Well, according to our current understanding of physics, nothing with mass may travel AT or ABOVE the speed of light.
Though maybe there's a way around it? I hope.

Yeah, I think I read something that said it would take all the energy in the universe to accelerate a particle up to light speed.

True but something like the alcubierre drive allows FTL without violating any laws as no matter moves faster than light technecly.

In reality it simply moves space and the ship is pulled along with it but the ship dosnt really move at all within the local space time.

Warp. You'll have to warp space and enter subspace to go at FTL speeds. Then you have transwarp, slipstream, etc. Going by what we currently know about Physics though, it'd seem impossible.
>>
>>688212742
The key to FTL is not to move at all, move space around the ship, matter can't accelerate within normal spacetime but if you move a bubble of spacetime by expanding and contracting spacetime you can send a ship to destinations faster than light without moveing the ship at all.

Yes. the thing is that you dont move the spaceship at all. You create a bubble of spacetime around it and move the bubble. This has been done before. Someone created a warp field around an electron and moved it faster than light. Doing this with an actual space ship would require an inmense amound of energy, which we simply cannot generate yet.

The Alcubierre drive relies on "exotic matter", which is something that has, in essence, negative mass, and because of that also moves backwards in time. So if you show me some backwards-in-time matter, I can show you a warp drive.

Well, see, the problem is that it may not be impossible for matter to go faster than the discerned hard limit that any particle can travel (light speed). Exactly what is doing it, is up for debate still.

What isn't a great thing to do, is accelerate a shuttle with people inside to even fractions of light speed greater than the total amount of potential energy for the entire shuttle, plus people, as they are in their current forms. People and shuttles... aren't galaxy-sized. We'll behave differently, as a unit. For the time being, people are still being surprised about even gravity.

No one has ever published a possible cosmology with CTC's in it that's consistent with observation.

And before you shout WORMHOLES, those have never been observed either. In fact, exotic matter was invented by Kip Thorne to show that an Einstein-Posen bridge (that is, a GR wormhole) could be stabilized by it. But exotic matter doesn't exist, wormholes don't exist, and there's no reason to believe in the existence of CTC either.

>>
>>688215360
No but the loophole is this

You cannon accelerate matter faster than the speed of light, but you can manipulate the fabric of space time, by expanding space behind a ship and contracting it infront you can have matter pulled seemingly faster than light without haveing it technecly move at all.

A loophole in physics is finding a way around a problem without violating a physical law not finding a glitch in the matrix.

And by "a lot", I presume you mean, "very little". Almost all ideas in theoretical physics are dead ends. You don't hear of them outside the field, because they're not considered successes. Supersymmetry, axions, HALO, WIMP--the list goes on and on. The vast majority do not pan out.

Sure, but that doesn't mean that all the mathematics that folks dream up is physically relevant. That's like saying that the Kaluza-Klein theory is true in the actual world just because it's mathematically consistent. Experimental evidence distinguishes between mathematical concepts, some are physically true and some are physically false. Experiment, however, does not read on axiomatic truth at all. These two notions are truth just aren't the same.

i never said that it is possible to travel faster than light by any mean and in the foreseeable future.

>Math doesn't predict. Humans predict.

This is why I made the comment. The guy I replied to was simply wrong. Math does predict every experiment we do.

>>688220866
have you tested this theory?

>>688220974
More energy in one spot than we will ever be able to meaningfully produce.

If you can create an equal environment in two places you can go from one to the other without traveling. Any distance instantly.

But you can't travel faster than light.

>>688221375

This has been tested yes

You can use a singularity to warp space but it would only contract space around it, for a warp drive to work you need to contract space ahead and expand it behind. This is why current theories look into negative vaccume energy or hypothetical exotic matter.

You have to remember this is all speculation, but even within speculation Black holes can't accomplish what is needed for warp drives.

