Why?

>>6632239
negative mass no reel

>>6632242
Negative mass isn't involved.

>>6632213
if you call them QUANTUM VACUUM PLASMA THRUSTERS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_vacuum_plasma_thruster

or watch NASA's Dr. White
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M8yht_ofHc

you might find that H. White actually has working units

the objections >>6632234
>>6632242

are from ignorant anons

the effect is real

>>6632277
His warp interferometer data was less than impressive.

>>6632311
It is worth noting before another >>6632234 or >>6632242 show up: the warp tech he describes is entirely unrelated to a Mach-Lorentz drive save for the fact that a Mach-Lorentz drive **might** be able to produce exotic mass or negative energy in very small (not remotely measurable with modern technology) quantities.

>>6632315
"Exotic Matter" doesn't just mean negative mass - negative mass is just the most obvious case. According to White's theories, his device could also generate "exotic" conditions.

>>6632311
His warp interferometer data was less than complete. He needs more sensitive equipment to get an accurate enough reading to finish his research. And if you had bothered to watch or even skim through last year's 100 Year Starship Symposium, then you would have known that the preliminary results of the interferometer reading were a very weak positive. Please do a bit of research before you decide to talk out your ass.

it is to warp space, its the fuel so to speak

Get alone of this retard. Bet you just came here from leddit huh?

If you think that's /x/ you really need to have your head examined.

BAZINGA, I fukken love sciense xDDD

are you even trying?

No faggot, it's not

>being this retarded
Guess I shouldn't say fuck off since you don't really have anything to do but troll /sci/ with an elementary understanding of physics (at best) and a libtarded view of what science is/has-to-offer/will-become - but fuck off.

Do you even understand what you were trying to say? Did you even bother to read any of the previous posts so you had some fucking context here? Do you realize your reply makes no fucking sense at all?

Two angsty college kids arguing with different definitions of "less than impressive". Define your arguments, then start a discussion.

>>6632213
>hurr i shoot laser to make warp bubles
>durr i need imaginary matter
>star trek REEL

>>6633953
I think my biggest argument would be that this guy: >>6633372 was being a pedantic faggot while being retarded in an inability to extrapolate the meaning of >>6632311

>>6633752
It seems you watch too much the big bang theory.
>BLAZINGO!!
>sciense is for nerdz like me xDD
>so smart, such random xDDD epikk

>>6633974
That is such a shit show I really don't get the relation. Could it just be that you're a moron?

>>6633992
fukken epikk post mann, you showed him! fuck that guy wer both nerdz, so smart xDD btw did u see that reddit AMA from neil degrasse tyson, yeahh man stars n shit are so cool mann. fuckk yeah i fucking love science!!

>>6633993
/sci/ five, brother. You showed that jock. I bet he doesn't even know the first 30 digits of pi.

>>6633993
Tyson is a faggot that's never contributed anything to science and quite the contrary has only managed to mislead a bunch of faggoty libtards into thinking they understand anything about it. This isn't leddit, people actually come to this site that understand science rather than spout a bunch of pop-culture faggotry and as any scientist knows anything is possible you just have to figure out how to do it. Stop being a faggot acting like a liberal that only believes things are possible when someone tells them they are possible - scientists are the people that ultimately trickle that information down to the plebs you cunt.

The big bang theory is still on?

Cheers was funnier. AND they had a better laugh track to tell you where the jokes are.

That needs a modifier, because we have to post a lot more to stamp out popsci cancer.

>>6634050
Especially during the summer, when all the faggots stop watching television.

>>6634050
>>6634052
Can we get back on topic now that we all understand we hate the faggots from leddit? Let's just get along and figure out how to make mass drivers already so we can purge the faggots.

>>6634057
It's not just the "faggots from leddit". The cancer is much more widespread.

>>6632277
So your solar system is moving towards -x at 1000000 mph ( velocity = -1000000 ), and you start your ship moving adding 1000 to your velocity so your velocity is -999000, does your drive take you forward or backward? And if velocity is relative, wouldn't you then discover an absolute reference by seeing which way you traveled when you hadn't been moving relative to your home planet?

>>6634159
>absolute reference
>relative to a planet
Aside from the fact your post is off topic as all Hell, it makes no sense.

>>6634179
What I mean is if you were sitting on the surface of Earth, not moving relative to Earth, in other words stationary in the ordinary sense of the word stationary. The guy in the video says he thinks you go whatever direction you were moving before you switched the bubble on, but what direction WERE you moving in before you switched it on? Relative to what?

>>6634192
Specific timestamp?

>>6632213
gotta go fast

>>6634242
49:38, someone asks a related question and he answers.

>>6634265
I think I get what you meant now. Inertia is preserved and the warp bubble just impacts the curvature of space around the ship (you still want a flat spacetime where the ship itself is because it would probably change the laws of physics in a pretty painful way for anyone inside otherwise). Inertia would be preserved but the space you need to move through would in effect be reduced to get from A to B (or if you had the bubble polarized the wrong way it would be increased leading to drastically longer commute times).
