Warp Drives & Wormholes Explained by Brian Cox

Ever since we contrived a scientific understanding of the stars, we began imagining what it takes for humanity to achieve interstellar travel.
But a cosmic dream crusher comes in the form of inconceivable distance. It takes light, the fastest thing there is in the universe, 4.2 years to only reach "Proxima Centauri" the nearest star to the Sun.
But what if there was a faster way? An unconventional approach to this problem entirely?
English physicist who serves as professor of particle physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester, Brian Cox explains the science behind a warp drive and wormholes based on Einstein's general theory of relativity. Brian Cox also explains the science of wormholes and how they can be used as time machines if they truly exist in nature.
Based on a solution of Einstein's field equations in general relativity, theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a speculative warp drive by which a spacecraft could achieve apparent faster-than-light travel if a configurable energy-density field lower than that of vacuum could be created.
Rather than exceeding the speed of light within a local reference frame, a spacecraft would traverse distances by contracting space in front of it and expanding space behind it, resulting in effective faster-than-light travel.
There are papers published in physics that show the total mass needed to deform spacetime would be less than that of our sun. But no one was able to get around the problem of negative energy.
A fascinating possibility based on a special solution of the Einstein field equations is what is called an Einstein-Rosen bridge. Or more famously known, a Wormhole.
A wormhole can be visualized as a tunnel with two ends at separate points in spacetime. Theoretically, a wormhole might connect extremely long distances such as a billion light years, or short distances such as a few meters, or different points in time, or even different universes.
Wormholes are consistent with the general theory of relativity, but whether wormholes actually exist still remains to be seen.

Time is relative to the force of gravity. Wormholes are theoretical but I agree that if we can master gravity we will be able to affect time, but I feel going back in time is impossible.

[@KylieDesire]

The simpliest way to create wormhole is to join many small artificial ones and stabilize them using quantum entanglement. The only problem will be to place 2nd entangled wormhole and connect their centers together. In the series Secrets of the Skinwalker Ranch it is shown, that wormhole can be created, possibly also opened using special frequency on all spectrum with two harmonic pitches. Contracting and retracting spaces for FTL speed needs creation of special bubble around the craft like in the Star Trek. Particles dissapear and reappear in some medium, also entangled ones communicate faster than FTL.

We have seen 2 black holes collide in 2020. And they formed one biggie in a giant gamma burst.(one that even squeezed our earth, proving gravitational waves) The accretion-walls (to almost 2-d compressed mass) maybe for a femto-second or so, formed some sort of Einstein-Rosen bridge, before it collided into one. But a wormhole still would be blocked by the mass of its core which is necessary to form the event horizon. it would be an even "tighter squeeze" during the transition from one to the other "black hole" as those cores, which "connect" the holes to a "tunnel" would spin around each other, until they collide.And that is, IF they do not collide immediately. The Alcubierre Drive uses a somehow Indestructible ship, simulating these two cores.one pulls space apart, and one pulls it together again, after it passed the distance between those two Rings. Those rings(or its magnetic/energetic insides) would have to counter-rotate, to enable course stability. So space would travel in Infinity-sign shape around it. curious side effect: we would "hoover up" every particle on our way. just like a black hole. it is pretty much asking for a collision with something not calculated in advance, as our signal could not penetrate our own "Mass" without being scattered. Hard times for the Navigator.

[@Legion_Victrix]

Only guessing here but if we happened to be able to create wormholes, given the fact that the universe is expanding, it could be quite hard to contain these wormholes as the universe would stretch around them and a both of their ends.

It's simple enough to come up with a particle theory of gravity. There is a symbol called a mandorla which is the area of overlap between two overlapping circles. The mandorla is the common ground between two different points of view.

[@justinwhite368]

I suppose one could call the equivalence principle a fudge factor which ignores the distinction between inertial mass and gravitational mass. Inertial mass remaims the same, but gravitational mass varies so there is some difference to them that is more than meets the eye. Gravitational mass appears to be induced somehow, perhaps by absorbing gravitons.