>>688213174
I see everything you know about physics you learned from Star Trek.
>>
>>688213197
That's the basis of an alcubierre drive.
>>
>>688213633
Sub space was made up for Star Trek
>>
>>688221587
Exactly why it is impossible. You would need the amount of energy of a massive star, galaxy, blackhole or dark matter directly converted from its mass to energy. Good luck doing that
>>
>>688221614
Yeah I can have two homes that look the same inside, and pretend im travelling between them... but when I go out, it might kinda seem like I only exit out of the one I entered the last...

Blackholes are examples of singularities fuck hole

It's pathetic how close minded you are. Obviously nobody in this thread can prove any of this because we are at the THEORETICAL point of all this research. Go back in time 100 years and tell people that the knowledge of mankind will be available on an object smaller than a book accessible nearly anywhere in the world. Nobody would believe that either but look at how quickly our technology advances. It is only going to advance more rapid with the creation of AI coming in the future.

This is why I hate brainwashed normies

>>688223002
No we are at hypothetical point. Theoretical point would be where we know way more than we do now. Right now this whole thing is hypothesis. I know this is knit picking but theory and hypothesy is vast difference in physics
>>
>>688222585
Yes I know, read it again, I said you can use sigulerities to warp space but not in the way needed for a warp drive
>>
>>688223191

Lets face it. Nobody that uses phrases like this can actually know much about physics....

It pathetic how dumb you are. I get with time technology progresses but we are talking about creating enough energy to simulate the mass (remember E=MC^2) as a massive star, Galaxy, dark matter or blackhole. The amount of energy is not would not be easy to make. As for the Casimir effect argument this is seen at the atomic level where quantum effects are at play. Nothing larger than a Bucky ball exhibits quantization it becomes continuous...aka is described by classical physics. Clearly you never took any coursework in cosmology or quantum mechanics

Also check out this sweet pic.

just imagine, taking a speed of light ride.
wow. the concept is really really really really really fun.

>>688223351
Ok then answer my question here then >>688220974

>>688211523
Sure, it doesn't exist yet. 'Theorizing' about it on a random image board isn't going to prove to anyone that you're not a faggot OP.

>Death march always came too soon.

>>688224406
I already did

Negative vaccum energy or hypothetical exotic matter.
>>
>>688212850
The current theory on that also includes the fact that when the spacetime relaxes as you slow down it destroys everything in front of you
>>
>>688224462
No

But it's fun to speculate about!

Also anyone else notice that faggot has been so overused here it's lost all power as an insult?
>>
>>688213499
It isn't possible, but it is possible to slow down time to practically nothing in a small space (relative to that space) effectively allowing 'traveling' to the future. However, most things cannot survive such intense gravitational forces.
>>
>>688224683
And?

If you are going to enter a new star system and introduce yourself to a new race it's best to do in a way that strikes fear into them.

If a ship showed up here and destroyed the moon simply by decelerating would you be scared?
>>
>>688224612
So What is exotic matter and negative vacuum energy and how do they do this...in your own words because I don't think you know what you are talking about.

Pro tip: I have actually taken courses in quantum mechanics
>>
>>688224825
>But it's fun to speculate about!

Theology is fun in exactly the same way for the god-addled.
>>
>>688225096
It's also theoretically possible to create a closed time like curve and go back in time by creating a massive cylinder hundreds of km wide and thousands long abd spinning it up to close to the speed of light.

However you can only go back as far as when it was first spun up and no known material could survive those speeds in that large a scail so it's theoretical possible but in practice is unrealistic.
>>
>>688213216
>Someone created a warp field around an electron and moved it faster than light.

No one has done that. There are attempts to do that, but not successes.

>>688225238
Exotic matter is a hypothetical form of matter that has properties contrary to ordinary matter, including negative mass.

Negative vaccume energy is an apperent existence of energy that is found throughout space in the absence of matter that has a mesurable negative force, possibly caused by virtual particle formation or the effect of ordinary matter interacting stronger outside a region than inside as with the Casimir effect.

>>688225525
Ah, yes. I nearly forgot about that idea.

Didn't Dr. Ronald Mallet's project get shut down?
