I'm not even going to bother reading anymore... If you ever learnt anything about physics then you would know that it is physically impossible for anything to go faster than the speed of light.

Everything except sanic.
-
Mario is faster than sonic.
-
If you read the article you'd find out it's not if you can warp space-time
-
Well then you are still not moving faster than light. You are not moving at all.
-
Right! Its a loophole.
-
You mean create a fricking worm hole??? Now how we gonna do that???
-
The study of Wumbology!
-
I'd assume that you can probably trust NASA scientists when it comes to physics. The idea isn't to actually have mass moving faster than the speed of light.
-
Yeah but things like wormholes or in this case warp bubbles are also physically impossible.
-
Why is that? All of the ideas behind warp bubbles has been shown to be a very real part of reality. Negative energy has been shown in multiple cases. It is something you can actually experiment with...if you have a readily available vacuum to work with. Wormholes are more fiction than otherwise at that point, but a warp drive is something that can actually be made.
-
It can't... If a device was to be made it would be going faster than the speed of light which once again, is impossible.
-
You're missing the point. Nothing within the bubble is going faster than the speed of light. No mass within the bubble is actually moving in a non-cyclical manner. By that, I mean the only movement within the bubble is the movement being made by arbitrary things, such as a person walking around or a pencil rolling off of a desk. There is no contradiction in physics in the idea of the warp drive. There might be problems with it that appear on a large scale specifically dealing with space-warping and the use of negative energy, but it is physically possible.
-
What do you mean by a non cyclical manner?
-
I just mean that all the movement is contained within the bubble itself and ultimately accounts to 0. You walk around in the ship, return to your seats, that's all the movement you have actually made. This is true even if the warp drive is being used.
-
So what your saying is is that we become completely still while the universe moves around us?
-
I suppose that is one way of looking at it, but we can still move around and the universe isn't really being moved by the bubble. It's just the volume of space we happen to be inhabiting. I'll admit, it isn't exactly intuitive.
