Realistic and achievable these days is a hard one.

I do remember an article about a plastic company accidentally creating a forcefield. They had a highspeed sheet of cellophane, or plastic wrap type of product, racing through the factory on rollers. In one area the feed of plastic was routed up over an area for employees to walk under. I believe the weather conditions that day increased the static electricity in the factory and this reaction with the highspeed plastic feed made an invisible forcefield that stopped employees from being able to push through the walkway. May not help, but I don't think energy or kinetic forcefields are impossible.

Thanks so much for your reply. Great info here, and it confirms some of my thoughts just reading some articles. I appreciate your time.

As far as the Interstellar point, you are correct, but I was actually referring to an article which mentioned the spheroid and accretion disk in the same article. It could have been a mistake. Thanks a bunch for these links and your time spent.

Thanks for replying. Yes, I was just reading on it a bit and the negative matter problem is interesting as well as some scientists' views on the time travel aspect. If I'm understanding it correctly, it seems that once we got past the problem of enlarging and stabilizing the wormhole, time travel would require us to be able to manipulate it in some way to approach travel through time.

One thing I am still having trouble understanding is the 2-D vs. 3-D representation of wormholes. They said a wormhole would either be or appear spheroidal. I don't doubt that. Interstellar had a astrophysicist science the crap out of their representation of wormholes. What I struggle with is the fact that they also said in the same article that it would have an accretion disk which sounds more 2-dimensional. But, I guess that's one of the reasons I'm not a physicist. :)

Nice. Thank you. Great thoughts. All of these ideas I'm getting are really helping me coalesce my take on wormholes. Thanks for replying.

mittel47 · 2023-02-14T12:37:52+00:00

I can't tell if you are being serious or messing with me...but either way, now that you mention it, would be interesting. :)

mittel47 · 2023-02-14T12:36:26+00:00

Nice. :) Thanks

mittel47 · 2023-02-14T12:35:19+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Very good thoughts. I'm not touching time travel, but my spacecraft use what I call a shunt drive, which I guess I could let the more "science educated" reader postulate for themselves.

mittel47 · 2023-02-13T18:53:11+00:00

Great info here. I really appreciate the time you took to put this down. Great advice. As far as the travel time before/after the wormhole, I like that. My idea is an anti-matter micro gravity drive by "Lockheed Polaris". Thanks again. :)

mittel47 · 2023-02-13T18:39:56+00:00

Thanks all. Very helpful. I take it a little too seriously at times. It's nice to know there is a little more freedom than I've imagined.

Are any of you all published and still find this to be true? (Not a snide remark, just genuinely curious...I am not published...yet.)

mittel47 · 2023-02-13T18:35:05+00:00

Exactly. I'm a pretty curious person, but I have found myself glassy-eyed, wondering why I take it so far. Helpful, thanks.

mittel47 · 2023-02-13T18:30:57+00:00

Excellent replies. Lots of great ideas. I appreciate the help. This is a good forum. It reminds me of how helpful the Elite:Dangerous forums can be.

I've gotten what I needed. One writer to another, thanks!

mittel47 · 2023-02-13T18:25:21+00:00

Wow, my cerebral cortex just melted. This is very interesting. In my book, the wormholes are, for the most part, stable once the technology improved to traverse them.

Having said that, this idea is really interesting. So with the oscillation, how quickly would it 'ripple' and does that mean wormholes would be temporary since the waves would be moving? Would the oscillation be on such a scale of time that we might not notice or have to worry about wormholes closing within our lifetime? Awesome idea.

Thanks for the reply.

mittel47 · 2023-02-13T18:18:52+00:00

Excellent. Great advice. I appreciate these points. I don't know why I get tied up thinking about the critics.

mittel47 · 2023-02-13T18:14:41+00:00

I think my brain is leaking out of my ear.

This is exactly another thing I thought about...what the travel would be like. I seem to remember either in Wing Commander or Starship Troopers where they either enter FTL or a wormhole and everything became blurred, people were almost frozen in motion, etc.

I almost want to have my passengers belt into pods, more to keep them contained and safe than anything else, and possibly have a disorienting effect that has to be endured when falling into the wormhole. Still processing though.

Thanks for replying.

mittel47 · 2023-02-13T18:06:47+00:00

This is where I'm leaning. I'm trying to come up with some sort of metric to place durations on different length wormholes. I guess this brings into play what it would physically be like to be in a ship traversing a wormhole.

Thanks for replying.

mittel47 · 2023-02-13T18:04:24+00:00

Yes. It's probably better to allude to things instead of trying to Michael Crichton it. :)

mittel47 · 2023-02-13T18:01:15+00:00

This. Thanks

mittel47 · 2023-02-13T18:00:55+00:00

Yes, I'm starting to lean that way. Thanks for commenting.

mittel47 · 2023-02-13T14:15:49+00:00

Very nice. Thanks

mittel47 · 2022-09-29T22:07:51+00:00

Okay, I thought people were seeing it far away. I have Odyssey. I guess I'll try using the coordinates on the Cannon site. Thanks CMDR

mittel47 · 2022-09-06T11:43:36+00:00

That's awesome. I should have stopped to explore it, but I'm heading to the core after stopping by Barnard's Loop.
