Read this link I found it intresting as it closely matches the lore on New Edens Warp Drive technology.

Thats cool i love to see a first "warp" drive ship in space. Will see how its go, damn it i wish we are already in space.... Love star trek :)

Seems to be exactly what 'nutjobs' have been saying UFOs use to travel for decades now.

I remember this awesome movie that came out a while back, it was called Event Horizon Big smile

*Edit: After reading the link it sounds just like Event Horizon Shocked

Math says a bumblebee CANT fly yet it dose.

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.

Space is a vacuum the problem isn't removing particles that occupy the space you wish to manipulate that can be done by simply funneling particles around the bubble by altering it's shape. I also assume the speed would increase the ships weight increasing its mass in space causing objects to orbit it that normally wouldn't. Aside from this is the problem of slowing down. There is very little resistance in space as was said before about it not just being an empty vacuum. The braking forces required to slow an object from faster than light travel would be so immense that you would have to counter the G's being placed upon everyone inside the craft as well. This would inevitably kill you. It is also unknown to what would happen if one was to manipulate space as we don't know what the fabric is made out of. One of the most commonly seen manipulators of space is a black hole. An object that requires the nuclear force of a star about our suns size or much larger to be constructed.

So let us just stop and think for a second. Before we go testing large and powerful devices we learn a little more about what we are manipulating. One of the greatest fears of using nuclear devices was that we would ignite the earths atmosphere. Thankfully they took the time to realize its gaseous composition could withstand the temporary exposure to such temperatures and detonated after such a time.

We live in an age of unprecedented knowledge and technological advances. Our down fall is that we lack the patience to wisely act upon its uses.

How about we just throw science against the wall and see what sticks? Big smile

I remember in the Book "Dune" by Frank Herbert, ships moved threw space by folding it so i wonder if this guy got his idea from the book which predates this theorem.

Considering every person on Earth since the first nuclear bombs were detonated has the radioactive isotope Strontium-90 in their bones from them, and it's been linked to the dramatic rise of leukemia and other cancers, i'd say we ****** up the nuclear bomb thing pretty badly.

I do agree we should be more cautious, but you won't find examples of it in the past. We've always just charged ahead and found the consequences later, and will probably continue to do so until we wipe ourselves out.

Per head of population, 'Aussie science' is well ahead of American science. Although, I realise that's not setting the bar very high. :)