Here is a small part of Quantum Kinetic Dipole Particle Theory and a small view into the actual particle theory of gravity used by NASA in the 1980s and 1990s before it went Black Project, AC Gravity LLC ... Worm Holes Do Not Exist and EM COMPRESSION "WARP DRIVES" HAVE BEEN FLYING FOR 30 YEARS.: Warp Drives Have Existed For ~~30 Years and were Developed Under NASA / DoD Strategic Defense Initiative SDI "Star Wars" Research Programs. NASA Scientist "Ning Li" is "The Mother of Gravity Modification" Drives and she passed away a month ago in Huntsville where she conducted "Anti Gravity" Research, and I am making her work public so you can build one. WARP DRIVES are better called "Quantum Electromagnetic Kinetic Dipole Compression Drives". WAPR DRIVES use Non Conductive Substrates (Disks like a torus) spinning at 5000- 50000 RPM and are imbedded with Nano Sized Superconductors such as Bob Lazar's E115 which is really the Best Superconductor at the time Bob worked on USA "UFOs"... E115 == Y124 = Yttrium 1 Barium 2 Copper 4 Oxide which has a "Molar Mass of 666 grams/mole ". The spinning superconductors compress the EM Field Dipoles to make a large Electromagnetic Dipole Energy Density Gradient around the Drone! Electromagnetic Dipole Energy Density Gradients causes an uneven vacuum energy on the drone (GRAVITY). A net force acts on the drone. This delta vacuum energy is used as propulsion. This method can pull 50g's and these Chinese UAP Weapons and USA Black Triangles can do 10,000 mph in atmosphere and 100,000 mph in Low Earth Orbit altitudes and these drones have been seen moving 80,000 feet in 1 second start to stop by multiple witness on multiple incidents! These superconductors are hit with Microwave RF via waveguide to control the polarity of the densified EM fields (Compressed Torus Shaped Field Surrounding Drone) and the drone moves in the direction of the polarity just like a photon. In fact the Chinese UAP Hypersonic Kill Vehicles are the World First Photon Torpedoes meaning the Drone is surrounded by an EM field shaped like a 10 meter wide Photon! The Drone is carried inside an artificial Photon at 50g's. The UAPs in the news are the Chinese version of stolen USA Warp Drive Tech. The UAPs are weaponized hypersonic kill vehicles based on 1990s SDI Star Wars Tech. Warp Drives are real and have been flying for 30 years. Let me say that again EM COMPRESSION WARP DRIVE HAVE BEEN FLYING FOR 30 YEARS We are going to discuss the internal workings of Chinese and USA UFO/UAP Warp Drives on the @FiringRoom1 a soon to air "podcast" inspired by one of the Launch Controllers from Apollo and Skylab that knew about NASA Warp Drive Projects from the 1970s and 1980s but the High Temp Superconductor Breakthrough of the 1980s made the "WM Compression / Warp Drive take flight at S-4 / Area 51 where Bob Lazar worked on it 100%.

On the warp drive part if we developed very specific technologies simultaneous I believe it would only take fifty years or so. We also need a interplanetary infrastructure along the way for the necessary resources and technologies. Theoretical physicist always overkill to protect themselves.

[@shawns0762]

I don't think warp drives will ever be possible, the good news is that it is not needed. For some reason most people don't know there is a realistic method for interstellar travel. If a ship travels at a constant 1g acceleration rate it would get to Alpha Centauri in 3.6 ship/7.3 Earth years (and that includes turning the ship around half way and decelerating) and it would have gravity the whole way. The ship would achieve about .95 light speed after about 1 year. All that's needed for this is a fission rocket that can put out thrust for long periods and does not consume hydrogen. A 10 ton ship would need a mere 10 tons of continuous thrust. 1kg of uranium has the same energy as 120,000 tons of coal and plutonium has a lot more than that, you would not need a lot for the trip. To see a new fission rocket concept watch "best method for interstellar travel" and "liquid plutonium rocket".

