

Best estimate. How many years away until FTL?

It's impossible to say. Technological singularities could play a role.

i am working on an FTL drive already. To be honest, it's more like a Mobius Chair, but could be scaled up to be fitted into a starship...
