"IS WARP DRIVE POSSIBLE?" - A discussion

That is called the E-sail...or Starwisp. Less surface area than typical solar sails that need actual photon pressure of light itself to move.

Winglee’s M2P2 could protect spacecraft. There is even talk about generating bubbles at Mars. Jim Green thinks that a powerful magnetic dipole at Mars’ L1 Libration point will do the trick.

I don't want to be a party pooper but I think we'll explore the solar system, If we're lucky but that we won't go anywhere else and definitely not in another solar system, not even if we are to exist for millions of years more.
 
Depends on it, might be that there will be a "market" for generation ships or that we can at least can get up to halfway the speed of light or a little better.

How could a Lagrange point factor into propelling an object through space?

The closest Earth-like planet, IE not only the size and composition but also the distance from its sun, a sun very much like ours, is likely thousands of light-years away, which means millions of years on a "generation ship"... That doesn't seem plausible.

Muon, the bulkier cousin of the electron, responds to magnetic force.

This is good for many reasons, the first being that a muon can be controlled using a magnet. Even if by only a very small amount, the eventuality of being able to push aside electrons via the muon would continue to pave the way to FTL.

Let me toss this idea your way.

If a Muon responds to a magnetic field, based on the article linked above, then a Muon has movement. Now if Dark Matter is a force that moves in between Muons and gives them their spin which the Muon then creates Dark Matter spin, think of a serpentine belt traveling through a system of pulleys where the pulleys are the Muons and the Serpentine Belt is Dark Matter, neither having motion without the other, when a star collapses into a black hole, could the process involve Muons of the same magnetic charge suddenly being attracted to each other all once? As the Muons attract towards each could they possible pull Dark Matter into the center of the singularity with the Muons? Muons are 207 times heavier than electrons. With trillions of Muons x trillions Muons collapsing inward, the mass placed on the Muon at the very center must release a tremendous amount of energy that would then pull inward any other Muon close to the black hole.

Since Muons are effected by a magnetic field and if Muons are the Singularity core then any atom with Muons would be attracted to the singularity but wouldn't be affected by the force as the inward pull would transfer through the Muon to other Muons.

A light photon has an oscillating electric and magnetic field. Could there be some exchange between the light photon's magnetic field and the Muon where the Muon is able to take all of the magnetic field away from the light photon and add the magnetic field to the Muon Singularity core?

As long as there is light being consumed by the black hole for the Muons to use the magnetic field of light to generate energy, the black hole would continue to exist.

Alcubierre's models won't work. He has forgotten the regardless of whether you push or pull space-time, the effects of space time are constantly changing and effecting gravitational forces on the object, from all directs all the time.

If I have a wall of feathers that one foot thick and put my arm through the wall, nothing happens.

But if the wall is a thousand miles deep, but compressed into a one foot thick wall, what happens when I try and put my hand through the wall. The wall becomes impenetrable, even though both walls are made of feathers.

The first wall and my hand is how a normal rocket would function in space, slow moving encountering the same gravitational forces and atoms until the rocket became trapped in a larger gravitational field, such as a gas giant, as star.

The second wall would result from rocket occupying space time, gravitational forces and atoms, at much faster rate.

Thus, atoms and gravitational forces interact with the rocket traveling at a much faster rate that creates numerous reactions between the hull of the ship and atoms that adds more mass to the hull.

The real trick is to break down the structures of atoms that create more mass as a result of the atoms interacting with the material composition of the hull traveling at ftl velocities and faster.
 
Here is the effect I have written about numerous times regarding how particles interact with an object traveling at FTL and faster velocities.

In the video below shad balls are used to fill a swimming pool.

The swimmer is the starship.
The pool is Space-Time Prior to the Big Bang (BBPST).
The water is Einstein Space-Time (ESP).
The Shade Balls are particles present in ESP

Therefore, particles interacting with hull that adds mass due to kinetic variable changing the structure of the atom interacting with the hull alloy, must have it's atomic structure dissolved by using particles that strip the atom of the ability to accept particles that create the actual mass of the metal atom. Reducing atomic mass of atoms added to a hull as it travels to light speed will in fact allow a starship to achieve better sub-light to light speed velocities.

Einstein Space would be considered the water in the pool. Dissolving the quarks and other very small particles of atoms found in Einstein Space would open the door to space-time that existed prior to the Big Bang. The interesting question about BBPST is this. Since there was some obvious gravitational force at work prior to the Big Bang that was part of Primordial Space, some of that gravitational influence would still be present and could allow starship to travel very fast without coming apart at the seems.

Basically, atoms that interact with metal alloys at light speed that causes more mass to be added to a ships structure must be dissolved along with Quarks in Einstein Space that also interact with metal alloys to create more mass, without actually being part of a metal element. The remaining Quarks that would be kept would be Quarks that would actively hold together in a tighter bond and reinforce and the hull of the ship that faster the ship traveled to light speed and beyond.

The top speed light of Warp would be 9.98 not because Warp 10 and higher velocities are not impossible to reach, we just haven't discovered the correct filament for the lightbulb yet.
