After its mention in new scientist, the US government has come forward with a definate answer, they are investigating this technology.. engaging in some new unified field theories first brought forward by Heim.

String theory is terrible at predicting physical effect's, but the present occurance of highly acclaimed higher symmetry electrodynamic models linking electromagnetisim and gravity are probably why they feel it realistically needs to be investigated.
 
Also, if a large enough magnetic field was created, the craft would slip into a different dimension, where the speed of light is faster, allowing incredible speeds to be reached. Switching off the magnetic field would result in the engine reappearing in our current dimension.

The Philadelphia Experiment anyone?
 
Well, Nasa needs something.

The space shuttle program is becoming a joke after a relatively successful 1990's (I don't remember any trouble between Challenger (1987) and Columbia (2003))

There was an X plane that was set to replace the shuttle using Scramjet engines but i think it got cancelled, the idiots.
 
This would solve the radiation prolem as well.
 
my moneys on 250 years until they master this technoledgy and be available to citizens.
 
Money's on that certain groups within the military have already mastered the principal's behind the tech.. but when the public will find out is the question of course.

You have to take history into account, we progress in leaps and bound's, every 100 years or so.. we randomly discovered electricity, we exploited it.. everything changed drastically within 20 years, we are due for another spree.

Just in time for Team Fortress 2 to come out on PC.
 
well, my great grandchildren will be slipping back into our dimention on their hypredrive bikes just in time for dinner and the release of Duke Nukem Forever.

"another magnetic field device set to change physics as we know it"

like the majority of the replies in that link, and like my response to all the other ones:

I'll believe it when i see it...

So far none of the others have changed the world, lol
 
I'd scold you for the irrelevant forum macro but I didn't exactly provide anything useful earlier.

My friend, after reading a "string theory for dummies" type book, claims that it confirms the concept of warp in Star Trek. Next thing we know string theory will prove the existence of ghosts and unicorns.

Stringing Us Along, From Dick Jackson.

I was reading Feedback's piece on new-age "medicine" to my wife. It warns that dodgy products can be detected by their promoters' use of words like "vibration" and "energy" (17 December 2005).

"Reminds me of string theory," she commented.

I read the Hyperdrive article two weeks ago and thought "Holy crap, Clarky!"
And this week, they've got a short thing about Cold Fusion coming closer to being reproducable in a lab, or something. Coincidence? I think not. They're blatantly ripping off your ideas, Clarky :)

German's come up with all of the good theories, apart from National Socialism that is.
 
Ah, this again.
Be great if the theory works, just don't let the test pilot on the first manned version watch event horizon beforehand.

I saw that movie yesterday

I'm scared D:
 
I think they're going to get this crazy strong magnetic field flowing, and **** all is going to happen. It's just going to sit there screwing up your watch and wiping your ipod.

Oh noes, my credit card! :eek:

And we'll have to go back to old systems that didn't have magnetic hard drives :laugh:
Reminds me of a quote someone made (here, I think):
"In my time, we couldn't save our games. We made them ourselves and played them, and when we turned off the computer, they were gone. And we were happy with that."

Frighteningly, even though I'm pretty young, I remember those days D:

Oldest piece of hardware I've ever come across (that still worked), was a notebook with 2 3,5-inch drives. One for the OS, and one for the data.
Happy days.

I was brought up on one of these:

To save stuff, you had to plug in a tape drive and wait a few hours for it to work. And we had Donkey Kong on cartridge!

My dad only started to buy computers after the Atari and C64 days. Too bad, would have loved to code my own game if I were bored :p
 
Giant magnetic feild? Like the one every astral body in the universe emanates?

Maybe we are already in this other slipstreaming dimension. :eek:

We had a Commodore Amiga, and an Atari ST, as well as the Atari 800. The ST broke, and the Amiga we sold. I miss them.

I've still got a c64 fully working with about 300 games.
Well, fully working about 7 years ago, it's been stored since then.
I'd imagine if i used it now i'd prob give up after the rediculous 10 minute loading times. "i'll put the kettle on"
I can remember coding my own text adventure in commodore basic, was pretty easy to use.
 
A giant magnetic field?? Don't they realize they'll create Iron Man? He's got boots of lead, man. It's just a matter of time before we are all filled with dread.
