Stuff that we do not read about often…
Any of us who are Star Trek fans have always believed that the technology of star trek is possible, even though countless others have said it is not. Yet, as science proves, such phenomena is not without some scientific merit.
Take the concept of the Alcubierre Drive and a modification of the theory called the Krasnikov Tube. Both theories show the possibility that the laws of nature do allow the creation of drives that can accomplish the same effects as a Star Trek’s Warp drive. Yes, there are arguments against them, but these arguments are all based on one assumption that we cannot build or control a device capable of such phenomenon. Such thinking is backward thinking assuming current knowledge of technology, who to say what knowledge we gain in the future (should we survive) that would allow us to use or build devices to accomplish these theories. As such we cannot assume that warp technology would never exit. It does not exist now, that much we can surely say and it may not exist for generations. But can one day we make such a thing…. We cannot say no we never will or yes…. it might very well come to be.
Another interesting subject is Eugene Podkletnov while being ridiculed by many, he may have a substantial point in his pursuit of gravitational manipulation, which is a predicted effect of aspects of superconductivity under certain conditions. Why are we so quick to label him a crackpot just because the media wants to shove the term “anti-gravity” upon him and all the nonsense pseudo science in attempt to make him one of those. The fact is he might have accomplished a phenomena that will gain us knowledge into the behavior of gravitational forces, if at least it gives us a better understanding of gravity even if a propulsion system is too far fetched. We should not discount an qualified scientific theory without using Occam’s Razor and verifiable data and not by our prejudices.
