Are they possible or /x/ tier?

[Anonymous No.12296043]

Our very planet, Earth, has its own "force field"... So yes, it's possible and even more, it's already a thing.

How about bullets?

Force field is not for "bullets"... Science-fiction 101:

>Ablative armor and Hull plating are for "bullets" >Shield are for energy

If you have the technology to manipulate space-time a la Warp; then yes. You just configure the space-time around your ship to propel anything that hits it away from the ship.

But Warp theory violates causality anyways so it's /x/-tier in reality.

>Warp theory

>Alcubierre recently exhibited a spacetime which, within the framework of general relativity, allows travel at superluminal speeds if matter with a negative energy density can exist, and conjectured that it should be possible to use similar techniques to construct a theory containing closed causal loops and, thus, travel backwards in time.

Depends on what you mean by force field.

so armor?
