That Einstein guy was a real bummer for our hopes of a star-hopping, science-fiction-y future. His whole “nothing travels faster than light” rule seems to ensure that exploration of even the local part of our galaxy will be an excruciating slow. But Einstein also gave us a glimmer of hope. He showed us that space and time can be warped - and so the warp drive was conceived. Just recently, a couple of papers contend that these are not pure science fiction.

    I think we need to learn the most fundamental thing first........how to stop killing each other and the planet that "we don't own". We're merely custodians. I think that should be top of the "to do" list. The United States had a budget Last year of a trillion dollars for their defence programme!!!! We're not nice guys!!! I'm also convinced that somewhere in America this technology exists. To quote a very well known director of a certain highly classified organisation ( now retired) " everything you can think of from your sci-fi shows, we already have or have done". Mis-information?? You decide. But way back when Bob Lazar came out as a whistleblower and said he knew which element these E.T's used in their craft (element 115....if I recall) everybody thought......crank, hoax etc etc. But since then scientists have discovered element 115 and a now also retired person confirmed Lazar did indeed work at Area 51, specifically back engineering space craft. And it's now widely accepted by the MUFON organisation that we have our own space craft. It's fascinating and more and more credible witnesses are coming forward e.g. ex air force, scientists, and actual people who have seen these things. Just listen to Buzz Aldron. Why, when we got to the moon, immediately when Neal Armstrong disembarked from the lunar lander did he switch radio channels to the medical group and say "they are here we can see them and they can see us"??? and it all just gets washed over. Full disclosure on these issues is coming in my opinion. And it's not because it would cause mass panic it's because a significant amount of people and companies would lose an enormous amount of money. That's just a fact. It's almost an insult to people's intelligence when they hit us with these mis-information campaigns. We HAVE the technology that would make oil, gas, petrol etc redundant and obsolete which of course has the potential to make a positive impact on climate change!!!. Anyway if you've read this far lol thank you but yeah.......I think first things first....humanity needs to find a way to try and get along. Not going to happen I hear you say and sadly I agree. If these E.T.s are visiting us which I think they are. I'm also thinking are they just scouting us and sitting back saying...." uch let them wipe themselves out then we'll take the planet and it's resources then move on to the next". I point you to a podcast with James Fox. He's brought a film out called moment of contact. Please listen to it. It is "Astonishing". It's about a space craft crash in Varganhia in Brazil......it will make you think guys. Anyhoo thanks for reading and sorry about the size of the reply lol🙈🙈

    @@orange_turtle3412 I would argue to the contrary. A subluminal warp ship - IF we overlook the energy requirements - has advantages over a classical relativistic rocket ship: - Time-wise, it is basically in sync with Earth, so no grandfather paradoxes (I realize this is also a disadvantage in theory... but not really). - It can be immune to space debris, because of the warp field. - I'd say it is better for near-c speeds, because impracticality of classic inertial movement at high c fractions will eventually overrun warp drive impracticality. Also, subluminal warp fields do not have such extreme curvatures and event horizons, so their effects "probably" wouldn't be reality shattering. I still wouldn't activate it near Earth, though.

    Reactionless drives would be extremely useful, regardless whether they can be FTL. The mass ratios demanded by the rocket equation make exploring deep space very difficult, even at sublight. I'm hopeful that warp field solutions requiring negative mass may be made practical, by oscillation of positive mass in proper configuration and frequency; or, we will figure out what negative mass really means once we develop a proper theory of quantum gravity.

    Agreed, look into the Mach Effect Gravitational Assist Drive…it uses such mass oscillations and the latest updates on it have been extremely positive. After the whole EM drive debacle I think a lot of people got the cold shoulder on reaction-less propulsion, and the physics used to develop it are much older. However Woodward released a paper on how the oscillations might (~might~) release some of that negative energy. There’s a lot of speculation involved but I’m excited to see where it ends up.

