anyone have any ideas?

1)wormholes?

 

2)teleportation?

 

3)space folding?

 

4)hyperspace?

Whats hyperspace? Space folding is probably the most feasible.

Its like in "Babylon 5"

I only saw five minutes of Babylon five, then i shot my TV in rage.

1)wormholes like in "Farscape"

 

2)teleportation like in "Startrek'

 

3)Space Folding like in "Dune"

 

4)Look above

Then theres your problem, they use some king of portals to move really fast in another layer of space called hyperspace.

Star trek uses space folding, but they call it warp drive.

i thought they move faster than light...I mean space folding like in "Dune' movie

never seen Dune. On Star Trek, they move faster than light.

They also neatly sidestep a load of scientific problems, such as relativity/time dilation and the transporters are quite amusing

Warp drive is the ideal solution to going faster than light but still obeying relativity, and then they had to go and say "oh yeah and you can go FTL with impulse engines too", the fools.

Two words: "Heisenberg compensator".

Hey, if it works...

 

There are several in-jokes about that, and they're all beautifully oblique.

I heard a producer or somesuch being interviewed on a documentary the other day. The dialogue went something like this:

 

Interviewer: How does your Heisenberg compensator work?

Producer: Very well thank you.

 

Thought that was rather good

haha. thats a classic.

 

Any, I think the best bet would be wormholes. Apparently they are being created all the time around us. be it in quantum space. my physics teacher told me that you need a lot of negative energy to enlarge the worm hole and keep it open. and u never know where and when the wormholes gonna end up.

What about space folding?Has anyone seen or read dune?

Yes and yes.

 

What about space folding?

Don't the Borg use some sort of wormhole warp to hit high speeds? You know, custom-make wormholes so they can get places instantaneously?

 

 

Never read Dune.

The Borg use transwarp conduits, the exact workings of which have never been explained in detail.

don't the xindi use almost the same thing?

Again, they used an ill-defined method of travel that had a suggestive name. Portals or something.

Im not sure if Im farmiliar with space folding, but is it where space is warped kind of closer (like a blanket folding in to make a deep ditch)?

That would be a two-dimensional representation, yeah.

 

People seem to have trouble imagining a 3D volume being warped, for some reason.

lol, how would one go about warping 3 dimensional space. But then again you cant warp space without warping time, so how would one go about warping 4 dimensional space? lol

put matter where u want it to warp
