GuestSpacetime does move faster than light, at the edges of the observable universe and beyond. Nothing can move through spacetime faster than light, but there’s no such constraint on the speed of spacetime itself.

Guest>no such constraint on the speed of spacetime itself.
Kind of perhaps sorta maybe who really knows possibly true, BUT: You have to add up the cumulative effects of spatial expansion over the majority of the observable universe to make your point.
Still not seeing an example of one "piece" of spacetime moving FTL in relation to its immediately surrounding spacetime.
Thanks for playing, though.-

Nothing can move faster than the speed of light
Universe is 13.8 billion years old
Universe is 93 billion light years wideONLY way these four statements can be true is if is spacetime expands faster than the speed of light

Expansion of space does not involve anything moving in the classical mechanical sense.
No acceleration, no causality, no hope for your denial of modern physics.

Guest>How long until we have FTL craft?
Never because light doesn’t travel, let alone "has a speed".>The means of travel is not faster than what travels in it
"it’s already there".https://i.4cdn.org/sci/1633294535234.pdf
People have reproduced the Michelson-Morley results with sound waves and classical fluid waves.
Did those ones yield null results too?
The relativistic model for light emission is incorrect.
>Light follows the same emission model as sound waves; there is a fixed stationary frame, and waves travel at a constant speed with respect to that frame, and only that frame.
>When I whip my hand in the air I’m "emitting sound"
>When I splash them in water, they "emit water" in the form of waves.Light is an "emission" how? Also "waves" of what? It’s what something does.

Guestwere alone in a universe, with no other matter, what speed are you going? If you accelerate, what speed are you going NOW? Would acceleration in such a universe produce the normal effects of inertia? He concluded it would not, and his postulate was that the properties of "inertia" and "mass" were dependent on the existence of external matter, possibly mediated through the electromagnetic force with the photon as the exchange particle.
The question becomes, if you could "make it didn’t happen" by isolating yourself from the background history of the universe’s EM, could you decouple your test mass from the Machian background ‘drag’ inflicted on it by the EM from distant stellar masses.
The solution ended up involving one of those setups where you effectively slow the speed of light in a medium drastically, which is one reason why you always see the military and DARPA involved with the large scale projects involving that technology. You surround your test mass with a medium that has that property, and you spin it rapidly so that any em field penetrating it has to spiral in forever. If you’ve ever heard the term bandied about amongst the UFOlogists about a "magnetic field disrupter", that’s what it’s for, and why. Only you never hear why you’d want to disrupt a magnetic field, or why that would make something easier to accelerate. Until today. (tada!) It’s a Mach Effect shield. No one on the inside uses the term ‘magnetic field disruption’ outside of reference to the ubiquitous rumor, though, and it’s got jack to do with mercury plasma. The first ones were liquid helium, although it doesn’t work nearly as well as later media.

GuestEarly on, they tried to do the intersystem stuff that way and it all spun unidirectionally, which is why you see 50’s-60’s "UFOs" doing that weird falling-leaf thing when they descend, it’s gyroscopic forces vs the pilot/avionics trying not to scour the inside of the containment with the rotating delay medium. These days they contrarotate two annuli to compensate on the intersystem craft, and the intrasystem craft don’t do that at all.
In the small, it’s also why you get the Podkletnov effect above a rotating superconductive surface (also why you don’t get much of an effect). The rotating disk is acting as a halfassed Mach Effect shield, but it doesn’t do a great job, and the fringe effects around the disk’s edges nearly swamp any actual shielding from that direction. What they’re seeing is less "antigravity" as "somewhat directional anti-inertia", although it kinda looks the same if you’re not watching for the differences. If they made a closed superconductive surface, a hollow cylinder maybe, and spun that instead, you’d see a bigger effect inside.
The thing with the cosmological constant has to do with how much ass you can get with a Mach Effect shield. In regions where it’s relatively high, the expansion of space in that area acts as a drag that can’t be shielded against. Where it’s lower, you go faster. The issue is everyone thinks it’s uniform, and it’s not. Driving through spatial regions with non-zero cosmological ‘constant’ causes pseudo-acceleration inside the field which is quite handy for "artificial gravity", except where it’s non-uniform and sort of "ripply" you get the paint-mixer effect. Which is pretty much all over, only some places it’s worse, making your FTL experience a tooth-rattling one with used lunch accompaniment. (the CC non-uniformity is also why you get the Voyager/Pioneer anomalies, and why they’re in different directions, but I digress)
If the Universe weren’t rotating, you couldn’t do it at all, but with rotation there are exact solutions that permit FTL that way, I think it was some proof by Godel, but it BTFOOM how that works, you’d have to be a drive systems designer to understand it, and I’ve probably misremembered it anyway. I’m lucky to do simple tensors on a good day.

