Writing: Input Wanted Future travel with the tachyon field

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of merging with the tachyon field to achieve faster-than-light (FTL) travel, questioning whether this is feasible or if traditional warp drive technology must be relied upon. The conversation emphasizes that, as a fictional concept, the possibilities are limitless, allowing for creative interpretations of FTL travel. However, it is noted that the framing of such ideas as factual does not align with the criteria for serious scientific discourse, highlighting the distinction between speculative fiction and established physics.

Is it possible at all to merge with the tachyon field for a while to obtain FTL travel. Or do I have to go back to the good old standard warp drive?

As I said in response to your other post, since this is pure fiction, you can have it do anything you want it to do.
 

Thread 'Map of a 4D planet'

A map of a four-dimensional planet is three dimensional, so such can exist in our Universe. I made one and posted a video to the Internet. This is all based on William Kingdon Clifford's math from the 19th century. It works like this. A 4D planet has two perpendicular planes of rotation. The intersection of such a plane with the surface of the planet is a great circle. We can define latitude as the arctan( distance from one plane/distance from the other plane). The set of all points...