    It wouldn't be completely useless, as you could observe stars too many lightyears away to be visible from Earth. If you could get to the edges of the galaxy, you might be able to see beyond where the milkeyway blocks our view of other galaxies in those directions. Right now, we can only see other galaxies above or below our own.

    for the last time im going to explain this once again,warp drive requires exotic matter with negative mass,it's nearly impossable tho it might be possable in a few thousands of years,hoever what we can make realisticly within next few hundred years would be wormhole travel,yeah you heard me right wormhole travel,wormholes aren't exacly the same as black holes sinse the difference is that one makes stable path to another side of hte galaxy wille the other one just eats and only apears as if it could be one of them,but you can never know for sure unless you see it before you die,now wormholes would be much safer bet for FTL 1)we already found and confirmed existance of wormholes 2)we don't know how to stabilize them yet,tho it won't require exotic matter,just enormous amount of energy to stabilize them,like dyson swarm of satelites around the sun type energy. problems:currently known wormholes are extremely tiny,so much that when scientists observe them they would need a microscope,expanding them to size of a rocket would be tricky,basicly that still doesn't require exotic matter,just enormous amount of enmergy.

    We would expand like baby to adult, either way , but wouldnt konw if the universe its actually shrinking or growing , or cycling. thats true turning light into hard copy and memories takes more space, and creates a lot of heat, that requires expanding space to disperse it.. also the chaos we see all around needs room, organizing stuff makes more chaos and heat as you do the effort. that, generally goes in the forward direction, that stuff happening, creates heat, disorder in sum. so we remember a time when there was less space. say you are an actor in a film.. step out of the movie, at the beginning actors dont know the end. (someone could tell you the end, but they are a god who and know you already saw the film, or acted in it) Play the film backwards, everyone dies at the end. the actors dont learn whats "next" they remember it, as they go, they forget what happened "before" .. you forget stuff. as the world shrinks.

Now it is entertaining to me to explore possibilities and others experiences. I feel that the major downside to religion is closing yourself off to other possibilities in fear of having to leave the idea behind of having an answer.

    ​@ You're welcome! One interesting thing Dr. Erik Lentz mentioned in his talk is that, he was a huge Star Trek fan when he was younger, and that ever since then, he wanted to try to make warp drives real. Of course back then, he knew he does not know enough about physics to actually advance the research, so he could not do much more than reading Alcubierres Paper and being generally interested in the topic. But then last year, during lockdown, he felt like he actually has enough knowledge to work on it now, and the time to do it, so he started to sit down and try to find a way to make warp drives possible without the major issue of negative energy being required. I found that whole story very nice, it shows how much one bright mind can advance science, and how much it depends on external factors (like being bored from a lockdown due to a pandemic) to spark such research! And what it also shows is: People need to have something to spark their interest in the topic. I think, Dr. Erik Lentz himself is a really inspiring person to listen to, and the more people spend "significant brain power" with learning about the actual science behind it (even if just by looking at it from a very high level, like watching his talk), the more likely it is that one of these people then might end up being the next person who actually finds some missing piece of the puzzle to further advance the science of warp drives. Maybe someone reading this comment will be the person who in the future finds that last missing piece of the puzzle! Quite possible!

He first wants to focus on bringing the energy requirement down though, as knowing how exactly to accelerate or decelerate it does not help much while you need some Jupiters of mass for it to work.

You can have a black hole created with no more matter than is in a grain of salt. All you have to do is make it extremely dense. Also black holes are possibly some of the best batteries in the universe. So theoretically if one could be created that is small enough to be maintained yet large enough to not disappear immediately while also keeping it in a vacuum where it would only receive the matter that was fed to it then that could be a great way to generate electricity and a massive amount of it. Granted we would need to figure out a way to keep it moving with the ship & then make sure that it stops with the ship.

It would have worked, too, if only I could obtain some super-conducting electromagnets -- or the hypothesized Absolutium. And I was having significant problems controlling acceleration and deceleration. But I was sure I could overcome that with something better than a "space-bubble." PS It still cannot go faster than light -- that's impossible.

