Warp Speed, Scotty? Star Trek's FTL Drive May Actually Work

[Jimbuna]

That was the Geman article:

http://www.focus.de/wissen/weltraum/...id_985901.html

They say the mass of this particle is within a value margin where it could destabilise vacuum itself - and by that it could make the universe collapsing. This theory is based on calculations done by Sidney Coleman and Frank de Luccia in 1980. Wikipedia links their names to this article about the so-called "false vacuum".

That is not one but two hijacking articles. Double facepalm, please!

P.S. Google also gives this: http://www.physics.princeton.edu/~st...anDeLuccia.pdf Don'T ask me to explain the formulas, I cannot.

If it does actually work, we've got to call the place 'slipstream space', and have the FTL drive made by two guys with the surnames 'Shaw' and 'Fujikiwa'. Ok?

You want to see FTL speed? You should see my Suzuki when I wake up late for work. It can bend time and space.

Possible physics excuse for when you get pulled over:

"Really, Officer, I wasn't speeding; the earth was just moving really fast..."

Suzikis tend to do that

Well you don't have a whole lot of room to really get on it since Slovenia is so small.

If you change Distortion with Confusion...the acronym is C.C.C.P

SOVIETS! I KNEW IT! I saw right through your lies. This is obviously a plot to overthrow the Russian government and return Russia to it's former glory.

C.C.C.P is in Russian Cyrillic you see C.C.C.P is how USSR appears in Cyrillic letters.

Now I will send a burst transmission from the Kremlin only you will be able to see it Red October1984 it will activate the inner sleeper KGB agent hidden in your inner mind with your aid the Soviet Union will invent FTL drives go back in time and crush the capitalist imperialist dogs once and for all......sending transmission.........................
Владимир Путин является моим папой Я также целовать ноги Брежнева международного советско мой брат и сестра Красный Октябрь!
Для C.C.C.P!

No

Besides slipstream space was supposed to be a different dimension, one that threw all previous knowledge of space and time out the window and whose properties defied logic.
