They sort the rocket designs by propulsion. Is there a specific rocket design you are looking for?
I am not certain our solar system will drift closer to the Alpha Centauri system over time. I will look it up. Solar sail may be workable, but decelerating at your destination star system with just solar sails is tricky.
Oh. The problem with wormholes is that most proposals, if not all, call for you having exotic matter, usually widen and wedge open the wormhole 'mouth'. Plus, most physicists feel exotic matter is as real as fairy dust.
Seems to me like someone needs to test the theory and just take one for the team. Just throw some science at the wall and see what sticks.
Atomic??????? This site says atomic rockets!!!!
Quantum entanglement could yield an method for unbreakable communications encryption, but if you talking about using the quantum entanglement phenomenon for transmitting data, that is not physically possible due the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
That is just the title for the site. The creators wanted a retro-futuristic funny title.
Ok, I think I'm done with this site.
Small amounts of it have been produced through the casimir effect, but still barely any.
Wait, what? Even one particle of exotic matter, particularly the kind needed for wormholes and warp drives, would be a guaranteed Nobel Prize. That doesn't even fit in the standard model yet.
If we truly are going to jump down the wormhole, I suggest we read this:
Source?
In physics, exotic matter is matter that somehow deviates from normal matter and ... exotic matter is the region of pseudo-negative -pressure density produced by the Casimir effect.
That's not "producing small amounts of exotic matter", that's just a speculative interpretation of an analogous phenomenon. Hence the "The closest known real representative" part, which you should have added in that quote.
There is also this book I have which states it in
Eh, I couldn't be asked to read it that much before linking
I’ll point out that the term “quasi-particle” is extremely important here. That puts these in the same category as electron holes and phonons. They’re typically mathematical constructs that make aggregate stochastic calculations easier and aren’t actually matter. For example, when dealing with a shit ton of electrons in a P-type semiconductor, it’s way easier to model a hypothetical positive particle moving through the substrate rather than all of the electrons. If I understand correctly, the Casimir Effect results from “filtering” the zero-point fluctuations of the electromagnetic field. You can have a negative differential, but the field to my knowledge has a strictly positive energy. Modeling the experiment as a negative energy quasi-particle in a zero-valued field might make calculations with a negative differential easier just like a positive quasi-particle did, but that is very different from producing a negative energy particle.
Right but the solution for landing would be inverting the sail to make a more solid landing. I think? XD
