Ok people, lets get to the bottom of it.
I wanna hear ideas for warping space! I have the idea of propelling a vehicle by "screwing" it thought space, like a nut and bolt.
But how can we make a reaction force between it and space..?
If you need ideas, Star Trek would be a good starting point. 
As for some other possibilities, I don't know, something with tachyons or mini black holes? Psshhhh....

I did see a chap on TV, he used high powered lasers to warp space.

How so?
How so?
He had loads of them arranged so as it made like a tight spiral. They crossed very closely, and he could send particles back in time. Or was it forward? Anyway, he was presumable warping space.
perhaps it was the same beam reflected down it
Professor Andy,
You must know about the piezoelectric and pyroelectric effects of crystal? In Star Trek, they called it Dilythium.
If you polarize the crystal with either heat or an electromagnetic field or both then this will produce kinetic energy or propulsion on the other corner of the crystal.
According to the wave compontent of the equation f=wavelength/speed of light then to travel at the speed of light one must product an electromagnetic field of around 60Thz range.
Recent experiments in Quantum Entanglement and Cold Nuclear Fusion are leading upto the possibility of travel in space.
We are soooo ready for this!

Hi professor andy,
If you want to warp space you first need a theory about what space really is. Standard gravitational space warps will cost "heaps" of energy .... there are no power sources capable of warping spacetime on a large scale available... probably never.
To travel "great distances"you want a shortcut that naturally exists. That is why you need the theory first.
If you just want to "crawl" around space you might use a number of possible technologies already existing on a benchtop. To "really" travel.... quantum physics already has ways to tunnel through "space" to any place. All you need is to be able to specify the place. Bingo... you need a new theory of quantum physics because the present one will not allow that "choice".
You then have the choice...
1. Bang your head on a wall while yelling "Why... why... why!"... forever
or
2. Come up with the goods.
Cheers

tea time so I will make it fast.
Hi professor andy,
Just another view, like many has said on this site, some to be funny and others just as a note of concern, but I believe all with respect.
You could approach the problem with the tools at hand.
I have never given it consideration because of our current technology, and if the technology is available, the majority just does not know it. [Some hanger in the desert]. Eh!
What do you see with your intellect that is out in the four percent of the universe we know about in space that could be used to give you the energy needed? Not a ludicrous question, just a thought.
If you know of some research that has been done I can think of some ideas on the table but I have no right to say, but is it possible to tap into an idea and use it. pa, interesting question and I would like to see what you might come up with. It seems important to you and that is good enough.
I know there is much to learn, and I believe every question needs some answer like in, it is impossible, is there another way to solve this problem, or I will find a yes or no, and not stop until.
I like to tackle questions with that kind of mindset.
Best of luck!

f=wavelength/speed
this should read f = velocity / wavelength
And I wasn't talking about going at "warp speed". The way i seen that this guys experiment was happening was..
light can be treated as a wave that disturbs the ether. And when these waves are added in a certain way, they make the ether into a funnel. Like water down the plug hole, but in 3D. And small particles like protons can be sucked down it.

(our eyes interprit a certain disturbance in the ether as light.)
But alas, I'm not sure if "ether" is an old theory that has been abandoned. I herd someone say it didn't work, but thats all the fun of wave/particle duality..
Professor Andy i also saw this thing on TV as well.
It was very interesting.
What it was is laser grids, 4 of them at right angles, and as you increase the grids, they were turned at an angle (probably calculated or something) and the length of the square grid got shorter.
And he believed that if you were to make the lasers intense enough, it would be able to bend space in a way as to bend it in to a funnel like shape.
I think it was meant to make things go back in time, so in theory, if you were to make a schedule that wouldnt change no matter what, you set it up to send an object back to a certain time (probably require ALOT of trial and error) then when it was meant to be sent back, wait, if it didnt, try again until you do, then you have some way of gauging the time line etc...
Another important part of this theory was that this machine had to exist in order to send things back to the past, so you couldnt go back to see the dinosaurs or back to see the the Wall of China being built, it would only send back to the time the machine was built..which was the limiting factor.
I personally like your idea of the 'screwing' through time, i think this was an idea on a film awhile back as well.
But the only bad thing about this would be the extremely high G-forces, they would probably crush you into the walls of the ship, some way is needed to 'lock' the inside of the ship out of space-time, like a cage, a seperate bubble in space.
I had a theory once about maybe one day if they can develop some readily available artificial gravity field, to arrange it in a cube, with the gravity facing out, which in theory if its strong enough, could lock out gravity coming from everywhere around you.
But theres still the problem if the ship were to all of a sudden hit light speed, you will go splat into the back wall..so theres still many things that need to be ironed out.
wow i love the bathroom, it really lets me think!
I was just at the bathroom there, and well i thought some more, and it hit me!
I mentioned the laser thing first, then i mentioned the screw-like space ship...
See what im seeing...
Have some form of this laser device on the space ship to create this 'funnel' through space, the energy requirements would be staggering, but it would still work in theory...
Whatever happens, im sure we will figure something out within the next 3 centuries or so.
(I think i might go register here, this place seems really cool and i feel i could really talk about some of my ideas and theories about stuff)

