It might be just what we need to power an Alcubierre drive. I'd probably want them to research this kind of energy source for at least 200 years before trying something like that, though. We wouldn't want to wipe out the solar system by accident.
- RobertoG 10y ago"We wouldn't want to wipe out the solar system by accident." I'm totally with you there. If we are going to do it we should be doing it on purpose.

- HCIdivision17 10y agoHow... how in the name of Science are you supposed to keep track of an attometer-wide object?! The dang thing would be so easy to lose I imagine that misplacing the drive would be the biggest problem such a ship would have! We always imagine spaceships with these brilliant, impressive reactors and drives, and here's one that is so underwhelming it may as well not be there. (Save for the petawatt energy flowing off it...)
- sevenless 10y agoWell, it's not that hard to keep track of an atomic nucleus. I suppose you charge the thing up and manipulate it with electromagnetic fields.
