Concept of Warp Drive

Warp Drive 




Warp Drive - A technique in which an object or spaceship travels faster than the speed of light without consuming much fuel.
According to the Theory of Relativity - A body which has mass cannot travel with the speed of light and to travel with the speed of light, requires infinite energy. It seems that this theory applies to those objects which travel within the universe but not on the universe itself. 
In other words, we know that the universe is made right after the big bang about 13.7 billion years ago. If we assume that right after the big bang if our universe is expanding with the speed of light then today its diameter should not greater than 28 billion light years but according to researcher our Universe diameter is about approximately 93 billions light years, it simply means that the speed of expansion of our universe is greater than the speed of light, it means that barrier's of relativity is not applied on universe itself. 

It means that Universe can expand and also contract greater than the speed of light. It means if we expand the space behind the spacecraft and contracts the space present in front of the spacecraft then our spacecraft without even consuming energy and fuel then it is possible to cover the much larger distance in shorter time.






In this case, we only expand the space behind the spacecraft and contracts the space present between the spacecraft and the point of destination. while the spaceship remains safe inside a bubble in which the space-time remains constant. 


According to Time Dilation - As the object moves relative to the speed of light then the time for an object becomes less. But in the case of Warp drive Time dilation is not applicable because our spaceship does not travel with the speed of light but only contract and expands the space between them, in this case, time remains constant. 

If we talk about the compression of space, we know that it is possible According to Einstein, larger mass and energy compress the space-time but for warp drive, we require minimum to minimum mass equal to the mass of Jupiter. 

But the biggest problem is "How to expand the space?". For this, we require negative mass as we know that negative mass act oppositely to the positive mass. As we know that normally an object attracts toward the center of the earth but in case of negative mass earth center pushed away from its center. 

Although negative mass is possible at the technical level we can make negative mass at the quantum level but for warp drive, we require larger mass. It is possible that negative mass exists ( in larger amount ) somewhere in our universe in the form of exotic matter but it impossible to find because it has no effect on gravitational forces.

 Even if we get a negative mass but there are lots of problems we will face.
During traveling through warp drive it is not possible to communicate outside the bubble and the second one is that during journey lots of space junks are collected outside the bubble it means that even if we reach our destination and we make the space to its normal position then this space junks even destroy the planet. 

According to Stephan Hawking Chronology Protection Conjecture, For any unknown reasons Quantum mechanics always tries to stop the actions which try to break the casualty that why Stephan Hawking believes that time machine is not possible and in case of warp drive there is a possibility of quantum disaster.

Nasa has even made a warp drive but only at the quantum level with the use of positive mass.

Top 10 Scary Astronaut Stories

Top 10 Scary Astronaut Stories Today, we share real accounts of people who have been to space - the scary things they experience, the unexplained sightings, and the memories that haunted them for years after.  10.  The Knocking - In 2003, Yang lee become the first Chinese person in space. It was a horrific occasion, but it also becomes famous for a creepy occurrence. In 2016, Yang told in an interview that he heard someone knocking on the outside of the spaceship on that trip, he described it as sounding like a wooden hammer hitting on the iron bucket. He tried to peek out of the porthole but he couldn't see anything outside. When he got back to earth, Yang described the sound to expert, he even tried to recreate it for them - but nobody could identify it. In the year since, many people have tried to explain this strange phenomenon. some say that it could have been some space debris but some others say that this is unlikely as space debris is few and far be...

The Man from Taured

The Man from Taured The man from Taured is a story about a man who arrived at Japanese Airport from a country called Taured. Many people claimed this story to be true but the biggest problem seems to lie in Taured itself.   Many have pointed out that there is no country by the name of Taured either today or during the propoted period of time when the took place in this case the 1950’s but the mysterious man claimed his country had existed over a thousand years this story ends with a man disappearing and leaving no traces. The story of “The Man from Taured” begins in July 1954 on that particular day a man will set to have arrived at Tokyo International Airport, this man is being described as Caucasian looking with a beard while its primary luggage is said to have been French is being said this spoke Japanese and many other languages as well. The sequence of events then differs according to which version of the story you have encountered. In one ve...

Moon Phases

Moon Phases  Besides the Sun, the Moon is the most obvious object in the sky. Bright silvery with tantalizing features on its face, it's been the target of our imagination, poetry, science and even the occasional rocket.  If we pay most the most cursory attention to it, we'll see that it changes everyday; sometimes it's up in the day, sometimes at night , and even its shape is always changing.  What's causes this Behavior?  The moon is basically a giant ball of rock 3500 km across in space. It's surface is pretty dark, with about the same reflectively as a chalkboard or asphalt. However, it looks bright to us because it's sitting in full sunlight; the sun illuminates it, and it reflects that light down to us here on Earth. And because it's a sphere, and orbiting the Earth, the way we see it lit by the Sun changes with time. That's what's causes its phases : Geometry.  The important things to remember through all is; ...
