Alcubierre drive
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Alcubierre drive or Alcubierre warp drive (or Alcubierre metric, referring to metric tensor) is a speculative idea based on a solution of Einstein’s field equations in general relativity as proposed by theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre, by which a spacecraft could achieve faster-than-light travel if a configurable energy-density field lower than that of vacuum (that is, negative mass) could be created.
Walt Disney is still frozen someplace. Maybe he can be sent there and defrosted.
That’s the beauty of capitalism. Find a need and fill it. Our ‘pioneer days’ of earth explorations are basically over. There is nowhere left to go but space........................
“Walt Disney is still frozen someplace. Maybe he can be sent there and defrosted.”
FYI, FWIW...

Testing shows using microwaves to propel a craft into space might work:

It’s an urban legend that that’s an urban legend. :-)
Contradictions abound. If this planet’s sun is older than ours by a billion years, then it likely never had life that evolved to intelligence, otherwise we would see some artificial sign coming from the area, such as cohesive waves. The more technologically advanced we get, the more likely that our emissions will reach out further into space. If there were life out there, what are the chances that we are the most advanced? If there are billions of planets out there with life, you would think that some percentage of them would be more advanced than us.
1400 light years, eh??? I wonder how much food I’d have to pack for the trip...
Venus' lack of a magnetic field is probably a more significant reason for how Earth and Venus ended up than their relative positions to the sun.
Explore the human genome. Then when you start to think youre smart, fathom the trillions of connections in the human brain.
what they’re seeing is their computer detects a minute change in the starlight next to it. They are not seeing anything else, but are making all these assumptions based on this tiny bit of information.
1400 light years...
What’s that in beer?
Whole lot of speculation going on. They can only say it actually meets a couple out of dozens of the requirements for a planet to be called “habitable”.
That’s purely theoretical, we aren’t even sure if the science behind the proposal would work.
To propel it into space perhaps, but not to get it to light speed. It is impossible to achieve light speed through acceleration, and this microwave method is just an alternate form of acceleration.
IMO, it’s a planet of interest, just like all others are.
You can only tell so much from spectrum analysis. We didn’t even know what Pluto looked like until a few days ago.
Just because it’s in the zone, doesn’t mean it looks any different than Venus or Mars.
This is pure hype. Look at all these marvelous discoveries and continue to fund us folks.
I support the funding. I don’t support this nonsense.
“1400 light years away, no one alive today will ever see it.”
Been working on a FTL drive.
All I need is some plutonium or at least a Mr. Fusion.
