Golly, I was on this, now where did I put that pile of negative mass I found????
“As he explained, a thicker warp shell would reduce the strain on spacetime, thus allowing a spacecraft to achieve speeds of up to 10 times the speed of light (10 c) using only two metric tons (2.2 U.S. tons) of exotic matter:”
I suggest they try dilithium crystals...
Ouch!!!! My head hurts...........
“Give me Warp factor 10, Mr Scot.”
“i dunno if the engines can handle it, Captain!”
“That’s an order, Mr Scot!”
Just a shame that I won’t live long enough to see all this brought to reality. I grew up with Heinlein, Asimov, Phillip K Dick, and all the others. I’ve been waiting on FTL flight for most of my life.
sigh...
Y’all can go first.
I keep mine next to the lead to gold micro wave proton remover.
You really want me to read that?
It’s not just a good idea; it’s the law.
I can get monolithium crystals for half price at CostCo but I have to buy a pallet of them.
Going right away to put this in my “Light Readng for Quiet Time in front of the Fireplace in My Cozy Robe with a Cup o’ Hot Tea” file.
;-)
It will only take 2 tons of exotic matter to power a warp drive that can do 10X the speed of light.
The exotic matter will only cost $6 quadrillion dollars per gram.
I say, let’s go for it!
You could still make it. It depends on how old you are and whether AI can figure it all out in the next few years. Haha, don’t laugh. It’s possible. I guess. :-)
C’mon, you can’t live forever!
‘The exotic matter will only cost $6 quadrillion dollars per gram.’
I say Do It while you can!
In a year or two, that won’t buy a tank of gas.
Only 41 years til Zephram Cochrane invents the warp drive.
Sure, give it a shot. Who knows? In a few years you may find yourself the proud owner of a luxurious 3-D printed starship that was printed for mere pennies by some helpful AI robot. (It’d be one way to get away from the libs fouling up planet Earth!)
Perfect! Maybe you can explain the bits I can’t seem to grasp!
I’d be thrilled with <$2/gal. travel.
Where do I go to get that?
