codyg1985’s Think Tank

An article by Damn Interesting talks about the theories that German physicist Burkhard Heim proposed that would unite the macrosopic world of Einstein and Relativity and the microsopic world of Quantum Theory. Those ideas could be used to create a propulsion system that would allow for hyperspace travel between two points. The propulsion system would work by modifying the nature of space immediately around the system.

The article links to the New Scientist article that has seemingly created a blogging frenzy about the subject. A link to the PDF of the paper that lays out the theories behind the hyperdrive system can be found here.
