Tesseract Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 anyone have any ideas? 1)wormholes? 2)teleportation? 3)space folding? 4)hyperspace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Whats hyperspace? Space folding is probably the most feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 Whats hyperspace? Space folding is probably the most feasible. Its like in "Babylon 5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 I only saw five minutes of Babylon five, then i shot my TV in rage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 1)wormholes like in "Farscape" 2)teleportation like in "Startrek' 3)Space Folding like in "Dune" 4)Look above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 I only saw five minutes of Babylon five, then i shot my TV in rage. Then theres your problem, they use some king of portals to move really fast in another layer of space called hyperspace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Star trek uses space folding, but they call it warp drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 never seen Dune. On Star Trek, they move faster than light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 They also neatly sidestep a load of scientific problems, such as relativity/time dilation and the transporters are quite amusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 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.

Dave Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Two words: "Heisenberg compensator". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hey, if it works... There are several in-jokes about that, and they're all beautifully oblique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodhound Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 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.

Tesseract Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 What about space folding?Has anyone seen or read dune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Yes and yes. What about space folding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 The Borg use transwarp conduits, the exact workings of which have never been explained in detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 don't the xindi use almost the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Again, they used an ill-defined method of travel that had a suggestive name. Portals or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MolecularMan14 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 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)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 That would be a two-dimensional representation, yeah. People seem to have trouble imagining a 3D volume being warped, for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MolecularMan14 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 put matter where u want it to warp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
