Interesting article, but I don't think they'll be testing a working model in five years. And who the hell is Burkhard Heim?
US Government Investigates Travel in other Dimensions Oh... he's This Guy. And a link to the 2004 paper: Guidelines for a space propulsion device based on Heim's quantum theory (pdf) |
There was some stuff on this guy in New Scientist.
he had, as I recall, a fringe* interpretation of quantum Theory, that was consistent with experiment but is not shared by most physicists. In other words, there is a good chance his theory is wrong. *Not fringe as in nutjob, just fringe as in most physicists don't hold to it. http://www.newscientist.com/channel/...yperspace.html I suppose it's worth testing his ideas, though I'm not holding my breath. |
We can't even make a decent fusion reactor using well known theory that is actually correct (as far as we know), so I wouldn't get too excited about any hyperspace engines. I agree with ADT though. It's worth looking.

An interesting idea, but if the physics do turn out to be legit and this idea is plausible, you have watch out cause you don't want to end up in a situation like this

There is no fucking way I'm putting my testicles on a ship that generates a magnetic field powerful enough to go to another dimension.

That is why I like this forum so much, I can even learn about physics. I have to admit that my knowledge of physics is very little so it helps me to read your posts.

Yeah right. Where are the flying cars and robots that can do anything that are common in every household? Wasn't this a vision of the future proposed in the 50's?
