Why not try to generate a bubble, if it works great, otherwise try formalize it in greater detail. If warp bubbles are possible than it may be that they are already being created through random chance at the micro-level in the natural world.
- VLM 13y ago"Why not try to generate a bubble," Missing the part from the paragraph about having no idea how to generate that condition, although if it existed in the past it would presumably be "sorta stable" in fact it would never be able to shut off as presently understood. A good analogy would be trying to talk to the original Lada Ada about silicon based computers without the folks of that era knowing enough solid state physics to contemplate whats going on in a simple transistor. "So if you could magically understand how to create a transistor, which won't happen for a century, then logically it follows that such and such array of those magic devices would make a great full adder circuit to add binary numbers"

- tekacs 13y agocf. Shor's algorithm in that: this could at least be useful busywork/speculative preparation?
- Someone 13y agoSo what? Half of number theory (I don't know enough of it to say whether that _is_ an exaggeration) does right that: "If the generalized Riemann hypothesis is true, ..."
- VLM 13y agoIts a more fundamental problem. Like "Wouldn't it be cool to be able to multiply. At least for reasonable small integers, if you could add, which you can't at this time, then you could multiply simply by repeated addition. But, of course, you can't add, so ...".
