Topic: Was Einstein Wrong about Space Travel? | |
---|---|
Ok, back on topic.
Space travel is possible, I'm convinced. Whether we can affect it and survive it, I can't begin to say. The secret to space travel will not be to travel faster.... it will be to effectively bring the destination closer to you by warping space...not unlike it was written in "A Wrinkle in Time". However the forces required to warp space might not be survivable. |

I thought you meant about cold fusion...he was wrong, but he was close. The thing with cold fusion is it isn't just an unconfirmed phenomenon, but one which a variety of other experiments undermine the plausibility of. The existence of a room temperature superconductor is demonstrated, but we have little reason to suppose it can't be done; whereas I am not so sure that the same words should be used to describe perpetual motion machines. It isn't an unconfirmed phenomenon, its the same process that fuels the stars. The issue was how cold fusion could impact space travel. About time travel...no the faster we travel the slower time goes by isn't correct. First of all suppose time does exist, lets focus on one day on earth and use that as a constant. Days of course are varied through planet so one could say time itself is variable by measurement of days. Anywhoo...You take time as a constant, and travel as lets say 16 rotations per min, as opposed to 32 rotations per minute. The change is the speed of rotation not the minute. Im tired, I could copy & paste better answers...but I felt I was qualified enough since I have studied quantom physics a semester AND stayed in a Holiday Inn Express once. Daaaammmmmnnnnn TT...YOU should check out the site I was telling Whisper about too... |
