The universe is 13.8 billion years old. The JWST has found galaxies formed just 400 million years after the Big Bang. It took the earth 4.6 billion years to form, and 1 billion years to create life. Our best theory of the universe, General Relativity, has solutions that allow for faster-than-light travel via some Alcubierre type drive (some [without negative mass](https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.02709)), and even wormholes. Even with newtonian mechanic style solutions, it's estimated that it would only take Von Neumann self-replicating probes about 100k years to traverse our own galaxy. Is it…

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.02709 https://github.com/NerdsWithAttitudes/WarpFactory I'm impressed that they've removed the requirement for negative energy, but it's not quite ready to hand the drawings to your local machine shop to build one. It requires matter packed to an energy density on the order of 10^39 joules per cubic meter. According to [1], oil has a (chemical) energy density of 4.5x10^10 joules per cubic meter, purified uranium produces 1.5x10^15 J/m^3 in a fission reactor, and that same uranium in pure mass-to-energy conversion produces on the order of 10^21 J/m^3. Uranium has a…

> not moving fast: so where does the time dilation come from?! I think it’s from shifting momentum?? The paper is far beyond me [1]. But as I understood it, you’re directly modifying space-time with energy instead of using acceleration as a go-between. [1] https://arxiv.org/html/2405.02709v1

Link to paper: Though I'm not a physicist, and it's pretty technical, I didn't really understand most of it. https://arxiv.org/html/2405.02709v1
