- akozak 16y agoClearly fleitz is assuming he'll be a passenger.
- hugh3 16y agoTalking about warp factors and talking about time dilation don't go well together, unfortunately. The Star Trek universe is, as best I can figure out, nonrelativistic.
- texel 16y agoThis is a bit of hand waving (which is OK because we're talking about imaginary sci-fi constructs) but it was my understanding that since warp drive bends space around you, you're not actually going anywhere near the speed of light, and therefore you experience time similarly relative to people at rest.
- hugh3 16y agoI'd have to see that on a Minkowski diagram before I believed it made sense.
- waterlesscloud 16y agoTwo words- Minkowski Compensators.
- pavel_lishin 16y agoJust reverse the phase polarity in the coupler coils.
- tocomment 16y agoThat's what I assumed too. I wonder how they handle the causality problems with FTL communication?

- ithkuil 16y agono need for warp in order to travel 20 light years and take 10 months subjective time. You just need to travel at 99.91% of the speed of light and you'll get a 1/24 time dilation effect.
- shin_lao 16y agoThere is no time dilation with Alcubierre drives because the ship doesn't move, space around it does. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive
