Thanks for the advice! I'm not an investor; I'm examining the landscape of tech startups of a particular type.

Of course I would read it if I had access:-). I just know it's connected with propulsion systems for space industry; an exact solution isn't chosen yet, but magnetic fields and plasma are considered among other options. From what I've read in this thread I dare conclude it won't be extremely...

The fact is, I know about a startup raising funds for a project that involves both theoretical and experimental work in the field of physics. I know more or less how much the theoretical part costs, but I know nothing about how much experiments may cost. That's why I asked:-).

Thanks to all for your replies!

I know that colliders are expensive, but they are absolutely out of the scope of my interest:-). That's why I mentioned magnetic fields and plasma (and no particles:-)).

Thanks!

Thanks a lot to all for your replies!

What is the cost of lab experiments? I do understand that it depends, but let's say it's the cost of experiments conducted in a western country involving 1) strong magnetic fields; 2) plasma. Also, can one find price lists for such things online? Thanks.

Say it to Mr. Thorne, recent Nobel Laureate;-). That his opinions are horse manure.

Quantum physics based models? Seth's one, for example.

Thanks! He wrote about "a number of ways." Tunneling is just one of them:-).

As of today, there are plenty of time machine mathematical models based on general relativity theory (warp drives, wormholes), but few ones based on quantum physics. However, back in 2010, Seth Lloyd wrote: "quantum mechanics supports a variety of counter-intuitive phenomena which might allow...

Thanks for your advice and for a useful and interesting link! They do read the literature. They just want to further, to promote research in the area they are interested in.

Thanks for the reply! As I've said, the idea is to ask to consider a topic very similar to ones that have already been considered by the scientist. Basically, it's the desire to promote more active work in this direction. So no outcome will be taken badly.

I mentioned wormholes and em radiation as an example. The idea is to find a physicist who has already published similar papers and to offer him/her to consider a similar problem (theoretically).
