'We have broken speed of light'
Thursday 24th of May 2012 01:17:26 AM
Posted by admin / Under Warp Knitting
| A pair of German physicists claim to have broken the speed of light - an achievement that would undermine our entire understanding of space and time. According to Einstein's special theory of relativity, it would require an infinite amount of energy to propel an object at more than 186,000 miles per second. However, Dr Gunter Nimtz and Dr Alfons Stahlhofen, of the University of Koblenz, say they may have breached a key tenet of that theory. The pair say they have conducted an experiment in which microwave photons - energetic packets of light - travelled "instantaneously" between a pair of... |
The Future Is Looking Grim For Time Warp Town

| The future is looking grim for time warp town By Catherine Elsworth in Scotia (Filed: 12/07/2006) One of the last surviving company towns in America, a 19th century relic where everything from the houses and streets to the churches and school is owned by a single firm, is about to move into the 21st century. Scotia, a logging community in the redwood forests of northern California, has been owned by the Pacific Lumber Company (Palco) since it was founded in the 1860s. Its 800 residents either work for the company, are retired from it or related to an employee. All... |
The Warp Drive

| What: A spacecraft that travels at faster-than-light speeds by distorting, or “warping,” the fabric of spacetime. Instead of trying to move through space, the warp drive moves space itself. The ship sits inside a bubble of spacetime bound by a negative energy field that races across the cosmos. Why: Chemical and nuclear propulsion, solar sails and ion thrusters all are too slow to reach the nearest star systems within a human life span. At faster-than-light speed (more than 186,000 miles per second), a warp-drive ship would travel 4.5 light-years to Alpha Centauri, the closest sun to our own, in about... |
FOSS for OS/2: Keeping the flame alive

| FOSS for OS/2: Keeping the flame alive Thursday February 16, 2006 (06:00 PM GMT) By: Bruce Byfield After a decade of neglect and increasingly reluctant support from IBM, the manufacturer, the OS/2 community persists. Where users of GNU/Linux or FreeBSD have turned to free and open source software (FOSS) for political and philosophical freedom and software quality, the surviving OS/2 community has been turning to FOSS as a means of defending members' right to use the operating system of their choice. The result is a small but surprisingly diverse collection of projects that, to a GNU/Linux user, is a mixture... |
Milky Way's warp caused by interloping galaxies

Posted by admin / Under Warp Knitting
| WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Milky Way is warped -- like a bowl, a saddle or the brim of a fedora hat, depending on when you look -- and a pair of interloping galaxies may be to blame, astronomers said on Monday. Earth is in a fairly non-warped neighborhood, because it lies relatively close to the center of the Milky Way's disk, said Leo Blitz of the University of California, Berkeley. But the far-flung reaches of the galaxy could be caught up in a warp of as much as 20,000 light-years. A light-year is about 6 trillion miles, the distance light... |
Welcome to Mars express: only a three hour trip (WARP ENGINE USAF/NASA)

| AN EXTRAORDINARY "hyperspace" engine that could make interstellar space travel a reality by flying into other dimensions is being investigated by the United States government. The hypothetical device, which has been outlined in principle but is based on a controversial theory about the fabric of the universe, could potentially allow a spacecraft to travel to Mars in three hours and journey to a star 11 light years away in just 80 days, according to a report in today's New Scientist magazine. The theoretical engine works by creating an intense magnetic field that, according to ideas first developed by the late... |

Warp Drive, When?

| A Look at the Scaling The ideal interstellar propulsion system would be one that could get you to other stars as quickly and comfortably as envisioned in science fiction. Before this can become a reality, three scientific breakthroughs are needed: discovery of a means to exceed light speed, discovery of a means to propel a vehicle without propellant, and discovery of a means to power such devices. Why? - Because space is big, really, really, really big. Space takes up a lot of space! Interstellar distances are so astronomical (pun intended) that it is difficult to convey this expanse.

Recent articles in Scientific American have talked about traveling faster than light.

| Einstein's special theory of relativity predicts that nothing can exceed the speed of light. But special relativity applies when spacetime is flat. When spacetime is curved, the theory applies only "locally"--that is, over regions of spacetime small enough to be considered flat. Consider the analogy of a plane that is tangent to a sphere. The flat geometry of the plane is a good approximation to the geometry of the sphere when the size of the plane is very small compared to the sphere's radius of curvature. |
Redesigning Rockets: NASA Space Propulsion Finds a New Home

| While the exploration of the Moon and other planets in our solar system is exciting, the first task for astronauts and robots alike is to actually get to those destinations. To facilitate inter-solar system travel, NASA has committed itself to the study of a number of far-out propulsion methods. Researchers are hoping the space agency's new Propulsion Research Center will help scientists move at least some of those new methods from the theoretical to reality. "We need a real jumpstart in propulsion and research," said Steve Rodgers, manager of the new center based at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC)... |

| NASA officials hope the door to a solution for a cheap round-trip ticket to Mars was opened at Marshall Space Flight Center on Thursday. The center's new $32 million Propulsion Research Laboratory was built to help local researchers unlock the secrets of efficient, cheaper spaceflight. "This is an important cornerstone" of propulsion research, said Marshall Director Dave King. "We are unveiling our future here." |
(Possible FTL Advancement!)NASA Researchers Put New Spin On Einstein's Relativity Theory
Thursday 24th of May 2012 01:17:26 AM
Posted by admin / Under Warp Knitting
| NASA Researchers Put New Spin On Einstein's Relativity Theory Albert Einstein might be astonished to learn that NASA physicists have applied his relativity theory to a concept he introduced but later disliked namely that two particles that interact could maintain a connection even if separated by a vast distance. Researchers often refer to this connection as "entanglement." Researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., have discovered that this entanglement is relative, depending on how fast an observer moves with respect to the particles, and that entanglement can be created or destroyed just by relative motion. This might change... |
The Starship Builders (Speculation on UFO Propulsion methods by Physist)

| The Starship Builders by Kim Burrafato In UFOs and the New Physics, we discussed some of the daunting problems in applying terrestrial rocket propulsion principles to any hypothetical models of UFO propulsion. A lot has happened since that article?s publication over two years ago. It seems we?re getting almost weekly reports of newly discovered extrasolar planetary systems. What was once highly speculative, is now commonplace. Obviously, our previous estimates of the number of stars with possible planetary systems will be revised dramatically upwards. Then there is the recent announcement from a distinguished British research team, that they also had... |

Speed of light broken with basic lab kit - Four billion km/h attainable!

| Speed of light broken with basic lab kit 10:03 16 September 02 Charles Choi Electric signals can be transmitted at least four times faster than the speed of light using only basic equipment that would be found in virtually any college science department. Scientists have sent light signals at faster-than-light speeds over the distances of a few metres for the last two decades - but only with the aid of complicated, expensive equipment. Now physicists at Middle Tennessee State University have broken that speed limit over distances of nearly 120 metres, using off-the-shelf equipment costing just $500. Jeremy Munday and... |
