![FYI: What Would It Feel Like To Travel At Warp Speed?
It wouldn’t feel like much of anything.
By Daniel Engber
If it were really possible to build a warp drive, using it wouldn’t make you fly back into your seat as in a science-fiction movie. “Inside the spaceship, it would feel absolutely normal,” says physicist Dave Goldberg of Drexel University. “You would be weightless, of course, because you wouldn’t have any acceleration on you at all.”
That assumes you’re on the inside of what’s known as an Alcubierre Bubble—a hypothetical construct that could allow a patch of space to travel at many times the speed of light [see “Warp Factor”]. The crew of a spaceship that had entered such a bubble probably wouldn’t have any sense of traveling at warp speed—“once you’re in there, it’s the most blasé thing in the world,” says Goldberg—but crossing the bubble’s border would be gut-wrenching. It could be as violent as falling into a black hole: The space-time deformation at the edge of the bubble would create an enormous tidal effect, one strong enough to rip your bones apart.

We watched Star Wars IV:A New Hope last week. It’s been a while since either of us had seen it.
…The last time I saw it was with a VHS player.
Besides Mark Hamill’s doe-eyed portrayal of Luke Skywalker, which we both found kinda funny, there were several things that stood out.
There’s a scene in the beginning, when R2D2 and C3PO are captured by Jawas on Tatooine. Look closely as the camera scans the interior of the sandcrawler. Anyone familiar with the 1986 SciFi/Comedy “Short Circuit” will notice a quick shot of Number Five. the robot who came to life when struck by lightning. “No Disassemble Number Five!”
…I’m glad aleespazx took the time to make this video. I don’t think I would have had the patience to do it.
