Hyperspace engine to be built by GM using UAW workers.

They say that anything that solves the equations must be valid, but Einstein apparently did not believe that. He rejected some solutions out of hand because they did not appear to describe the world even if mathematically they were perfectly good solutions.

All well and good but the speed limit still remains at 65 on the freeway and 25 in a residential area.......

When he presented his idea in public in 1957, he became an instant celebrity. Wernher von Braun, the German engineer who at the time was leading the Saturn rocket programme Saturn rockets were in development in 1957?

Come on, I read about this stuff in Isaac Asimov.
It must work--otherwise, where did all those robots and stuff come from?
To: billorites
More breathless sensationalism from New Scientist.

How do you slow down? Isn't anybody worried about spaghettifcation?
To: billorites
And in the cellar of his parents' house, he experimented with high explosives. But this was to lead to disaster. Who woulda thunk it? ;-)

"You'd better be prepared for the jump into hyperspace. It's upleasantly like being drunk."
"What's so bad about being drunk?"
"You ask a glass of water."
I saw a show on worm holes and time travel a while back. I think they said, hypothetically, that it would take the 5%
of the mass of Jupiter to create a one meter diameter "rip" that would last for one second.
Just big enough for one person to jump through it.
So, the amount of energy required is phenomenal, and then, I'd bet you'd need to protect everything around it,
including the cargo...
