A steam driven space ship sounds a bit old-fashioned to me Sorry for nit-picking, but as a star trek fan I just felt I had to mention this. BTW, a nice response to my picture |

I think that technically (as technically as it can get when referring to a sci-fi television series) "warp" drive doesn't really break the speed of light as much as it "bends" the fabric of space-time around to make the distance shorter.
299,792,458 m/s - It's not just a good idea, it's the law. |

Star Trek can be pretty realistic when it comes to warp speed.
And yes, you're right. Warp speed (faster than light) is achieved by folding space so the distance get shorter, not the speed getting higher. But the result is the same: a distance that in our space-time continuum would have taken years is achieved in lesser time; the space ship comes to the destination faster than the light that started on the same journey - the light barrier is broken. I never mentioned the speed of light, but the light barrier Last edited by Iznogood; 11-05-2012 at 09:51 AM. |

Uh-huh, uh-huh, light barrier, I see...
Now are you referring to the Yu-gi-oh card, or the thing that keeps mosquitoes away? |
