silverghoul1 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 what well be required to warp space and or time, and how much of an area would be affected by the "warping" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endy0816 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Can you explain a little about what you mean by warping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverghoul1 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_warp_%28science_fiction%29 or is it to much of fiction to do this or maybe just enough power to create a blackhole Edited February 8, 2015 by silverghoul1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Let's just use a nonrotating massive body since it's simpler than an Alcubierre metric. Nonrotating spherical bodies have a Schwartzchild metric: [math]c^2\tau^2=(1-\frac{r_s}{r})c^2dt^2-(1-\frac{r_s}{r})^{-1}dr^2-r^2(d\theta^2+\sin^{2}\theta{d}\phi^2)[/math] Let's see how far you have to get to get a flat space. [math]r_2=2G\frac{M}{c^2}[/math], so: [math]c^2\tau^2=(1-2G\frac{M}{{c^2}r})c^2dt^2-(1-2G\frac{M}{{c^2}r})^{-1}dr^2-r^2(d\theta^2+\sin^{2}\theta{d}\phi^2)[/math] So, we want to get [math]{1-2G\frac{M}{{c^2}r}}=1[/math]. That's obviously not going to work since it needs an infinite radius. So, there's no distance away that will not be affected. The question is how little do you want it affected?

silverghoul1 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 lets give it a good 10 square feet. Also thank you, i would never be able to do this for my life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Cordochorea Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Some folk at NASA have attempted to create a 10mm warp bubble with a 1:10,000,000 space-time purturbance. (They were trying to get half of a split laser beam to hit an interferometer sooner than the other by reducing it path length by one micrometer via space warp.) Results of the experiment were inconclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
