How would hyperdrives work?
I don't really know much about hyperspace so could someone please explain it to me.
Pic not related.
Its destiny from stargate.

>> No.3641857

hyperdrives are science fiction. they don't work and even if they were possible, none of us know how they work in the current time or we would probably build one.

'hyperdrive' is too vague.

the Alcubierre drive sounds closest to what you mean, its basically a 'warp drive' that alters the shape of space to move the craft.

Hyperspace is red and has monsters.

You go to hell.

Hope to Christ nothing comes back with you.

It's so easy, faggots. Either the board computer or the R2 unit calculates the hyperspace coordinates and then the ship jumps. There are no asteroids allowed between start and end.

>> No.3641903

In their own fiction hyperdrives accelerate the ship to faster-than-light speeds, or they enter an alternate dimension that somehow makes them go faster than light, like the Warp in 40k.

dark matter engine + bending fabric of space time.

it could happen.

They don't work, because they don't exist

>> No.3641936

>>3641906

No it couldn't.

We haven't even directly observed dark matter, and there is no discernible way of collecting it.

You either use the 4th dimension to manipulate the time it takes to move from point A to B, or you manipulate space itself using extreme 'gravity' forces so you can move faster than light without even moving. You know the universe expands faster than the speed of light, despite the fact that no celestial objects moves that fast, right?

>> No.3641973

This thread reminds me of pandoras star, where they invent a ftl engine for a ship and everyone starts calling it a hyper drive and it pisses off the scientists because it doesn't have anything to do with hyperspace.

Depends on the scifi universe you are in.

>> No.3641996

possible (yet all equally unlikely) ways to use a hyperdrive:

Create a wave in space (google alcubierre drive)
Wormhole (disc-shaped singularities are expected in rotating black holes)

Teleportation (use tachyons to send your information to the place where you will be reconstructed)

>> No.3641997

>ftl
no way man!

wormholes is the next destination, the mathematical concepts already done.

If gravity turned out to be particulate in nature, by the laws of physics, it would have an anti-particle, right?

So this "Element Zero" stuff in Mass Effect is actually a possibility, right?
