HEY, BIG EMPTY ROOM! WHILE YOU'VE BEEN F5ing, I FOUND THIS.

This ties in with the whole possibility of actually having warp drive thing, yes?
Cool

Before I start reading the article and assuming that I know what it's about based on the title, no.

This is legit FTL, not practical FTL.

What this basically shows is a mathematical inverse.

For example, us regular jack offs, as we approach the speed of light, get more massive. This is why matter can never get to the speed of light. However, if you exceed the speed of light, you get the opposite.

As you approach the speed of light, your mass gets asymptotically larger.

As you exceed the speed of light, your mass diminishes, until you hit the asymptote, where your mass approaches nothing.

LMNO, how close was I?

Reading the article, dead on, with some details mentioned elsewhere This is the paper I read about the other day.

Talking about what happens at the speed of light is where the math breaks down. The math as we understand it only describes what happens in subluminal and superluminal speeds, whereas warp drive describes a ship that sits still in space, but the space around it exceeds the speed of light (at an effective speed of 10 c if I recall).

Honestly, if you were to put actual money on practical FTL, put it in warp drive, not in this, since it only describes particles that by nature are FTL anyway. Tachyons and such. If they are proven to exist. Nothing with mass can go at a speed of c. The amount of energy needed to make that happen, if I recall correctly exceeds the amount of energy available in the universe.

Twid,
Really was going to be a scientist if he never picked up guitar and wanted to be a professional musician.

Edited to turn subliminal into subluminal.

The two keys are next to each other.

In other words, this article describes the math of particles that cannot go less than the speed of light. Something that is irrelevant to our travels, at least as we understand them now.

WTF does this have to do with getting Villager back?

Well, considering that I'm losing weight, I'm losing mass.

Which means that I am exceeding the speed of light.

Which means that, from our perspective at least, I am traveling backwards in time.

Which means that I can go back to when I was 19 and tell my ass to go to college so I wouldn't be stagnating at the age of 31.

Which means I would never have met Villager in the first place.

Ofuk. Time travel paradox.



Seriously though, as far AS legit jobs go, I probably should switch to a science major.

Err... ok open bar time.
