NASA Designs Near Light Speed Engine That Breaks Laws Of Physics

[@Splashbang_OW]

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.

[@milsimmusic1318]

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.

[@yodamaster757]

Just kinda blew my mind there

[@tis_ace]

Wait, you can change the velocity of light, not the speed with gravity.

[@sipofsunkist9016]

Should word it like this. Quantum particles can exist in multiple places while most normal matter can not. And yes nothing can go faster than the speed of light, how fast it is relative for you doesn’t change this. That’s not bending the laws of physics (because that’s literally impossible) both of these are just more laws that we recently discovered. Not breaking old ones if that makes since (WE CAN BE WRONG AND DISPROVE SOMETHING LATER but that’s not breaking physics, people were just previously ignorant to something) TLDR: the Laws of physics are finite, but what some smart human thought was a law can be found to be kinda off later

[@alexrossouw7702]

So it's like when Newtonian physics explained everything (at the time, pre-1900) until someone found that Mercury's orbit didn't behave as expected according to Newtonian physics. Then Einstein came along and said there's more to the picture. Hence relativity better explained what's going on. But Newton's laws are still laws tho. Newer laws are just like amendments to the existing law book.

@@paulrendell8797 yeah which is why we’d need light speed lanes to keep clear of debris or maybe we use the warp kind of travel, compressive space in front and expanding space behind along clear lanes

[@aqrxv]

@@paulrendell8797 Getting to any high fraction of light speed is probably pretty unlikely anyway. But the interstellar medium - as opposed to the space around the solar system - has very little stuff in it, so it's more like "if unlucky you might hit some microscopic dust" rather than "you're hitting grains of sand." Some studies of this suggest that it's a bit of a problem if you're zipping about with a multi-kilometer wide light sail (big, thin target) but otherwise at about 10% of light speed some relatively light-weight shielding should deal with the sort of obstacles you are likely to encounter. Of course, this does mean you'll need a century or so to get even a fairly nearby star. Some propulsion designs especially those that can be built with a narrow frontal area and no need for big sails or radiators should be able to carry shielding sufficient for 20% to 30% of light speed. Beyond that, well, making advanced material technology and hardened electronics is probably actually easier than making the propulsion system and power sources...

[@MichaelJohnson-dt8tv]

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.

[@IndigenousUndergroundPrimate]

According to Einstein, information cannot travel faster than light. To affect a piece of dust coming at you at near light speed (99.999%) by the time it is recognized & eliminated or moved, it would have to be done at FTL speeds (impossible). Good luck trying to visit the stars when every cubic meter of "space" in the galaxy has between two and six atoms of Hydrogen.

Not great wording and also not true. What you're basically saying is that literally _anything_ is possible. There are limits when it comes to physics. There's just no way to exceed those limits. The EM drive is one of those examples. It does "work" but it's useless because its limited. For it to actually fully work to its potential, we'd need to make it infinitely more inefficient. Physics isn't something that just goes "oh hey, ya sure ill make it possible" at the snap of a finger. Another notorious limit is the Hadron collider. Collide too many atoms and/or the wrong ones will create a black hole. Because of us humans, there are limits. If you are god, then the black hole's creaton means nothing, but because we're mortals it means certain extinction of the human race. In conclusion, and to put it less dramatically, anything is possible, though it can mean the extinction of the human race.

