Hi all, i've been thinking lately aboit a few things, including the laws of physics and alien spaceship technology. If these laws are just theories, of if there true is another story. But doesn't it say that if someone was to go faster then the speed of light that the person would almost explode and time would slow down. But how do you think, they tavel so fast? Do you think that the laws of physics are just theories, and that the universe can be pushed much farther?

Thanks for the replies everyone, including blaqmyst. I've wondered if einstein's theory was true or not. Blaqmyst, do you know any good resources on the internet that has information on psychics and different worlds were i can read more up on this? Any symposiums or physists that study this idea? Any place were i can get new research being done? Thanks blaq

While Alcubierre's bubble was spherical, Van Den Broeck envisioned a bottle-shaped bubble with a large interior and an extremely narrow mass. In other words, the bubble's inside could be large enough to fit a starship, but the mouth, where the negative energy would be located, would be microscopic.
The idea is interesting, Ford said, but it still doesn't quite add up.
"The problem is, it's unclear how to get the ship into it, like a model ship in a glass bottle." he said. "Nobody knows if it's possible to open the mouth up without expending huge amounts of negative energy. There are still significant barriers to creating it."
Van Den Broeck agrees. Though his warp bubble could run on less than a gram of negative energy, it is still physically impossible to generate that much today. And there are other issues.
Van Den Broeck does not underestimate the challenge of what is largely a theoretical proposition. "To have a warp bubble, you need to be able to manipulate space-time on a very small scale, and we can't do that yet."
