Ya know? I was thinkin about your said Stargate. Suppose there is a collider in there, and they create micro black holes, and use it to do something similar to the above of stepping across the Universe? Maybe the Stargate idea has merit! :p

Pfftt! Still not as fast as SUZUKI Hayabusa

Wanna bet? That Z-Machine is also faster! It can accelerate a plate from 0 to 76,000 MPH in 1 second! :p We haven't even begun to talk space time folding!

Beat that on your bike! Even with that ramjet looking thing hanging out the back!

Here are something for you to think about:

Faster than light Look at this image subman1 has in his first posting

That would be impossible

I say that you will not be able to see becasue light(what your eyes sees) goes faster than your eyes can take input from.

that's my theory

How can you say what light would look like there? You must remember that your time and space is slowed down to normal inside the bubble. So maybe you see the traces just like that as it slows to enter your time and space? Think about it.

I m not really sure on this, but didn't Einstein or Hawkin proposed that the time constant is local in a sense that every object and being travels with it's own time bubble around it?

I think that would be a matter of perception. Yours is different from a fly persay. I am no sure if either of them claimed this.

Yes inside a bubble, but I stil say, that you will not be able to see further than the shell is.

IF the shell is 10 metres in front of you, you will only see those 10 metres no more.

Offcourse my theory can't be proven until they make the first warp-test

You first!

Here we go. This may be old even, so they may be in 6 digits by now!

Zero to 76,000 mph in a Second

Scientists at the Sandia National Labs in Albuquerque, New Mexico have accelerated a small plate from zero to 76,000 mph in less than a second.



The speed of the thrust was a new record for Sandia's "Z Machine" - not only the fastest gun in the West, but in the world too.



The Z Machine is now able to propel small plates at 34 kilometers a second, faster than the 30 kilometers per second that Earth travels through space in its orbit about the Sun. That's 50 times faster than a rifle bullet, and three times the velocity needed to escape Earth's gravitational field.


The ultra-tiny aluminum plates, just 850 microns thick, are accelerated at 1010 g. One g is the force of Earth's gravity. Doing so without vaporizing the plates was possible because of the finer control now achievable of the magnetic field pulse that drives the flight.


Z's hurled plates strike a target after traveling only five millimeters, or less than a quarter-inch. The impact generates a shock wave -- in some cases, reaching 15 million times atmospheric pressure -- that passes through the target material. The waves are so powerful that they turn solids into liquids, liquids into gases, and gases into plasmas in the same way that heat melts ice to water or boils water into steam.


One purpose of these very rapid flights is to help understand the extreme conditions found within the interiors of giant planets in our solar system. By creating states of matter extremely difficult to achieve on Earth, the flyer plates provide hard data to astrophysicists speculating on the structure and even the formation of planets like Jupiter and Saturn.



Didier Saumon, an astrophysicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, noted that the internal structures of Jupiter and Saturn are composed mostly of hydrogen. So knowing its equation of state -- how hydrogen and its isotopes behave at pressures from one to 50 million atmospheres -- is highly relevant to how scientists infer the interior properties of these planets.



An upgrade of the Z Machine is planned for next year and is expected to achieve higher plate velocities.

Why don't we let STEED test it

Nah! He would never come back to this Earth, at least not while the labor party is in charge! :p

This theory has been around for quite a long time. The only catch is that it involves a type of energy (negative energy) that we have never detected before in nature but heck.. who knows...
We didn't know about dark matter/dark energy until recently so for all we know... negative energy could also exist. :hmm:

Indeed. I recall a group of German and French scientists (along with one Swedish fellow) that proposed the idea during the late 1980s.

No no no!, why do you think flying saucers are round and small, how can Grey's travel millions of light yrs in a craft that seem would run out of fuel on the first light yr? Well according to some writer i read many years ago in a science mag is that the Greys flying saucers are run on magnets and energy, no fuel. - they have worked out a system where the magnets make the craft fly very fast speeds 1000's of times faster than light they can get from one point to the next that might be 100,000 light yrs away in minutes. Flying or jumping from one galazy to another is nothing to them. In the middle of the craft is a set of magnets all faced in a circle pointing to the main core that sits in the middle. The craft has to be round for the magnets to work.

Well that's what i read, with it explained more scientifically than mine.
