can you be more specific why exotic matter produces causality violation? Let's not talk about what we would need to create a warp drive, but simply about the mathematical models for the geometry to be created.
why would the geometry of spacetime of a warp drive create causality violation, but...
Just like a Alcubierre Drive.
Ok, but I hear that an Alcubierre Drive, if it could be made, would travel back in time, because even if it´s the space-time around the ship which is moving, it would still go fast than the Speed of Causality (aka Light Speed).
If going faster than C even if...
yes, I understand that... but that is when we think "as a whole". When we think about the atmosphere as atoms, aren´t the atoms in the atmosphere reflecting the light?
no. But does seeing a red cup makes that cup red? As far as I understand, that cup is not red, it´s just reflecting more red...
I got cornered in a discussion on the internet... I am not sure if I am right or not (I thought I was when I started). If you guys here tell me I am wrong, I have no problem admitting if I am indeed wrong
first... person 2 said "Refraction =/= reflection. The atmosphere is colorless because...
regarding Steve´s post, here is GiThruster´s (who is part of Woodward´s mail list and performs a few experiments himself), posted at Talk Polywell forum:

I did not create the thread, nor I am pushing the issue any further. Also, I did not advertise the book, for it was the creator of the thread who said it was a David Brin book. I only posted a passage of the book, so maybe we could better understand the concept.
When I said two Nobel...
I sent David Brin a message pointing out to discussions on the net saying his refrigerator laser was implausible and asking him if he really thought the concept would work, if it would only work with the physics knowledge of the Galactics (in the books), etc
here is his answer
"Thanks for your...
here is the quote from the book which explains basically what David Brin (he is a astroner with a Master degree in applied physics and a Doctor in Philosofy of space exploration) thought about his "refrigerator laser"
other parts of the book explain it better.
why exactly are you guys dismissing Lightcraft?
Myrabo got some partners already... Brazil is doing hypersonic tunnel tests for lightcraft while Myrabo works with the US airforce.
Also, people forgot to mention SKYLON here.
WOW, you are the first person to have thought about that!
NOT!
This is the basis for the theory of relativity. If two ships at the speed of light are traveling in opposite directions, in YOUR theory, from your own frame of view you would be stopped and the other ship would come towards...
I suggest reading this long thread at NSF Forums, in special for the many posts by GI-Thruster and Star-Drive (Paul March), both involved at ME-Effect experiments and with Woodward.
