      Shhh. Domino's is working on patents and licensing for replicators.

    A trip to Mars at the speed of light would take as little as three seconds. But apart from the chasm between theoretical and experimental possibility, that time would also be about your life expectancy due to the massive forces of acceleration. :rolleyes:

      NO! No! No! No!

      Laws of physics don't count. I firmly believe that if you ignore them...they go away.

        According to this secret source, NASA will soon be "leveling" with us in an announcement that all those silly laws of physics, including the speed of light limit, may no longer apply to us.

          Hmmm, this has become a silly thread, but l won't drag out my minions, (at least not yet). :rolleyes:

          Arrr if l remember correctly the sun is about 3 minutes away at light speed, and the moon is about 5 seconds, so Mars might be a few minutes, still fast enough to deliver a pizza, he, he!


          But since warp drive is even quicker than that, l suspect that warp drive is seconds away, although as others have said, we would need to tone it down, so we don't have to get scraped of the spaceship walls when we get there.

          Warp may have to be slow and gradual, but still possible.

          Although if they get this to work, then it will probably be buried!

    Shane,

    I think you're an interesting fellow, but I wouldn't put too much faith in a video posted on YouTube by a guy who calls himself "wowforreeel" [sic].

      At this point, NASA research is not anywhere beyond theory and certainly not even close to a proof of concept stage. To see if the physics of a "warp" drive actually plays out in practice, they’re talking about a microscopic warp bubble that will have very little relation to a real-world prototype. The fuel would have to be some kind of "exotic matter", of which currently is little understood, and would require handling methods that apparently violate known physical laws.

      In addition, a nagging concern is that at speeds greater than the speed of light, the front of the warp bubble cannot be reached by any signal from within the ship, which means it can’t be turned off electronically. It appears that even the best minds within our own Galaxy have not been able to overcome this design flaw. ET crew arriving in long distance spacecraft are often not able to slow down quickly enough to reduce the carnage and tragedy of crash landings.

    Oh hell yes. Not sure what the true color is up there - but if that agate is anywhere near the color in your "color corrected" pics - I'm there in a heartbeat if anyone offers me the trip (as long as it's a two way ticket:rolleyes:) I just wonder if the "color corrected" is actually correct and how anyone could tell that for sure. I sure know agate when I see it, though.

      I am just going by the original Viking images before NASA went on a witchhunt and made all the monitors off color.


      Or l just press autocolor a few times, until it stops working. I know it is true color by the sky color, (Viking images, 2007 press conference images, etc) or until the sky is the correct color!

      That is all NASA does after scouring all raw images before posting. They artificially put a grey, dark orange filter over them so the green gets hidden.

      I know this because apart from the above info, they also darken some of their images several times, (these are usually the ones with exciting junk lying around).

      I can assure you that they are true color.

      There is no excuse for doing this, red shifting doesn't account for this, otherwise the Pluto mission would have shown Jupiter with reddish color instead of pure white in its atmosphere, when it flew past it.


      The only reason for hiding the truth, is so certain individuals don't run a muck!


      But with UFO sightings staying constant, it is inevitable we will get a UFO in the park!

      Most likely after a global disaster of some kind!
