If you accelerate at a lovely 9.81 m/s^2 you reach light speed in about a year or so. So if you time it right and decelerate with the same rate you can reach about any place in the nearby universe in about two years. Just need to figure out this pesky energy problem.

Straight up propulsion correct but then you cant get the energy required for that, if we can somehow figure out a way to bend space to create a "warp" bubble the internal zone should act as we expect, but the energy requirements there are still fucking enormous and im not sure that would be feasible without us inadvertently creating a singularity that we could never escape from so there are just problems inherently there for either method lol permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (3 children) If you do use a warp bubble (we'd need to figure out negative mass, which likely doesn't exist), your local time will not dilate nearly as much, so the subjective time for the traveling observer might actually be a lot longer permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] AlfredoJohn@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago (2 children) Would it dilate for either observer, though? If the purpose of it is to just fold space time in essence shrinking the distance traveled I dont think we would see any significant time dilation occur for either point of reference as in that hypothetical scenario you would be using the fold in space time produced by such a drive to make two points in space closer together so in theory you never travel significantly close to the speed of light and time should flow pretty much "normally" for both points of reference. What I do wonder is would anything that gets touched by the horizon of that bubble/wave be effected, and such a drive would have to cause massive gravitational waves like a boat that moves through the ocean, what would be the effects from such a drive functioning in that manor be to anything near it or that it touches.
