以前気になった記事に『これが本物の恒星間宇宙船用ワープドライブ』とあり、
2009/6/16 19:39 - 画像はテキサス州ヒューストンで宇宙関連のコンサルタントをしているRichard Obousy博士が考案したワープドライブを装備した恒星間宇宙船の想像図。
Obousy博士が唱えるワープドライブとは、カシミール効果を利用することで、周囲の暗黒物質に波に似た人為的な歪みに生じさせ、宇宙船をその波に乗せることで前進させるというもので、理論的に実現可能なものだとしてこれまでに複数の学術論文を発表している。
ワープドライブに関しては、Gigazineに『SF映画やアニメなどに出てくる「ワープ航法」は実現可能』とあり、Telegraphの記事から説明されていました。『Star Trek warp drive is a possibility, say scientists』の中では、
Interplanetary Society, a starship could "warp" space so that it shrinks ahead of the vessel and expands behind it.
By pushing the departure point many light years backwards while simultaneously bringing distant stars and other destinations closer, the warp drive effectively transports the starship from place to place at faster-than-light speeds.
All this extraordinary feat requires, says the new study, is for scientists to harness a mysterious and poorly understood cosmic antigravity force, called dark energy.
Dark energy is thought responsible for speeding up the expansion rate of our universe as time moves on, just like it did after the Big Bang, when the universe expanded much faster than the speed of light for a very brief time.
This may come as a surprise since, according to relativity theory, matter cannot move through space faster than the speed of light, which is almost 300,000,000 metres per second. But that theory applies only to unwarped 'flat' space.
And there is no limit on the speed with which space itself can move: the spaceship can sit at rest in a small bubble of space that flows at "superluminal" - faster than light - velocities through normal space because the fabric of space and time itself (scientists refer to spacetime) is stretching.
...
The new warp drive work also draws on "string theory", which suggests the universe is made up of multiple dimensions. We are used to four dimensions - height, width, length and time but string theorists believe that there are a total of 10 dimensions and it is by changing the size of this 10th spatial dimension in front of the space ship that the Baylor researchers believe could alter the strength of the dark energy in such a manner to propel the ship faster than the speed of light.
などとあったようですから、その理論を元に恒星間宇宙船用ワープドライブを考案したそうです。凡人のAOには良く分からないですが、常識を覆す話ですね。UFO世界では常識的な技術かもと...