GuestYou’d think the structure containing the medium would protrude outside and defeat the purpose, but there’s some sort of frame-dragging effect that deals with most of that, and at any rate you don’t want to totally shield because if you could, you’d go simultaneous, it acts sort of like a skeg on a ski.
Early on, they tried to do the intersystem stuff that way and it all spun unidirectionally, which is why you see 50’s-60’s "UFOs" doing that weird falling-leaf thing when they descend, it’s gyroscopic forces vs the pilot/avionics trying not to scour the inside of the containment with the rotating delay medium.

GuestEinstein’s first forays into general relativity were spawned by Ernst Mach’s theories. Later, once GR was out, there were Machian universe solutions discovered, and although the deSitter model is more mainstream, the Machian universe is the way to go.
In a nutshell, Mach had this for a thought experiment. If you were alone in a universe, with no other matter, what speed are you going? If you accelerate, what speed are you going NOW? Would acceleration in such a universe produce the normal effects of inertia? He concluded it would not, and his postulate was that the properties of "inertia" and "mass" were dependent on the existence of external matter, possibly mediated through the electromagnetic force with the photon as the exchange particle.

GuestSome guy from LANL or Sandia posted in on a thread related to this topic on LULZ. It’s described in further detail in the link below. My best guess it’s from Ketterle’s experiment that won him the Noble Prize or from the LiJun Wang stuff at NEC Laboratory Princeton in the late 90’s.
https://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread901726/pg3
Apparently what makes the drive system "go" can also be converted into a terrifying weapons system. The next link is from some UFO nutters out at UTTR looking for aylmao in 2004. They definitely saw something they weren’t supposed to. There are also eyewitness accounts from the same time that saw the flashes from I-80 outside Wendover.

Really, what macroscopic phenomenon have you observed lately that violates causality? At best you could point to celestial mechanics since it requires gravitational forces to propagate instantaneously. That doesn’t violate cause and effect though.-

GuestThe MM null result is a CLASSICAL phenomenon. There is nothing in it that requires relativity to explain. ALL waves experience transverse Doppler shift; there’s no need to posit Lorentz contraction or time dilation or anything non-classical to explain the Lorentz transform. Light follows the same emission model as sound waves; there is a fixed stationary frame, and waves travel at a constant speed with respect to that frame, and only that frame.
The relativistic model for light emission is incorrect.

FilteredThe microscopic world is the same place as the macroscopic world. They work according to the same laws. We just don’t precisely know what those laws are, yet. We have sets of ideas woke af on where we were looking when we developed those ideas, but they seem to differ if not actually contradict each other. This difference and apparent conflict arises from imperfect observation and flawed interpretation and thinking. The difference is non-existent in nature.
The quantum eraser experiment has implications for the macroscopic world, because it happens in the macroscopic world on a microscopic scale. We just haven’t observed or figured out what the implications are yet.

GuestGonna go against the grain here and say it’s possible. Our understanding of existence is very rudimentary and the fact that speculative math implies theoretical possibility indicates that sufficient understanding and control would make it possible. Probably not for a long time though, and our psyche and values might be different enough as a result of achieving the required understanding that FTL at that point will be seen as pointless.

