EVE General Discussion

All the visible light would blue-shift to "invisible" (X-rays or whatever), but things like radio waves and microwaves would go similarly blue-shift into the visibile spectrum.

You certainly wouldn't see nothing at all.

As for people trying to argue scientifically based on the fictional concept of "Warp speed"... just don't do that.

OMG!!!

I had a (very) primitive idea for something like this in my teens!

It was around the time where dark matter was just entering into public consciousness. One day, I thought, "Imagine if dark matter was a form of matter that existed on multiple dimensions. And what if we could warp it, and in doing so warp our our space?"

What it ended up being was basically, you would have a ship surrounded by 'dark matter collectors' at a starting anchor point that would gather large quantities of dark matter around a ship.

It would then stretch the dark matter to a destination anchor point at a distant star. Since dark matter and our matter are linked, it would by extension stretch normal space and the ship inside that space.

Finally, the dark matter collectors would 'let go' of their starting anchor point, 'snapping' real space back to its normal configuration, but at the destination anchor point, in effect 'moving' the ship to its new destination.

Hehe...ah to be young again.

The problem is that that's a step backwards:

We don't know what dark matter is, right now. To define it in terms of multiple dimensions, we'd have to know what those dimensions are AND what dark matter is and how it fits in those dimensions.

It's like, "Daddy, what is an automobile?" "Well, kiddo, first let me explain roads, and to explain roads let me explain the shape of the Earth and distances, and to explain the Earth let me explain stars, galaxies, and the whole universe."

WITHOUT those inertial damper thingies --- warp speed is only going to look like a mushy, pinkish smear at the "back" of whatever crew space the ship was supposed to have.

They'll be scraping you off the wall with a spatula... good luck with that.

Or you could see into the past

Pretty awesome that your linking other games in EVE's General Discussion.

We'll see who you come to when you need help finding out where you left your keys....

It would be a fairly simplistic matter of calculating what the outside universe would look like when very near to the event horizon. Once you cross it, however, that's another story entirely.
