500kg sounds trivial, until you realize they mean conversion of 500kg of antimatter into energy being able to use 100% of this energy for the drive. Good luck solving that problem any time soon. You have the time though, it's going to take a really long time to make or gather 500kg of antimatter.
Then there's the problem of destroying your destination when you arrive in shower of gamma radiation.
- EGreg 14y agoCan't we convert 1000kg (1Mg?) and use 50% of the energy? Also why the gamma radiation shower?
- c1u 14y agoMaybe, but then how do we radiate away 500kg of pure energy before it reduces the ship to a plasma? Not easy. regarding the GRB - http://www.universetoday.com/93882/warp-drives-may-come-with-a-killer-downside/ http://www.universetoday.com/93882/warp-drives-may-come-with...
