The Sword and Laser discussion

I still don't totally grog this stuff.
Our local library doesn't' carry "Warp fields for dummies".
I guess I'm going to have to finally read Dr. Kaku's book.

"Space Warp equations are being tested using an instrument called the White-Juday Warp Field Interferometer. At Johnson Space Center, Eagleworks has initiated an interferometer test bed that will try to generate and detect a microscopic instance of a little warp bubble. Although this is just a tiny instance of the phenomena, it will be existence proof for the idea of perturbing space time—a “Chicago pile” moment, as it were. Recall that December of 1942 saw the first demonstration of a controlled nuclear reaction that generated a whopping half watt. This existence proof was followed by the activation of a ~ four megawatt reactor in November of 1943. Existence proof for the practical application of a scientific idea can be a tipping point for technology development."

That really cracked me up.
Thanks.

I still want my hover-car, dammit!

You mean you don't have one yet?

No. And I am appalled (Appalled, I say!) that these scientists are working on warp fields instead of levitation. Everyone knows that hover-cars come before warp fields on the future science chronology.

They're working on that too though:
