Warp Drive Metric System
Warp drive metric... It's a speculative idea based on a solution of Einstein's field equations
"Warp Drive Metric"
Rather than exceeding the speed of light within a local reference frame, a spacecraft would traverse distances by contracting space in front of it and expanding space behind it, resulting in effective faster-than-light travel
"Warp Drive Metric System"
Within the framework of conformal gravity, an extension of general relativity in which the angles of spacetime are locally preserved, the Alcubierre metric does not violate the weak energy condition for particular spacetime shapes, and hence faster-than-light travel would not require exotic matter
"Warp Drive Metric System"
[pre breakdown]
. .
== LET'S GO ==
(dreamy breakdown)
. .
The Alcubierre drive, however, remains a hypothetical concept with seemingly difficult problems, though the amount of energy required is no longer thought to be unobtainably large
"Warp Drive Metric System"
But in 2012...
The work has been described in Warp Field Mechanics 101
A NASA laboratory announced that they had constructed an interferometer that they claim will detect the spatial distortions produced by the expanding and contracting spacetime of the Alcubierre metric
"Warp Drive Metric System"
Objects cannot accelerate to the speed of light within normal spacetime; Instead, the Alcubierre drive shifts space around an object so that the object would arrive at its destination faster than light would in normal space without breaking any physical laws
"Warp Drive Metric System"
[pre breakdown]
. .
== LET'S GO ==
(dreamy breakdown)
. .
But it's a big deal! It has something to do with interstellar travel
. .
==Warp Drive Metric System==
(long dreamy breakdown)
. .
(happy ending)