    Last time I corrected one of these PBS videos, they took my comments off, but hopefully these are more benign. There is only one warp drive that does not violate general relativity, the Alcubierre Warp drive. His designer spacetime idea is brilliant because it allows for one's local space reference frame to be dragged faster than the speed or light without any inertial effects. The spacecraft inside the warped bubble is as though it is A NON INERTIAL FRAME!!!. Consequently, it does not violate special relativity because it is standing still relative to itself, but the space if being pulled around the outside of the bubble faster than the speed of light. This is a loop hole in special and general relativity that allows us to get around SP GR or Einstein's laws. The idea that one could use only positive energy density to make a warp drive is a mistake which does not consider that designer space times must have a goal which was to find a loop hole in special and general relativity, but these laws can't be cheated, but only worked around them. The Alcubierre warp bubble's entire contents including the spacecraft and people are weightless in a free fall geodesic and non inertial frame, but without the negative energy, there is no free fall geodesic. Consequently, Erik Lentz's warp drive won't work because there is no pocket of space or warp bubble without negative energy and no expansion of space with only positive energy density so his model suffers from the inertial effects and would never be able exceed light speed or even reach it. The idea that there is no way to get a Alcubierre warp bubble faster than light is very easy to solve. 1) Assume we don't need negative matter, but only a field of negative energy, 2) Gravity waves are positive energy density so when we consider making gravity control we would not assume we have to have huge amounts of matter to make it, t but some kind of device which changes one of the other three forces like electromagnetism, etc., into gravity like a wave particle graviton emission device. Well, you could envision that same for a space warp with negative energy. Consequently, we could simply increase the strength of the negative energy field which would push the spacecraft faster until it went beyond light speed. The same idea applies to a gravitational wave rocket which is no different from Erik Lentz's version of a warp drive! 3) The energy requirements of the amount of positive energy needed to make negative energy are based on the excitation of the quantum vacuum zero point energy like a black hole, It is incorrectly assumed that we have to use the zero point energy to make negative energy, an idea that needs to be challenged, then we might discover another way to make negative energy like unified field theory or conversion of one force directly into another which uses exponentially less energy than we thought because some propulsion scientists erroneously assume we were limited to that idea of extracting negative energy only from the quantum vacuum zero point energy which requires and exponentially large amount of positive energy to make only a little negative energy.,

So whilst it is nice to stay optimistic, we can't justify the existence of future tech with the development of past tech, it represents a sort of selection bias, where we forget all the failed theories and technologies.

    Nonetheless she was right. Alcubierre constructed an insider joke using the mathematical equivalent of a lack of energy in an equation that is formally valid but semantically nonsense. That joke went over many people's head and now he doesn't dare to tell them that they're idiots falling for a construct that is formally valid but semantically invalid. Alcubierre is a funny guy who doesn't want to do harm, but nonetheless his drive is just a case of trolling the science community.

    I'm hoping for a video on the casimir "warp field" the scientist working with DARPA and NASA DARPA came across and the tests they're planning regarding it (though not with much attention or funding since that's not what the DARPA contract is for). I definitely think the casimir effect has uses or properties we haven't discovered yet or even discounted since a lot about it is simply seen as a neat oddity anyway. Still, I'm not sure how it would create a warp field on its own. If at all.

    Exactly the same as entanglement, describeable in Feynman diagrams, also a wormhole of information. The entropy is overall both negative amd positive, making it locally near 0, in our positive time growing in complexity of qubits fractally-infinite filling curve-like, where the surface(coupled to E⁴ metric)which describes a volume of |S×h> knotting in on itself, essentially coupling two qubits of information in a simplified version of a Feynman diagram. Back in time. (?) Quantum entanglement as disappearing worlds of Copenhagen/everett?(?) Quantifying entropy in qubits this way I think hasn't been done yet, but surely Juan Maldacena and Leonard Susskind are working on it. Warp drive I think, requires an event horizon of entropy/information. I also think the metric is locally deSitter, but non-locally Anti-deSitter. Cut in half (?) Like a mobius strip, a Klein bottle or a thoroidal hyperbolic spacetime (???) Which would represent negative entropy.. The "spacetime ship" would be on the inside of an wormhole. If quantifiable we can control it intelligently. Black hole mergers by ligo are great to study negative energy(positive spacetime inflation) by extreme gravitational waves, something recently talked on Lenny's Stanford complexity studies KZread channel. I can record a meta trailer for interstellar 2 by contacting kip Thorne (LIGO director of theoretical physics or smth, writer of the science of Interstellar, the original script for interstellar, Nobel prize winner 2017, genius.)to talk about ligo pretending I found his clues by watching interstellar. Lunatic, delusional, crazy and genius. Recipe for science and science fiction. Ultimately two branches of thinking that balance entropy in our time travelling brains. I can even build a TARDIS for a scene and perfect the animation with openAI or something like CAD frame by frame them filling in the frames and adding pixels to make it 4k(120fps). Ofc I need help tho, I accept each and every creative and geniality-filled crazy people. *Scientific reasoning and logical thinking are required tho, to take down creativity and bind it to logic , guiding insanity to geniality
