Ok, im a noob, so go easy.
How about thinking how to make the technologies seen in stargate a reality? I got some ideas for inertial dampeners, a crude 'ZPM' device, and FTL travel
Inertial dampeners/artificial gravity:
(idea 1) simply put, a rotating heavy mass. Imagine a hollow torus filled with a heavy plasma. Electromagnets on the exterior of the torus accelerate the plasma to relativistic speeds. Then, general relativity takes over by 'increasing' the mass of the plasma, and increasing the gravitational pull of the plasma. Any matter near the device would conduct itself relative to the device rather than an external gravity source. (Based on the theory of the late Proffessor Robert Foreward)
(idea 2) electrogravity: some experimental work done in the 1940's has shown that high voltage DC current, when applied to parrallel plates (ie capacitor) results in a distortion of the surrounding gravity field. Dr Townsend Brown demonstrated this technology to the US army in the early part of last century. Needless to say, that research all of a sudden stopped...
Now for ZPE...
actually, im not sure weather this is exactly ZPE, but if magnets store potential energy, and can repell against each other, why not set 3 up 120 degrees apart on an axel, use 2 additional magnets to get the axel moving, and hook it up to a generator?
and FTL travel (Faster than Light)
according to einstein, nothing can go superluminal. I rekon that is only partially true. Sure you cant travel AT 'c', but why not use quantum mechanics to get around it? If time is quantum (plank time), then all you would need is to time your acceleration so that you go from C-X kph, to C+Y kph in less than the plank time (10^-43 seconds). From there, you'll easily get up to twice 'c', before you have to accelerate more to go faster (it makes sense when you plot reletivistic effect to speed via rel=abs(1/sqrt(1-(V^2/C^2)))). The energy required is mc^2 of course, and the accelerations required to get around the light speed barrier without much reletevistic effect on mass are enormous.... until you put inertial dampeners in the vessel.
So, what have you to say people? Please, let me know what you think. If anyone else has true scientific ideas that they think can be applied to the real world, drop a post off.
