  1. Alright guys, there has been an update.

     

    There are some weak-positive results that suggest that light is being warped slightly by the use of an electric field

     

     

     

    The first hour or so are explanations by Dr.Harold White.

     

     

    Moreover, it has been recently discovered that an astronomical amount of negative energy or vacuum energy is present

    at the focal line of an ellipsoid solar panel or mirror... I'm still baffled by this, and reading through papers concerning this topic.

  2. Well, sorry for the long wait, but I have been reading up on one of Harold White's latest papers, "Warp Field Mechanics 102".

     

    To put it simply, he oscillates the density of "exotic" matter and changes the shape of it to reduce the required density to

    that of the Voyager 1 spacecraft (in terms of metric tons). This is still unfeasible, because only minute pseudo-negative pressure

    has been observed (Casimir effect).

     

    I apologize for not being able to post a screenshot of the graph showing this phenomena.

     

  3. The human mind.... God was created so it was easier to understand the things that we were once fearful of. Such examples include natural disasters, unexplainable phenomenae (eclipses)... etc. However, a belief in the supernatural may have also instilled hope in many of our ancestors... so in some way, belief in God may have functioned as an advantage in evolution, thus making us more prone to belief in a supernatural deity/deities. Now, this is just speculation on my part.

  4. Negative energy, however, is required. Now, I'm just speculating, but don't black holes separate particle/anti-particle pairs, with the resulting

    anti-particle being a particle of negative mass and therefore negative energy? If this is the case, does the toropidal capacitor operate like this,

    or does it simply utilize the Caismir effect? I too am unsure of how the capacitor generates warp, and probably will never know as Dr. White

    has signed a non-disclosure agreement.

  5. Becoming a medical doctor is extremely difficult, I too am a sophmore student, and like you, struggle with English. For now, I must say that it is better to focus

    on the present and aim at getting excellent grades.. Medical school comes after University, which in turn, comes after secondary education. Now, I am assuming

    you are 15, and with that said Medical school is way down the road. I myself try not to think of the qualms of getting into med school, and do my very best in the present.

    That is the advice I give to you.

     

    P.S. Nearly all state medical schools are good, they only accept 300 or so applicants of the 3000 that apply. That is a 10% acceptance rate...

     

    Hell, here are the statistics regarding marks at UBC medical school ( the school I want to get admission in.. hopefully).

  6. Well, to my knowledge, the 2012 Noble Prize for Physics was shared by two physicists who used

    quantum entanglements to beat the "uncertainty" state of particles. That entire law that revolves

    around observation of a quantum state (uncertainty) resulting in certainty via probability. Well,

    these guys were able to find a loophole around this principle. However, I do not know how

    something this extraordinary could be done.

  7. A new species will arise over time as the environment changes and as natural selection comes into *BIG* effect. You'd really have to have large amounts of people separated into a different environment. This group of people will thin down, and only those with preferable traits will have a better chance of surviving. Millions of years later, and genetic mutation among those with more "preferable" traits will be more and more evident.. thus "creating" a new species better adapted to this certain environment.

  8. If it is for a high school newsletter than I suggest you talk about general relativity rather loosely and quite informally working up to the possibility of warp drive. You could skip the need for a detailed account of exotic matter in my opinion, basically the idea is that you need negative energy.

     

    The readers will appreciate analogies and diagrams where possible.

    General Relativity? Alright, I'll give it a go on my second paper. Yet that seems to be at tie with the Great Attractor... Nonetheless, I will have to watch some lectures to familiarize myself with that. I humbly thank you for your kind advice. Yet, I have another question. Would I be able to understand General Relativity? I mean I'm proficient enough in Highschool Calculus and Classical Mechanics...

  9. Alright, we'll I'm supposed to be writing an article for my high-school newsletter. Being a lowly novice of physics, I thought I'd right one on the Alcubierre warp drive. Any tips on how to really dumb the physics down? Should I really mention positronium, or any other exotic matter? What about a Miguel Inferormeter and how it curves space-time by its appearance in energized states?

  10. Relativistic effects do not happen inside a "warp bubble". It is true that the amount of energy required was originally thought to be equivalent to Jupiter's mass now, at least in theory, it's just the entire energy output of the US for one year.

     

    There are other problems, anything inside the warp bubble would be exposed to a tremendous amount of EM radiation if they went past light speed and there is that little niggling problem with generating negative energy and mass...

     

    At slower than light speed such a drive would not expose the crew to unacceptable amounts of EM and it would put the entire solar system within easy reach of humans and the nearest stars with a reasonable transit time...

     

    there is a problem with hitting grains of dust at near light speed, a very bad thing...

     

     

    That is absolutely correct. The amount of hawking radiation emitted from the bubble could destroy anything within, if kept at non-subliminal speeds.

     

    I'm not exactly a genius, simply an enthusiast who places science as a favorite subject. With such said, I'm not well informed enough about Quantum physics or relativity to say anything about the matter. I will however, be working on that in the summer; especially with all the schoolwork in the way at present.

     

    No I understand that space could move as it pleases just fine, what I don't see is why space moving allows matter (and not space) to all of a sudden move past light without breaking laws of relativity.

     

     

    The idea is that space/time can travel at any arbitrary speed. galaxies can speed away from each other faster than light, in a space/time warp bubble a material object can travel faster than light because in relation to the space/time surrounding it it is standing still... or something like that... it sounds sillier the more you repeat it...

    Indeed.

  11. Hello, this will be my first article, and I thought I'd write it on one of my favorite topics. Anyway, instead of listening to my rhetoric, lets get right down to the information.

     

     

    This "Warp Drive" I speak of, is actually the same theoretical drive speculated on in one of Miguel Alcubierres' papers. In theory, this warp drive bends space to allow for quick travel between two points (tesseract). In theory, this drive could propel spacecraft to over one billion million times the speed of light, but would require 10^64 kg of exotic matter (matter that has negative mass). Because of this, warp drive technology has been ignored... until now.

     

    In January of 2013, Howard White discovered that he could reduce the energy requirements to about a metric ton of exotic matter. This was done by oscillating the warp bubble, and slightly changing its shape. As of January, NASA is currently working on building a practical warp drive with the use of an infernometer. All I know about this contraption is that it measures curvature in an area of space. Nonetheless, this is an astonishing discovery and if successful will propel humankind to the stars. Realistically, the only way we can seek to explore the galaxy (or even the Universe) is to utilize some form of travel that is faster than the speed of light. Otherwise, it would take many years to reach the nearest star ( 4.3 ly distance ---> 70,000 years).
