ideas about star trek tech

post ideas about tecnoligy here.

What do ya think about warp drive?

regular or transwarp?

regular.
I have bean theroriseing on it for months.

for example how mutch energy it would take to just move the Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) 10,000KM at warp 9.

A nuclear powerplant or two maybe?

nah that wouldent create suffitiont power to create a warp feild.
you would probibly need fusion or matter antimatter reactions.

Yeah, this isn't my field of expertise. I know more on the borg than anything else really, weel, I used to at least

well i was talking to a mate last night and we think you could create a warp feild by puting a lage current through a wire thereby createing a lage magnetic feild.
but that probibly wont work but is a idea.

Einstein proved that nothing can go faster than light than light itself, but if we had enough power to move the space around a ship, that would work. That would take the energy of about a billion suns though, which we don't have!

I still wonder about Einstein's theroy. Since we really don't know everything and I don't beleive anything is impossible. But I do remember reading some where about someone or people made a cloaking device... I'll have to see if I can find it.

Einstins theroy was baced on maths and you can allways get a wrong awser in maths.
so maybe if you can manipulate the maths in a ligitimate way then if must be possible to minipulate space in the same way.

Well, there is a flaw with that. What is the speed of light? Light goes at different speeds depending on the environment.

the speed of light is the speed in witch eletoromagnetic radiation travels through a vacum.
and scientists have made light go faster than the speed of light.
so logicly it should be possible to make matter go faster than the speed of light.

though we will never see the day a peice of matter say the size of....a B2 stealth bomber

go that fast

(the human race might never see that at all)

who care its fun to therorise.
and any way the B52 is better. no argument

but which one is more likly for u to get home in one peice

the us has never lost a single one (probably because their so dang expensive)

and well how many do they have and when a blackbird crashed it was not officialy recorded. so how would you know

lol good point but the word would still come out

in about 20 years.

lol

anyway back on topic.

what about how a clocking devive might work?

that would would be nice

just think.....

"hey jkanig" "yeah jokion" "do you see that shimmer by the rock over there"
"yeah what about it" "doesnt the figure look a little....disturbing."
"yeah now that that you mention it it does look like a cloaked soldier"
"yeah....oh well back to our patrols"
*turn around walk off*
*BANG* *BANG*

that would be funny.
no more stelth spy planes.

but how would it work?

dont ask me im not a scientist

nether am I but i still think about it.

lol and somedays i think i would be good as a president

hey at least i would be better than bush

yea probibly.

Well, an idea for a cloaking device is a spherical screen that showed the image of the opposite side (That image is being captured by a camera in the opposite side of the sphere). The thing that wanted to be cloaked should be put inside the sphere...

good idea

yea but a little impractical.

Well, what other ways could exist to make something invisible or to make things go out of phase?
Maybe some kind of radiation would work, but it would be lethal...

unless you could have raidoactive shelding.

Nope because the radioactive shielding would undo the effects of the radioactivity; the radioactivity would make something invisible, but if that something becomes radioactive-proof, it'll become visible again, right?

its possible.

ill see if i can think of any other ones.

to confusing... head might.... explode

well, this is a stupid metaphor but look, you throw water to a towel. The towel gets wet. If the towel is waterproof, then it won't get wet, understood?

Now imagine this, but think that the water is radiation, the towel is a person, and being wet is being invisible:

You irradiate someone with radiation, the radiation makes that someone invisible (And dead). If the person is radiation-proof, then he won't get invisible (Nor dead)...

ok i get it but its impractical.

and any way the dilithium cristl matrix is subjected to intence radiation and its visible.

anyway how about photon torpedos?

The only impossible thing of that is keeping the photons restrained to a space without being reflected, absorbed or refracted, which means, having the photons stopped in the middle of a container.

im shure its possible. but how?

Well, i believe someone stopped light somewhen, i just don't remember who nor when... I'm sure they were some scientists, but i don't know if they were from CERN, or NASA, or MIT or another science facility...

yea thats probibly true.
but then how is the damage caused?

because to stop light you need a lot of energy, and when the torpedo collides, that energy is released, because the photons' containment is broken.

Of course this is all theoretical

that is possible. but antimatter would probibly have a greater yeild.

That's true, but antimatter is very unstable. How would you get it inside a missile or a torpedo without generating a matter-antimatter reaction/explosion? I believe it's easier to stop light that to do that.

mabey but a strong magnetic feild might work.

Yes, but a strong magnetic field would disable electronic and electric systems, so, unless you fired the missile/torpedo very near, you wouldn't get it to go to the right target, and if you were very near, you would die. With a magnetic field, you wouldn't be able to program the missile's trajectories.

but if you uce magnetic sheilding then the electronics would not be affected.

Yes, but then it wouldn't be a missile, it would be a space shuttle! Those systems are big, and all of them together...

hey who said missiles have to be small?
