RE: Deciphering the monsters of our universe, aka black holes

in #steemstem7 years ago

Interesting and simple information This is what everyone is looking for... There are those who believe that this information is useless...
But NASA has plans for a spacecraft capable of travelling at unimaginable speeds above the speed of light, which is about 300,000 kilometers per second.

All of this came from these ideas in this wonderful topic

I agree, this was a simplistic approach and helps me to start understanding black holes. @lemouth, I am looking forward to additional posts. "Any fool can make things more complex. It takes a touch of genius to move in the opposite direction." Albert Einstein.

Well, there is a strong theoretical problem with this propulsion method (known as Alcubierre drive).

The principle is that you curve positively space time in front (say with a point of huge energy or mass in front of the ship), and negatively at the back... that would create a gravitational pulse that will propulsive the ship forwards (the ship surfs the wave).

But how do you curve space-time negatively? With negative energy / mass? Good luck with that...