GuestNope, it’s pretty simple. Electrons have negative charge, so they’re electromagnetically attracted to protons, and have negative mass, so they’re gravitationally repulsed. The electron orbit forms due to the balance of these two forces.

aside from that the craft being able to survive faster than light speed means nothing. nothing inside will survive the speed. earth to mars in less than a day and all you sent there is chum. good work. *golf clap

Everybody here needs to read this now. Einstein had the right idea with the unified field theory. The problem was that he couldn’t explain the mechanical origin of gravity. Unfortunately he died 10 years before the discovery of the quarks. If he had known about quarks he would have realized that quark non-linear acceleration within the proton generates spatial contraction and therefore gravity. The contraction is spherically symmetric, like gravity, due to the dynamic geometry of the three quark motion in the proton and neutron.
Also the Michaelson and Morley experiment is completely wrong. They should be using relativistic massive particle to detect the aether wind instead of photons. Repeat the Michaelson and Morley experiment using protons at CERN and you will find aether wind in the data.

The aether is the one true field of the universe. Read the paper link I gave you pea brained fuck before you open yourdumb scrote mouth gain.

GuestQM is fundamentally wrong in the same way Newtonian physics is wrong. QM is a wonderfully accurate theory of the very small. It completely breaks when you try and quantize gravity. It also makes absurd predictions about the magnitude zero point energy of space which any LULZscrote knows about. scrotebrain scroteS LIKE YOU never shut up that the experts are always right because they are experts hurr durr. Actually freaking think, why have we not been able to quantize gravity???Why does QM make so many absurd unphysical predictions??QM can never take mankind to the ultimate TRUTH of physics, its nothing more than an incredibly accurate approximation of small particle kinematics.

GuestWhat the fuck?
We can already leave the solar system with current technology, you know?Conventional solar sails or plasma magnetic sails could both get you to 0.3c acceleration. That gets you to Alpha Centauri in roughly 12 to 15 years.
In fact, Breakthrough Starshot, which is a project that is actually ongoing, plans to send a fleet of micro-ships with cameras using this solar sail method, travelling at 0.2c and getting there in a little over 20 years.
Another method would be a nuclear pulse propulsion system, as in pic related. This spaceship concept, called Medusa, could also accelerate to 0.3c, though it would be controversial among normies and we would need to refine some aspects of materials science, it’s also doable with current technology.
There’s also the issue of time dilation. Time dilation is your friend. On the example of a 12 year trip to Alpha Centauri at 0.3c, time would tick at a slower pace for the astronauts travelling, so from their perspective only 4 years would pass.
So you have no idea what you are talking about. If we can leave the solar system with the primitive tech we have right now, we will certainly get better at it in the future provided we are still around and interested in funding these efforts.

This phrase should be a super-obvious red flag.>On the example of a 12 year trip to Alpha Centauri at 0.3c, time would tick at a slower pace for the astronauts travelling, so from their perspective only 4 years would pass.
Do you just make these numbers up?
Try this:
tau = sqrt(1-v2/c2)
At v = 0.3c, tau (your time dilation factor) is 0.954. A 12 year journey (to the outside world) will take 11.44 years to those on board.
Also SUPER skeptical about reaching 0.3c with near-future technology.-

GuestThe technology to send a Human into Alpha Centauri already exists. Project Orion, Medusa. It’s not unattainable, there is just a lack of political will. Humans could endure a trip of 12 years there.

Sure, but even "Breakthrough Starshot" says 20-30 years of travel for microbots to reach Alpha Centauri, and we’ll hopefully have developed the tech to do that within the next 25 years.

GR is only reliable at large scales. So many of the more obscure things that the theory allows for, like the Alcubierre drive, are not reliable predictions in anyway.
Because in a proper full theory of gravity, these would be affected by quantum phenomena, and once you incorporate that into the theory these obscure predictions might just go away.

Ok, cupcake.
Still not hearing how FTL is "I don’t know" with our current knowledge.
GR’s conflict with FTL is woke af on causality, not gravity.
I’m pretty sure we’ve know FTL is a pipe dream since the Harding administration.

GuestProbably 1-200 years. We need to understand how gravity actually works rather than just observe its effects, in order to have an FTL drive. Because in order to move an object across space times at higher than relativistic velocities without exceeding the speed of a photon, you need to be able to create a positive and negative gradient in spacetime which can only be done via a manipulation of gravity.
Your pic is literally just that, a manipulation of gravitational gradients to cause "movement" across spacetime without violating causal localities.
