(Impossible!) + > Impulse Engine: An engine causing acceleration through creating gravitational potential, not requiring a negative energy gradient, but not allowing relativistic speeds either. (Seems more possible than other things here.) + > Wormhole traversal: Theoretically possible with exotic matter / negative energy gradient, also theoretically allows warp travel. + > Alcubierre drive: Theoretical model of warp drive, requires more energy than a solar system(citation needed) and negative energy. + > Helical Engine: Taking advantage of inertial mass changes in a stream of orbiting particles traveling at relativistic speeds to generate momentum without reaction mass in a closed system. (Impossible!) + > Gyroscopic Inertial Thruster: Generates an anomalous thrust vector by pushing on a gyroscope. (Impossible, thoroughly studied.) + > Dean drive: Some dude made a drive that actually works by friction, but was reported as a closed system reactionless drive. + > Quantum vacuum thruster (QVT): Theoretical system like a plasma thruster, but operating on quantum vacuum fluctuations (aka the zero-point field) instead of a propellant. + > Casimir drive: Hypothetical drive pushing off of the zero-point field.. Basically a QVT's alternate name. + > Resonant cavity thruster: Akin to the EmDrive, supposedly produces net thrust through resonating an electromagnetic wave through a conical cavity. Closed system, impossible. + > VSL drive: A drive that manipulates the speed of light locally to provide faster travel than otherwise possible. (I made this one up.) + > Bimetric gravity drive: Made it up. Basically treating gravity as two metric tensors where the speed of light can become variable (hey whaddaya know, it's related to VSL) + > FSD (Frameshift Drive): The FTL technology of the Elite universe, adjusts reference frames somehow allowing travel at many relativistic speeds. + > Field propulsion drive: A class of drives based on pushing off of fundamental fields (i.e. Higgs field) instead of using propellant. These probably all violate physics. + > Semi-inert drive: Fictional drive that partially eliminates inertia, allowing FTL travel. (Skipping infinite inertia buildup on approach to c, and skipping past the limit of c entirely.) + > Chromodynamic drive: Made-up name for a drive, inspired by quantum chromodynamics, a real field of research / property of quantum mechanics. I don't remember which. + > Belief/Mana/Soul drive: Fictional drive powered by thought, spirituality, or belief in its ability. Pure nonsense in reality, fun for writing perhaps. + > Ion engine: I mean, these are real, but imagine a stupidly efficient overpowered one that isn't actually possible. :P + +Abraham–Minkowski controversy + LINK : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham%E2%80%93Minkowski_controversy + TYPE : article + DONE : false + TAGS : readme, science + NOTE : Make up a theoretical drive based on this. :P + +Theories about VSL + LINK : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_speed_of_light#Modern_VSL_theories_as_an_alternative_to_cosmic_inflation + TYPE : article + DONE : false + TAGS : readme, science + NOTE : Most likely not at all real, but fun to think about. + +Bibites (Artificial Life) + LINK : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6RLGJceLJg + TYPE : video + DONE : true + TAGS : simulation, programming, artificial life + NOTE : Neat stuff here, check out his channel too. `
