WARP DRIVE...travelling faster than light..

-



We all know that nothing can travel faster than light; it is the universal speed limit in space. The 299 792 458 m / s constant is the most famous constant in known universe.  In his blog we will see how fast we have to go to reach distant star systems, galaxies, etc.

The fastest man made machine (voyager 1) is travelling at 62,140 km/h which is very slow as compared to universal grand scale. It will take approx 4 light years just to reach our nearest star system Alpha Centauri . So going galactic is beyond our imagination.
Matter of fact is that going at the speed of light won’t make us reach places in universal scale light speed is also slow as compared to the ever expanding universe.

Let me introduce you to warp drive. The ability to manipulate space is the most important concept in regard to warp speed i.e. contracting space in front of the spaceship and expanding it at the back, it won’t violate the cosmic speed limit as the space craft is not moving over the light speed but space time itself moving around the space craft .The other concepts like jump drive or hyper drive seems way too fictional where as though warp drive seems fictional but it has potential as we now understand space time and its workings in good way. Once we figure out this method of propulsion then we can begin our quest in the expanding universe.

How far will we reach?

If the warp drive can accelerate our space craft up to:
  • 10 times the speed of light: It would take just 72 seconds to get to MARS. Oort clouds the beginning edge of our solar system in 72 days. Alpha Centauri (Proxima Centauri) at 83 more days.

  • 1000 times the speed of light: Kepler 442B and 452B (The life potential distant exo planets), now to mention these planets are very far away approx. 1200 light years away so in order not to spend 120 years in space we have to go at 1000 times the light speed which will take only 437 days to reach there.

So now you might have an idea that even at surpassing the speed of light we have to spend years of travelling across space.
  • light year speed per hour: The universe is big, even warp drive cannot help us to go beyond our own expanding universe (200 thousand light years across). At this speed it will take 23 years to reach the edge of our universe.

All these hypothetical speed will require a lot of energy. We can look upon antimatter engines (my previous blog space adventure into reality).
The universe is very large and still expanding; our speed is very slow approx 90 million times slower to the above hypothetical speed. So in order to be intergalactic civilization (my previous blog) we have to go increase our speed.

My next blog will reveal a journey... u can never imagine.

Why we haven't seen ALIENS yet? ...

 Hi, there my Space Adventurers this is most important and interesting blog of all my blogs. We humans always have fascination about the idea that we might not be alone in the universe. I myself think that there is life waiting for us to discover them or they discover us or we are not just that advanced yet.  Now, that sounds spooky...well this blog is a bit long.... When scientists see in deep universe they don’t search for planet full of green men floating in the universe, they try to find civilizations. They might be advanced than us, their technologies might be way beyond our imaginations or they might be vulnerable. What classifies an advance species or civilizations .Till date it is considered that we humans are the only superior species and it perhaps true as we haven’t seen any evidence of other life forms in outer space. If we see just the probability of other life forms it is apparent we should be one of the thousands of civilization in the milky way alone an...

MONSTERS IN SPACE...

MONSTERS IN SPACE   doesn't  mean real monsters  but the  monsters  which are actually there in space. In my fourth blog I revealed about how we are vulnerable of any space object hitting us but we have already started solving but yet one of the main problems is revolving around in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) , yes I am talking about human created junks in space. In this blog we are we are going to discuss about a huge problem of space garbage.   It is rude but true that when we humans get freedom we tend to misuse it and until it becomes a huge problem we don’t even consider of thinking about it. WHAT IS SPACE JUNK? Initially, the term space debris referred to the natural debris found in the solar system: asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. However, now it is mostly termed as the term the debris from the mass of defunct, artificially created objects in space, especially in Earth orbit . Garbage in space is a huge and problem and now it has become lethal...

BLACK HOLE as a SPACE fuel...

So I assume till now everyone might have seen the real and original photo of black hole. It really seems like an orange donut...All our expectations and calculations seemed accurate, this evidence can open new doors and is opening new ideas of impossibility. More study and research understanding it can create wonders. How do you feel when I will say we can use black hole to fuel a space craft for our one and only ideal dream of interstellar travel. There are some crazy ideas for space craft propulsion out there but the tops among them must be the idea to power an interstellar craft with a black hole. The black hole is made from light, yes that’s right a black hole which is a resident space where gravity is so strong that all together not even light can escape can itself be made from light theoretically.   Of course the black hole is made up of matter and lots other stellar masses. Black holes are usually formed when giant star goes supernova, leaves a core behind i...
