That’s the beauty of it. In a couple of years gasoline will be exotic matter.
Then we can all drive our cars faster than the speed of light.
Catch me now, copper!
Find a Worm Hole and do time travel.
Several thousand year old cave drawings show UFO’s that look just like some of the contemporary UFO sightings. (They call them UAP’s today, Unidentified Ariel Phenomena)
Hard to believe they haven’t improved them in those thousands of years. Time travel ???
“ Just a shame that I won’t live long enough to see all this brought to reality”
Wait, though. The Bible promises things much greater than this world. So, you will likely be better off than those left here to deal with Mother Nature.
Unidentified Ariel Phenomena
If only one of the thousands of documented UFO sightings are alien beings, it proves interstellar travel is within the relm of possibility!
Normally we assume space to be very empty, but at speeds approaching the speed of light I just wonder of physical objects in space might be a showstopper(?)
It’ll probably send me backwards and I’ll have to start all over.
A classic one-trick pony...
I tell you, there's nothing that can't be done with two tons of unobtanium.
Hmmm...
Not a classic one-trick pony...
The poor pony has been beaten with a stick constantly since 1994...
Two years ago, it appeared, briefly, that there was something it could be trained to do...
Astrophysicists have breathed a collective sigh of relief... they CAN continue to believe their lying eyes, so to speak...
That’s why we need the Spice so the Navigators can plot a path around all the micrometeors that would tear up the ship.
Does negative mass act like the opposite of mass? If I throw a brick sized chunk of it at someone, does it hurt when it hits? Does it act like a magnet and repulse against mass mass?
Can I tie some of it to my feet and... wait, that’s flubber.....
Is available on Amazon? Is it made in China?
C’mon, man, get with it. My AR14 is made if it ....

I’ve read papers that suggest macroscopic objects traveling at c minus 10e-8 or more will be subjected to significant radiation from space itself. This is from running into spontaneously created virtual particle pairs before there is time for recombination (aka “vacuum energy”). That’s also combined with the energy of every photon and other sub-atomic particle run over along the way. Interestingly dust and such can be swept by a liquid droplet radiator in front of the spacecraft during the acceleration phase. A low-vapor pressure coolant liquid is squirted out like a fountain and falls back into a capture dish for recycling ( or captured with magnetic fields, etc)...when decelerating there’s a flaming plume of exhaust sweeping space close to a million kilometers ahead of you, illuminating and ionizing hazards, so you can see in time to destroy stuff (vaporized by the exhaust or with those nifty coolant drops) or dodge it (a centimeter is as good as a mile).
Alcubierre drive avoids that; you’re not moving, space is. Things that run into you are bypassed in a volume of space the drive warps. The article sounds very hopeful and all, and I am not a physicist, but I think it glosses over some things, e.g. the matter you bypass might get dragged along with you and be instantly converted to energy when you turn off the drive(hazardous to everyone nearby, or it’s emitted along your trajectory, potentially vaporizing your destination). Also the energy requirement is higher than a sublight journey at constant acceleration would require...thus we’re back to converting moons to energy...only safe at interstellar distances...
What’s the point? We have a perfectly good planet right here.
Besides, the Californians will move there and screw it up.
Already made by a brewery in Huntsville AL. But very rarely.
Lol. What a great name and label.
Dash light flashing warning gob of rocks ahead.
It is hilarious when Homo Sapiens babbles about the “laws of physics”.
Nature does not give a ^%$# what Homo Sapiens thinks the “laws” are—nature is an outlaw.
