Problem: Space is a big place. How do we get around it in a reasonable time? Obviously travelling the vast reaches of space at sub-light speed is just not practical. But what about Einstein's theories? Well actually he only said you can't travel AT the speed of light, so travelling Faster Than Light (FTL) is still an option ... Do we do it by harnessing the Dark Matter that pervades space to generate the vast energy necessary for our engines? Do those engines surf light waves or push the ship through sub-space? Perhaps we need a warp bubble around the ship whereby the interior of the bubble is in normal space and thus people don't end up squished against bulkheads when the ship accelerates? How about generating a stable wormhole, controlled from one end and big enough to let a spaceship through? (People are actually working on this theory for real.) Of course Doctor SciFi knows that the most efficient way of getting around the universe is by "folding space" so that two points in space become joined temporarily and you can just step through. He calls it a "Tesseract". But whenever he tries to explain the theory to us, our brains turn to mush. |
