Super Relativity - Theory
How to Build a Warp Drive using SR Theory ...
So, without any further introduction here we go. If you want to travel to the nearest star to our sun which is Proxima Centauri, it lies about 4.22 light-years away. Using conventional rocket powered motors it would take a very long time to get there. For instance, The Voyager spacecraft is on an interstellar mission. It is traveling away from the Sun at a rate of 17.3 km/s. If Voyager were to travel to Proxima Centauri, at this rate, it would take over 73,000 years to arrive. If we could travel at the speed of light, which is impossible because it would violate Special Relativity, it would still take 4.22 years to arrive! This is very impractical. As a matter of fact this is intolerable. If we ever, as a planetary culture expect to join our brothers and sisters in this Universe we will have to do much better than rocket powered vehicles or ion propulsion systems. These methods of propulsion will not get us much farther than our own solar system.
