NASA Designs Near Light Speed Engine That Breaks Laws Of Physics

The planet Earth isn’t going to be habitable forever. If the human race is going to survive, one day we’ll have to pack up our things, and move to another planet. It sounds easy, until you realize the vastness of space, and even how big our solar system is.

No matter where we’re going in space, we need to travel fast, and not just at the speed of light either. We’re talking about ludicrous speed.

But some researchers have designed an impossible engine that violates the laws of physics. And another group of scientists’ are now saying a warp drive is possible. Is NASA really working on this technology, and what does the future hold for space travel?

We are on social media:

If it works it doesn’t violate or break the laws of physics, it expands it, and our knowledge of it. The laws of physics is just the human observation and our current understanding of it.

So in conclusion, NASA doesn't design near light speed engine that breaks laws of physics

The moment we finally test a warp drive craft that’s when Vulcans will make contact

A year later and it appears that the EM drive has been pretty handily refuted as a feasible means of generating thrust by experts. However, we also just recently successfully generated energy using FUSION so not all is lost!

I've come to a conclusion: Nothing "breaks" the laws of physics. It just works on laws we don't know yet. That's why science fiction often becomes science fact.

[milsimmusic]

Something my physics professor taught me. The laws of physics are more like guidelines. Depending on environmental properties they can be bent, broken, expanded, and rewriten they aren't necessarily finite. You can't exist in 2 spaces at once; unless your a quantum particle. You can go faster than the speed of light but you can change the speed of light with gravity. Nature itself bends the rules all the time why can't we.

The EM drive was confirmed debunked. When the test models were activated, they produced a small amount of heat which led to the materials expanding slightly. When researchers accounted for this effect, there was absolutely zero forces produced by the device.

If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You most look outward if you wanna be successful in life.

The title is deceiving

EM Drive: "We built something that we'd never thought would work, and it still doesn't work. But if fairies exist, maybe it will work." Oh and even if it worked, it probably wouldn't go near the speed of light.

Ion Drive: Not anywhere near the speed of light.

Nuclear Drive: Most promising so far, but it's not developed by NASA

[DMS-pq]

People who think this is impossible should remember that we went from depending on the wind to travel the oceans to nuclear engines in less than two hundred yrs

We are getting ever more closer to discovering Xur’s next location

[MichaelJohnson-dttv]

To Bristen: That’s a Great question. Due to the almost unimaginable distances involved, space is considered to be relatively “empty”. But at anything like the speeds being discussed here, all you’d need is maybe a grain of sand, or maybe something smaller than that. The energy released in a collision would be immeasurable and annihilation would be total. Clearly that’s something that will probably be a completely separate field of study. But we should remember the old adage that if it can’t be conceived of, it’s possible.

[neonshadow]

"It could be that all of this will be a waste of time and money." Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Some times you have to take risks and be wrong because if you try several ideas and one of them actually works, then none of the others were a waste if they led to something that works.

[TubeTAG]

“Do you think we’ll see warp drive in our lifetime or do you think it will be centuries away?” These two statements might not be mutually exclusive. Dramatic life extension is a rather significant field of study itself

[oddjob]

I can't wait for the day I will be able to say "punch it chewie" and just travel 10 lightyears in a matter of minutes

[agustinliden]

I believe and hope that we will see it during our life here on earth.

[xtkirdp]

I don't think we will see warp drive in our lifetime, but if that happens that would be phenomenal.

This video should be titled "When someone who doesn't know what their talking about makes a video about propulsion"

[ananthakrishnanm]

Physics has evolved in the past...it is evolving in the present... it will evolve in the future... man's understanding of nature has no boundaries or fixed laws... thats the beauty of Science... what Science has achieved in the past will lay the foundation to invent and discover more things in the future...

I love how the stock video of someone doing trig on a board is seen as complex.