[@clementvining2487]

You are talking about time dialation but you have a few thing wrong. The faster you go time dialation increases but gravity depends on acceleration and deceleration not speed so when you reach max speed the gravity stops. So then you have no gravity until you start decelerating. And also the time dialation has to do with speed so it is not constant while acceleration and deceleration. This long in a micro gravity it would be hard for the crew to survive. Now this can be adjusted with a gravity wheel but in the manner you said will not work. There is also something else you are completely discounting. The faster you go the more relativity mass builds up and the harder it is to maintain 1g. You are using the positives and discounting the nagitive effects. As for warp drive never being possible is total nonsense there is actually nothing in physics that totally counts out faster than light travel except we don't know how to do it at this time. This saying it violates the laws of physics is wrong it doesn't. All the laws of physics is based on models in physics but they are relative. Passing light speed is a speed limit relative to spacetime geometry. You simple outlook is wrong. There are exceptions in nature we already know about all the relative conditions for the different spacetime geometry distortion already exist in nature and we seem to be able to learn to copy nature and add to it. The same as passing sound it is us producing the barrier. Our use of newtonian physics is what stops us from passing light we are making the barrier. And if you are going to state properties about time travel paradoxs that is mathematical nonsense it has nothing to do with reality. You take all the particles out of space there is still something there. Spacetime is physical it is not non physical like most naysayer think. It is the foundation of the universe it is nether matter nor energy it is kind of like a liquid and a gas and nether it is somewhere in between. It stritches, curves compresses, contracts, expands it is dynamic. You have a simple outlook that doesn't reflect reality. Now most mainstream physicist would disagree there livelihood depends on things staying the way they are with small changes over time. But never the less everything I said is true.

[@clementvining2487]

Another thing liquid Plutonium rockets is not the most efficient rocket we know of it is antimatter catalyzed fusion with a hybrid boussard scramjet. And it is a lie we can't make enough antimatter the antimatter made now is for research only it has very specific standards for experimentation. A 2 billion dollar factory can be built solar powered with the new technologies able to produce 5 to 10 grams per year on earth with a effecency of 2 % compared to like 10000 to one now. This is cost effective enough to make it comparable to chemical rockets after you account for dry weight and fuel. We can only get 2% payload into orbit now. But this is the thing antimatter catalyzed fusion only takes about a thousand times less antimatter to do the same work. Why do we not do this political dogma and fear antimatter makes nuclear bomb look like a toy overstating it a bit. But antimatter is so dense in energy it is a hundred times the energy of a nuclear explosion per mass unit. But even this is misleading this density is so great it will cause fusion in normal hydrogen in the area of the detonation. The rocket would be variable impulse to be the most efficient solution.

"We need a paradigm shift in materials and ideas." This basically means "a civilization is only as good as the material it uses". "New materials are the basis for all emerging technologies".

Also some of the moons around other planets like Jupiter and Saturn, one of the moons has an ocean underneath but not as you know and it could have either bacteria or larger life, we don't know yet under the surface of that moon.

[@101Mant]

You can literally see gravity warp spacetime with gravitational lensing. The model we have that calculates how things move through spacetime based on it warping works really well and has been extensively tested. Like anything in science it could be replaced with a different model in the future, but all current evidence supports that the geometry of spacetime is changed by these presence of mass and energy, often referred to as the fabric.

[@TimoRutanen]

Tourist flights are a good way to raise money for research. And to get people behind the idea of space research.

[@clementvining2487]

Space is mostly empty of matter not energy. But it has energized matter. It has particles and atoms but a lot farther apart. Plasma from the sun the solar winds it is slightly dielectric it has free floating magnetic fields. Space geometry that distorts to the gravity of the planets and sun. Going near light particles the size of a grain of sand well put holes in the ship the size of your hand. But Alcubierre's warp drive and Sonny whites version supose to deflect this. Worm holes is a hole through space. Out of all possible way of going pass light warp drive is the most possible within the laws of physics. Warp drive and worm holes are not the same kind of spacetime geometry distortions.

