5:44 "negative energy has never been observed anywhere in nature"

Talk to me on a Monday morning before I've had my coffee. I'll show you negative energy.

[intellectualiconoclasm]

So all we need to is discover, manufacture, and leash mono-poles. Cool, I hope we're as close to that as people are hyping up right now.

Warp Drive Recipe
Ingredients:
- Substance that can not exist in this universe
- A cool machine

[FinGeeknow]

While I'm all for instellar travel, it is pragmatic to instead wish that we should take a step back and get ourselves to a T1 civilization before even thinking about what we need to go to T2. For this, we really need to start seriously looking at developing an intra-system manufacturing infrastructure. Creating a ship manufacturing area in one of Earth's langrange points, then creating mining vessels which wouldn't need to overcome the gravity well would do miracles for our exploration of the system. At that point, setting up a mineral processing facility on Phobos which those mining vessels can deliver to would be next. Then we just need transportation and engineering ships depending on where those processed minerals should go.

What's sad is that we could literally start doing this today if it wasn't for global geopolitics.

warp drive is cake.
anybody that drank coffee after a night of taco bell has experienced warp speed.

surfing the grav waves is another one of those "just 30 years away"-forever things

Okay, so all we need to do is create a black hole in front of a ship, with its connecting white hole behind the ship. A localized wormhole, but instead of traveling thru it from one point to another, you use and travel with the entire system overall. Self propulsion, if you will. The black hole in front is kept at a certain distance from the vessel, which is surrounded by a "warp bubble", it pulls in the warp bubble itself, while the white hole is kept a certain distance behind the vessel, pushing it from behind. The space inside the warp bubble is kept still, so space will move around this localized pocket of space time, black/ white holes included. The mass/ energy of the black hole will be equalized by the negative mass/ energy of the white hole, so you would need to surround these two objects in a cylindrical "warp tunnel" that would entangle the two together enough to allow them to travel faster than light. Think of a warp tunnel, at the entrance is a black hole, in the center is a warp bubble that holds the contained positive mass and energy of the traveling vessel and crew, and at the exit of the tunnel is an entangled white hole. In order to stop traveling with this method tho, you would need to collapse the two holes together to cancel each other out, which could potentially cause damage to the local area upon arrival. The gravitational waves of such a collision is also a danger factor. Unless... you build containment rings, such as the rings around the vessel, like shown on the enterprise model in the video, that enclose the white and black holes in a "nullifying field" that cancels out their pulls and pushes. This would require 4 singularities to accomplish tho... you would also need to figure out how to manipulate and control the gravitational affects of said singularities in order to gain such capabilities. Then again... the black hole and the white hole will already create a wormhole thru space time, technically going straight thru the apparent location of the traveling vessel. Pull the walls of this wormhole "out" far enough and you'll pull both singularities into the wormhole as well, letting them cancel each other out without harming anything, potentially. It's still unknown where the wormhole actually "exists", so this could potentially still cause damage in an area we aren't aware of yet. But it would cancel out both singularities and stop the forward motion of the vessel at the destination. We need better ways to contain/ "delete" the singularities to enable safer travel. The black hole in the front of the tunnel would also act as a force field for the vessel against incoming debris, seeing it exit the white hole from the exit of the tunnel. Huh... a literal "worm" "hole". Creating the spacial distortion to build the tunnel is another matter entirely as well tho... much to consider with this one

We know it can be done... mathematically. We simply do not know how to make the machines, and the underlying physics, to do it.

Awesome video thanks from new zealand 🇳🇿

Fusion and/or Antimatter annihilation reactors + an oscillating array of high frequency gravitational wave generators (i.e. high speed rotation of two large high density masses in a magnetic field) = functional warp drive.

[ishaanagrawal]

Warp drive may not even require negative energy if we can just contract space-time in front of the spacecraft and push the aircraft (generate thrust) using super efficient engine and enough fuel.

[johnmckown]

Reminds me long ago of a sci-fi short story. Humanity creates a warp drive. The "static testing" of the initial device warps space, but triggers massive earthquakes which destroys our civilazation.

[markszlazak]

The theory with positive energy and a level much smaller than before has been published three years ago. This video is horrible when it comes to the developments on metrics since the original warp drive paper!

[Ohem]

Wasn’t negative energy observed through the cassimir effect a few years ago? I have a vague memory about it.

Have a pipes that is made of graphene with active reinforcement.

Spin it along the axis, so it's wall is now the floor.

At reletavistic speed.
At one end(and the half that's attached), you add another pipe. That spins counter, and is conecentric with it.

The frame dragging of the spinning pipes, means that at the area the pipe is alone, the space inside it has less zeropoint ambient energy, while at the half that has the other one added in, the frame dragging effects of both partially cancel eachother out, so you have and area where energy accumulate. Rather than getting flung out with the gravity waves. Positive energy.
The other, negative energy, relatively speaking.

Just for information: DR. Miguel Alcubierre is a mexican astrophysic from the UNAM university in Mexico City.

I bet we will beat the light barrier. Just because we don't know how yet doesn't mean it's impossible. Gravitational waves have shown us it is possible. Before the sound barrier people thought all kind of crazy things would happen or prevent it, turns out it's just a bit of turbulence, pressure changes, and accounting for changes on how control surfaces respond. I think we will eventually achieve the same with the light barrier. It's just a larger, harder to achieve challenge. But we will get there.

Excellent content zero. The hard part is waiting I consider the adventure has begun.

[abiscohen]

Amazing video! Very nice touching on the matter....I would love to see a longer, more detailed explanation of it!

3:20 the greatest problem with anti-matter is that it can't be stored long --- not even a day so no matter how expensive production is -- what's it good for if it can't be stored
