The discussion centers on the concept of transporting matter via a Warp Bubble instead of the traditional Destroy and Recreate premise found in Star Trek. Participants clarify that while actual physics does not support this idea, it can be considered within the realm of science fiction storytelling. The conversation references the Elway Theorem from the Star Trek episode "The High Ground," which describes a dimensional shift that allows movement without a transporter, albeit with the drawback of damaged DNA.
PREREQUISITESScience fiction writers, physicists interested in theoretical concepts, Star Trek enthusiasts, and anyone exploring the intersection of science and storytelling.
If you are asking about actual physics, no. If you are asking about story magic then you can do anything you want but it would be better to call it a wormhole if you want to give some simulation of actual physics.Mean Grean said:Instead of Matter being destroyed and re-created; what about transporting through a Warp Bubble? I will dumb it down for others that wish to learn...Bubble Theory: Can you transport via a Warp Bubble as opposed to a Destroy and Recreate Premise?
