    The sooner you start pleasing our future OVERLORD , The Algorithm, the better it will be for you and your's. Oh and Xmas is around the corner so save the whole family!
    p.s it also helps support this lowly minion of the Algorithms will.
    p.p.s Prices are the recommended ones from teespring.

    Alien: But, how can something exist as two things at once?
    Human: Ok, so you know how both of our species like chili even though it burns like heck?
    Alien: Yeah?
    Human: Well, chili is two things at once, it is both delicious AND painful.

    Using an alcubierre drive in the Sol system, even for something as small as a person, would mess with the gravitational forces of every celestial body nearby. Using FTL of this type to get between Mars and earth would practically guarantee the destruction of both. Aside from that, good story.

    • @alganhar1
      @alganhar1 2 роки тому

      I am guessing you are not actually in Academia.... Not a hard guess to make, because your very statement shows it. Academia is 1) based on data, and 2) VERY competitive.
      Most of the time Consensus opinion is generally 'correct' given what we know. Its why it is 'CONSENSUS'. Or are you going to argue that Climate Change (consensus) is not happening despite the fact that it is actually measurable? We are no longer PREDICTING it, we are seeing it happen, in glorious 3d.....
      Usually people going against 'consensus' in Science are full of shit. Occasionally they are right, but they are the exception, not the norm.
      Oh, I know few Scientists (and I am one) who accept ANYTHING as absolute fact. That is something that non Scientists ascribe to us. Usually people who know precisely fuck all about our subjects.... But you go believe what you will.

      The academic fraud and failure at the beginning of the global warming alarm, including but not limited to discarding the original data, openly encouraging violating the integrity of the peer review process, makes it very hard to trust the current claims. Miami Beach is still above water.

    Jump drive not warp. One you actually go faster than light.
    Warp is the loop hole of space has no speed limit.
    But with going faster than light, you cant be slowed down without the same tech, but you also don’t need to keep the drive on. The only problem is acceleration. You need a strong engine, or use the drive at lower than ftl.
    Jump drive lowers your mass, so only a small amount of energy relative to light speed needed.
    Imagine having ten gees for a one million mega tonne ship, and its now as heavy as a piece of paper. Well you cant go faster than light as an atom would take infinite energy for light speed, but if you accelerate fast enough, you blast past the speed limit.
    So, if your close you can.
    It acts as a latch, being at relative speeds. So if you get close, you need more energy to speed up less faster and so on until you need a star of energy for just a millimeter a second faster. But if you reduce your mass to a paper clip, and your allready shooting kill the crew and crush the ship gs, And activate the drive, no one would get crushed as they dont have the mass for accelleration to crush them and you blast past the speed limit getting stuck on faster than light.
    Then, it less energy to go faster, since the speed of light has the same rules but its the minimum speed.
    With a jump drive, you simply cant be stoped without a shield that lowers mass, and also, the deceleration has to be fast enough, or it will take the energy in the entire universe to stop you, in fact to get you at light speed, which is basically infinite energy

      You obviously need sheilding that can stop attoms hitting you at light speed or more from your perspective.
      Honestly, your better of with deflective sheilding

    • @TheMonk72
      @TheMonk72 6 місяців тому +1

      You seem greatly confused on the basic principles of relativistic mass increase. A paperclip would still take infinite energy to accelerate to C. You're hinting at tachyons at points, I think, but your whole comment is so scattered it's hard to offer constructive criticism.

    I mean, why we are so alone at present isn't that tough a question: look up the Drake equation but use the variables the skeptics would favor for each. No, I'm not saying we will never find intelligent, alien life.
    No, I am not saying all the less favorable variables are true. What I am saying is it may be a great deal more difficult than many are lead to believe. Especially if we it turns out FTL travel is functionally impossible, or at least _way_ further down the probable technological development timeline.
    If you've read this far and fancy writing sci-fi, BOOM. There's your starting point for a story. If there's already a BUNCH like that, forgive a n00b for finding most of the "true believer" stories first. Nor am I knocking the actual story! After all, that first story didn't do things exactly as normal. :D

      Frankly neither side of that particular argument is grounded in anything but mental masturbation with extra steps. We haven't for all practical purposes even tried to look properly yet, our biggest telescopes are less than a thousandth the size of what we could technologically and economically build in a few mere years.
      Once we've built a planet size aperture telescope (with interferometry) and looked for a decade or two we could slightly behind to narrow those Drake equation parameters to make some guessed that aren't pure fantasy.
