NASA: Can Any Starship/Spaceship Travel At The Speed Of Light?
Hello Steemians!!
Today, I simply got an amazing news which I feel could shake the mind of the people because it's about a Starship which will travel same as the speed of light. This starship is getting designed and developed by NASA.
NASA Engineer and Physicist Harold White announced a few years ago that he was working on a potentially ground-breaking idea that could allow space travel faster than the speed of light.
Yes, like in Star Trek and now to boldly go where no designer has gone before Mark Raid Maker who is collaborating with White, has created a CGI Design concept for the Warp Ship they're calling it the IXS Enterprise. They wanted to have a decent image of a theory conforming Warp Ship to motivate young people to pursue a stem career.
Raid Maker said it does have some sci-fi features that might never transfer to a possible final design unless they really want a Warp Ship such as the IXS Enterprise which could allow travel to interstellar space in a matter of weeks rather than say centuries and the science behind why it might be possible is truly mind-blowing.
An over simplified explanation is that the concept seeks to exploit a Loophole in Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity that allows travel faster than the speed of light by expanding space-time behind the object and contracting space-time front of it.
White whose title is Advanced Propulsion theme lead for the NASA Engineering Directorate has mathematically calculated a possible way to accomplish this using far less energy than required by the original theory which was proposed in 1994 by physicist Miguel Alcubierre. His concept requires using large rings that surround the space craft to greatly reduce the amount of energy needed to Warp space-time in front of and behind the spacecraft the rings are most important as they will form the Warp bubble. Raid Maker said it is email the way they are designed now will reduce the energy requirement needed to form the bubble by quite a large factor also they try to fill up as much space within the Rings.
It's expensive to leave that open or unused. White and his team at NASA's Eagle Works Labs are now working to create a proof of concept for this idea so how quickly can this all become a reality according to White proving that the mass can become a reality in the lab is the first and probably most important step in the process.