[@clementvining2487]

Tourist flights into space well help develope a space infrastructure. We need a space infrastructure to develop these technologies. It is more than know how you need the resources a interplanetary infrastructure well provide those resources by necessity. Also specific technologies needed to make interplanetary travel more efficient well bleed off to warp drive technology. One example is you need antimatter for antimatter catalyzed fusion. Fusion is always 30 years ahead antimatter catalyzed fusion is a enormous boost to fusion. Then we have to get away from steam conversion to electricity. It is very inefficient we need direct conversation from fusion to electricity from enormous static electric discharges buffered and then diverted to usable energy. We need small reactors that produces electricity in the terawatt range. For about 2 billion we can build a solar powered antimatter factory with new technology for fuel not research. It can produce about 5 to 10 grams per year. Antimatter made this way with a antimatter carbon isotope as a attraction mass in a trap with a passive cooling ring. Anyway this makes antimatter as cost effective as chemical rockets when used as a heat source. But if you use it in antimatter catalyzed fusion you need about a thousand times less for the same work. So from there you build antimatter factories at the radiation belts of Jupiter you can make kilograms per year. Jupiters radiation belt does most of the work for you. Then get all the fusion fuel you need from jupiters atmosphere.

Worm Holes Do Not Exist and EM COMPRESSION "WARP DRIVES" HAVE BEEN FLYING FOR 30 YEARS.: Warp Drives Have Existed For ~~30 Years and were Developed Under NASA / DoD Strategic Defense Initiative SDI "Star Wars" Research Programs. NASA Scientist "Ning Li" is "The Mother of Gravity Modification" Drives and she passed away a month ago in Huntsville where she conducted "Anti Gravity" Research, and I am making her work public so you can build one. WARP DRIVES are better called "Quantum Electromagnetic Kinetic Dipole Compression Drives". WAPR DRIVES use Non Conductive Substrates (Disks like a torus) spinning at 5000- 50000 RPM and are imbedded with Nano Sized Superconductors such as Bob Lazar's E115 which is really the Best Superconductor at the time Bob worked on USA "UFOs"... E115 == Y124 = Yttrium 1 Barium 2 Copper 4 Oxide which has a "Molar Mass of 666 grams/mole ". The spinning superconductors compress the EM Field Dipoles to make a large Electromagnetic Dipole Energy Density Gradient around the Drone! Electromagnetic Dipole Energy Density Gradients causes an uneven vacuum energy on the drone (GRAVITY). A net force acts on the drone. This delta vacuum energy is used as propulsion. This method can pull 50g's and these Chinese UAP Weapons and USA Black Triangles can do 10,000 mph in atmosphere and 100,000 mph in Low Earth Orbit altitudes and these drones have been seen moving 80,000 feet in 1 second start to stop by multiple witness on multiple incidents! These superconductors are hit with Microwave RF via waveguide to control the polarity of the densified EM fields (Compressed Torus Shaped Field Surrounding Drone) and the drone moves in the direction of the polarity just like a photon. In fact the Chinese UAP Hypersonic Kill Vehicles are the World First Photon Torpedoes meaning the Drone is surrounded by an EM field shaped like a 10 meter wide Photon! The Drone is carried inside an artificial Photon at 50g's. The UAPs in the news are the Chinese version of stolen USA Warp Drive Tech. The UAPs are weaponized hypersonic kill vehicles based on 1990s SDI Star Wars Tech. Warp Drives are real and have been flying for 30 years. Let me say that again EM COMPRESSION WARP DRIVE HAVE BEEN FLYING FOR 30 YEARS We are going to discuss the internal workings of Chinese and USA UFO/UAP Warp Drives on the @FiringRoom1 a soon to air "podcast" inspired by one of the Launch Controllers from Apollo and Skylab that knew about NASA Warp Drive Projects from the 1970s and 1980s but the High Temp Superconductor Breakthrough of the 1980s made the "WM Compression / Warp Drive take flight at S-4 / Area 51 where Bob Lazar worked on it 100%.
