Exploring the limits of spacetime

"There have been many people (some of them quite well known), that have `proved' by `calculation' that interstellar flight is `impossible.' Actually, in each case, all they `proved' was that with the initial `obvious' assumptions that they forced on the problem, that the problem was made so difficult that they were unwilling to consider it further. "

-Dr. Robert L. Forward, 1986

note:  The pages associated with this address require a general understanding of the general theory of relativity and a mild understanding of quantum mechanics.  If these terms are vague or alien to you then you may wish to begin you exploration of the warp drive by visiting the main site provided through the link below.

* In the future the plan author of this site plans to begin some writings on Dark Matter/Dark Energy as that is where the frontier of gravitational physics appears to be today...
