How about people who are interested in warp physics study warp physics, and those interested in establishing off-world colonies spend their time on that persuit?
- trompetenaccoun 5y agoFair. I certainly didn't mean that they shouldn't be able to study this. To use an analogy my point is more that it's similar to how early hominids "studied" going to the moon when they didn't even know how to make fire yet. It's an interesting idea to think about but was science fiction then, just like warp drives are today. Science fiction doesn't necessarily mean it's unscientific. But we don't know where to get the energy equivalent of 1/10th of the solar mass and somehow put it in a spaceship. It's absolutely not something we can work on solving even in theory right now.