Remember with all these advances and wants, we move farther and farther from our lives now, and as I am starting to see, there are consequences with are forward movement. For you young ones, I remember entering into high school and personal computers we're starting to be made available in schools, I remember the Apple 2 and the Apple 2E and then the macintosh. Back then all this was so exciting and great and very addictive , then I remember when the Internet 1st came round and was made avaliable to the public, good old AOL, 😝😆 So what I'm saying is in such a long time when the time I was born there was my online telephones there was no cell phones heck a pager was a big deal when I was young . I graduated in 1984 and thought none of these things would have a bad effect on society and only good would come of all this matter fact I was confident a 100% of it. Now I look at how the world is and how divided and stubborn everybody has become how harmful Internet and cell phones can be as we are discovering all these new downsides. I wasn't worried about global warming I didn't care I used wasted thru things away right on the side of the highways, it wasn't my problem. All I'm telling you right now is Exactly how I felt back then. All these big changes really came within about 35 years people that's not that long and what how much damage there really yes. At the same time I love the idea of AI and can see many uses. I also worry about how much truly downside there's gonna be from all that. How much of the core soul and humanity are we gonna lose in the next 100 to 500 years. I remember watching terminator and thinking how scary that was but it could never happen not a mine at lifetime. Then I remember I think in the nineties when I Robot came out and I'm like yeah there's no way we'll see that kind of devbut meant, but we're knocking on the door right now. With all these advancements the amount of diseases we have obesity all across the major developed countries how unhealthy people are, I ended up With crowns by the time I turned 20 years old but I've managed it. But what I'm wondering is what more are we gonna have to lose of what I feel is the core of what makes us order to get To that final point before what we hope is good. No I am told that I actually will be alive by the time the planet heats up to the 1.5ﾟ mark. Wow And I have to face that I know my son will probably be around when the global warming hits past the 2ﾟ I wonder what the world's gonna be like when I'm gone then and how much suffering there's really gonna because the turnaround isn't gonna be fast enough any longer from the modeling that they've done. So I'm gonna leave you with this be careful what you wish for and I truly believe there is such a thing as karma and it has a way of finding people. I don't want English it's to be around by the time we actually land people on verse, but what I want to be some of the 1st people to do that absolutely not I don't know why anybody would want to be the 1st to do it when there is a very good chance that none of them will ever make it back To Earth. I would miss the little things that we can enjoy here the sun on our face a cold glass of water for me Mountain Dew a sunrise sunset being able to paddle at Canoe and most of all eat the foods that I enjoy. I'm not ready to give up my movies, Or stop living my life the way that I enjoy now. Adventure is The key purpose to really living a fulfilled life but throwing it away on a barren plan it is not my idea of the Marvel and glory that we had when we made it to the moon and came back.

Actually they've eliminated the possibility of thermal radiation causing the detected thrust. However, they think they've identified what it is, it's reacting to the Earths magnetic field. As such, it's of no use for interstellar travel. On the other hand, it could be useful for satellites around a world with a decent magnetic field like Earth. Satellites often end their useful life because of the expenditure of all reaction mass. The EM could possibly eliminate that issue.

My proposal is to utilize the force that drives the sauce to the shirt to propel a spacecraft forward through the depths of the universe. The proposal is simplicity itself. Simply suspend, from a pole hung out in front of the spacecraft, a net containing spaghetti well drenched in marinara sauce while the nose of the spacecraft is covered with white dress shirts. The force attracting the red sauce onto the white shirts will propel the spacecraft forward indefinitely, especially if a means is provided continuously to replenish the sauce on the spaghetti and the white shirts covering the nose of the spacecraft.

In March 2021, physicists at the Dresden University of Technology (Germany) published three papers claiming that all results showing thrust were false positives explained by outside forces, When power flows into the EmDrive, the engine warms up. This also causes the fastening elements on the scale to warp, causing the scale to move to a new zero point. We were able to prevent that in an improved structure. Our measurements refute all EmDrive claims by at least 3 orders of magnitude. Additionally, the Dresden University scientists were able to replicate apparent thrusts similar to those measured by the NASA team, and then make them disappear again when measured using point suspension.

You’ve been to space and traveled in a vacuum, only in your deepest imagination, it’s called the impossible engine because that’s exactly what it is, it’s funny how they explain that push is what causes motion yet they invoke that “gravity” and why things fall is due to a pull, there’s no such force as pull, pull is merely a descriptor of something being pushed towards you, a pressure is needed to cause motion, no motion without push, all space travel is pathetic gibberish

About the Star Trek reference, The "Warp core" is just the power plant, the matter-antimatter explosions don't propel a ship. The ships have missive conduits, like a wiring harness, that move plasma from the warp core, to the warp nacelles, the nacelles do the work of "WARPING" space in front and behind it. The current idea of using matter-antimatter explosions to propel a ship are different from the idea used in Star Trek! The current idea of using matter-antimatter explosions is like the nuclear bomb idea, both are simple, set off explosions behind the ship, the matter-antimatter explosion would just be more efficient, because it uses 100% of the fuel. The matter-antimatter process in Star Trek is different, They use dilithium as a controlled environment for the matter-antimatter explosion and harness the energy as plasma, that is moved to the warp nacelles, (Think of a photovoltaic cells, this is some of what dilithium is facilitating), in which the part you explain miguel alcubierre's warp drive takes place.

For heaven's sake, there is no "pushing off" anything, it's just Newton's law of every action having an equal and opposite reaction. Another way to look at it is that the centre of mass of both the spaceship and all the propellent it has exhausted hasn't moved at all, it's just as the propellent goes further away in one direction. The spaceship will go in the other direction such that the centre of mass stays the say. A simple scenario that's easy to calculate is to imagine yourself on an infinite friction less surface and you three a baseball. The baseball goes quickly in one direction while you in the other direction but calculate where the centre of mass is of both you and the baseball and it has never moved. Rocket propulsion just spreads mass out and it's just a matter of what spreads in what direction for the rest to go in the desired direction. Once you include other mass in a system such as "pushing off" something, calculate the centre of mass of everything in the system including whatever you so called pushed off from and the centre of mass would still be unmoved, likewise ifvthepropellent or spaceship interacts with any other mass. You have to include that other mass and whatever that other mass interacts with into the calculation and you will see that overall nothing really moved, it all just spreads out. The EM drive violates this as everything in the system moves in the same direction and thus the centre of mass of the system moves and this should be impossible. Keep in mind, although the experiments done with the EM drive shows a slight propulsion, it's well within the margin of error of no propulsion at all and is about the same as the propulsion you would get from one from a penlight shining photons in one direction.

[@guytech7310]

There is one method that can accelerate masses without a propellent: gravity. Granted, gravity can not be used to accelerate space craft to other stars, but does provide a method to accelerate objects without a propellent. Perhaps there might just be another method that we haven't discovered. Another possibility is if the a constant like the permeability of free space can be changed locally which might enable spacecraft to travel with less propellent. Then there is a of course the option of slow boats: Large multi-generational ships (perhaps made out large asteroids that take thousands of years to reach other stars. If the goal is to populate other worlds over then next 10M years, that is very feasible.

@@ltmoistlipsiii5387 Most of the problems with jet fighters are to do with manouvers that rack up considerable G forces. A commercial jet can fly at those speeds but their manouvers are very slow and gentle so they don't cause the G forces. When it comes to light speed, or any speed in a straight line for that matter, Acceleration and deceleration are the only real factors. But to prevent a human body becoming nothing but a mark on the bulkhead, acceleration/deceleration would have to be so slow that it would take weeks or months to complete. There would be no changes in direction, the ship itself would tear apart if you tried.

[@Three_Random_Words]

It's just a theory, some theories end up being wrong. Also, the tech to build a theoretical drive may be out of reach for several thousands of years or forever unpractical/not doable. This video is a year old, even then the EM drive was proven to be a bunch of BS. Of course, hard facts don't really matter to the vid creator and most viewers of it and the commentators. Channels like this are the domain of basic science illiterates. This is a quick bux channel catering to rubes and nothing more.

[@CartoonHero1986]

I think warp drive invention is gonna be one of those things that is discovered as a result of a major accident. We'll be working on some kind of high energy generation project; something will go critical and boom! It will just then take us decades to figure out that the reaction could be used in a warp drive, and then it will probably take us decades or even centuries after that to harness and make the reaction useable for practical FTL travel on vessels. I just don't see humanity inventing something like warp drive with out blowing themselves and proto types up A LOT before we finally get it right and start to master the technology needed.

Here’s the thing, the universe is filled with particles flying here and there. So, for a vessel to go faster than light would have to be made of exotic matter that has an infinite electron degenerate pressure to overcome the impacts of those particles onto the vessel. Not to mention also everything observable outside the vessel would be pitch black.

Recently, Google has created a "time stone" with their quantum computer that's said to hugely advance our knowledge of physics. That would help in advancing warp drive technology, but even with that, it would probably take another century or two before a working model comes out. We still have yet created the technology required to hold the mass and power needed to make the warp drive work. Also there won't be any form of thrust when it comes to the alcubiere drive. Space time contracts in the front and expands in the back. In other words, space itself is moving, not the ship. Now you see why it takes so much mass and power to do that. Especially to make a literal physical "bubble" around it.

Seems like bull shit. The only warp drive plans I've seen involve negative mass matter. Quantum computers take advantage the properties that regular mass has on the quantum level. Any warp drive I've seen requires a hypothetical material that has anti gravity properties. There is no evidence of anything like that anywhere in the observable universe, and no one can even come up with a hypothetical way it could be made.

[@Alexandar358]

[@Unmannedair]

Time crystals and warp drives aren't related at all. If you'll remember the first law... Anything at rest remain at rest until acted on by an outside force and anything in motion will remain in motion unless acted on. Most matter follows the first part. The time crystals are an arrangement of matter that follows the second part. If you want to see a cool demonstration of a similar concept then lookup self synchronizing metronome array. Similar concept, just backwards. If time crystals help anything, then it will be in the development of an actual Mach drive.

No the term laws of physics is itself an oxymoron. Did you know that Dark energy breaks the law of conservation of energy. It turns out that all conservation laws is just an artifact of mathematical symmetry and they can be broken if the symmetry is broken. They should replace the term "laws of physics" with "properties of symmetry" because that is what they really are properties of a mathematical concept express in the real world.
