Franz Joseph was right!

[knightgrace]

Just reading a real world non fiction article about imaginary time. Oh! Boy!! I didn't know that imaginary time existed. I knew that radio makes use of the square root of negative one...
But I had no idea that imaginary time existed.
So to go to Franz Joseph's Technical Manual...
He drew up a page on how he imagined that the space warp could actually work. The graph takes up the whole page. It is primarily focused on imaginary space, and imaginary time...
The square root of -1x square root of -1 = 1, hence FTL speed in normal space.

This is known as gestalt.

Okay, and…?

Will this be on the test?

Every time I try to post an image, something goes wrong. Very frustrating. This is why, I sent you after the page found on Cygnus x-1. But you missed it, so did I. Every one here thinks that the graph shows wf^3= x light speed.

No!


This is the inverse of what Franz Joseph ment, rather it is the x c, which gives the warp factor. The solution is not 5^3=125, but that 125=5^3. It is referring the amount of energy required to attain, and hold 125c.

If you went and read the article, which when I get time, I will post a link, the real question is just what is the medium that a warp field works through? Answer: the warp nacelle(s).

Furthermore, keep in mind that like a magnetic field the warp field obeys the inverse cube law.

Yes, instead of obeying the inverse square law, it obeys the inverse cube law. Because you are dealing with a bipolar field, rather than electromagnetic waves, such as photons. So, due to the nature of the warp field, it is tight.

So FJ, was correct. This explains why the distance between the warp nacelles is critical.

Except all of that is theoretical, and warp drive doesn't exist. So what exactly was he right about?

 

[knightgrace]

He understood exactly what must be.

 

[Dukhat]

Alrighty then.

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

Actually, not just imaginary, but negative imaginary. On both time and velocity.

At the time, I was 13, and only barely aware of imaginary numbers, and I didn't realize FJS was invoking them.

 

[Dukhat]

Sure, ok.

Every time I try to post an image, something goes wrong. Very frustrating.

Maybe the site doesn't allow hotlinking? I always upload images to a third-party host like Imgur.

I don't see what you see in it though

Thank you.

The chart is your typical logarithmic x-y chart, in and of itself, nothing special.

It is the data ON the chart, that shows that he was thinking things through. Imaginary space-time simply means that he(Franz Joseph) thought things through throughly. The square root of negative one, is necessary to the functioning of modern day technological equipment. But in this case, it is two dimensional in nature, meaning that one is applied against the other...

Please notice that FTL speeds are only attained in the negative x, and negative y portions of the chart.

Now remember that a space warp does not apply to the ship herself, but to the space around the ship. Hence the requirement of point of view. Franz Joseph was taking this into account. Furthermore looking the positive portion of the chart, shows a solution to many problems, such as why impulse power.
Aside from being an emergency back up system.