Hey, waz up andy! Yeah, uh, let me introduce myself. I'm an inventor/writer/engineer/musician/etc. so i've been around the whole warping space idea block before. i have been thinking, working, and researching my but off for the past couple weeks and now(dramatic pause) i have finally discovered the fruit of my labor. I now have a proven and tested theory that i think you guys will enjoy.
All right, let's start from the very beginning and i will try to make this as small, short, and simple as possible. i shall get very basic and explain most stuff along the way( code name detour). First VERY important thing is this , i have created a formula that basically has a plate (not telling you guys what it is made of!)that absorbs all it's energy from the normal kind that surrounds us, turns it into electricity, and then uses another formula to turn all that electricity into a gravity field. Here's the cool thing, i have made modifications to it until i was able to only do that process once and the gravity plates work forever and be able to be turned on and off therefore being able to stop them and to control direction
(all shall be explained in good time, hold your questions till the end). Why is this so important?(detour)Einstein's formula states very clearly that if your speed approaches infinity, so does your mass because of relativity. so, you would need an infinite amount of propulsion to reach the speed of light, therefore you have to generate more propulsion than your mass, which is approaching infinity. You have to have to have something that has more out put than input. Ladies and gentlemen, they have two words for that, perpetual motion. Supposedly impossible? i think not...(Detour back)
Well, because of the design of the machine. i shall now describe it(it might even help to draw it to it to be able to visualize it better). Imagine a normal cylinder sitting on it's end. now, take from both sides a cone just large enough to reach to the middle and create a little hole with the two cones. now, smooth out the sharp edges and make the sides of the cylinder kind of bulge so as to make it a rounder shape. now, let's go back to the the gravity plates for a sec. they attract all matter in the vincity to he gravity plates. Now to keep them from crushing themselves because of their own weight, they move along the outer side of the machine at extremely high speeds.(detour) this is a very important detour. what happens to the matter around the plates that is being flung around? Well, it is a concentrated flinging. Explanation:1 It takes all the matter around and it brings it to it 2 puts it through funnel in machine by pressurizing matter extremely much
3 shoots the extremely hot pressurized material out the other side moving the machine forward and keeping the plates going on all the faster. eventually(quite soon) it is going faster than the speed of light and i don't feel it at all! 
Because, I'm technically not moving at all, every thing else is moving around me! So, i could go WWWWWAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY faster than the speed of light and it not affect me negatively in any way. And they said you couldn't go to the next galaxy and back and live through it. 
Now did you enjoy the lesson? any questions? just post your questions on here.

Why can unregistered cranks post here? If we're going to be subjected to this kind of rubbish, at least the poster should be made to register.
Dude i totally have to agree with you on that one. i mean, if you are coming on here just to give everybody a hard time being a stink bomb, might as well not be here. Every body will be a lot better off. Then again, if you have something useful to report, do it but without unfortunate incidences if you know what i mean. Please and thank you. 
Now back to the real stuff. Anybody else got really cool ideas?

Even that doesn't seem like much of a reason though.
Maybe you just don't have hopes and dreams or no, could it be possible?

No, of course not! You vehemently oppose it. And why not?
Well if you do, act like it for once, and don't pick on the underdog just to make yourself feel better.
Hey, prof Andy, there is also the ride a wave of space idea, and of course, the "Wrinkle in Time" idea which as a matter of fact, is very popular and well know. The SciFi "Dune" uses this idea to power the Holtzman(I don't know if I spelled that right)engines which basically do the same thing.

Inventions are science. Without us you wouldn't exist.
"In the field of observation, chance favours only the prepared mind." Louis Pasteur
"I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way." (Franklin P. Adams, 1881-1960)
"Serendipity. Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you've found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for." Lawrence Block
"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!', but 'That's funny…'" Isaac Asimov
"In reality, serendipity accounts for one percent of the blessings we receive in life, work and love. The other 99 percent is due to our efforts." Peter McWilliams
"Serendipity is looking in a haystack for a needle and discovering a farmer's daughter." Julius Comroe Jr. (1976)
"Serendipity is putting a quarter in the gumball machine and having three pieces come rattling out instead of one—all red." Peter H. Reynolds
"--- you don't reach Serendib by plotting a course for it. You have to set out in good faith for elsewhere and lose your bearings… serendipitously." John Barth, The Last Voyage of Somebody the Sailor
"Serendipity is the art of making an unsought finding." Pek van Andel (1994)
"Serendipity is the faculty of finding things we did not know we were looking for." Glauco Ortolano (2008)
"Serendipity is when you find things you weren't looking for because finding what you are looking for is so damned difficult." Erin McKean 2007
"Serendipity in a way, is science." Ano

"Serendipity. Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you've found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for." Lawrence Block
"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!', but 'That's funny…'" Isaac Asimov
"In reality, serendipity accounts for one percent of the blessings we receive in life, work and love. The other 99 percent is due to our efforts." Peter McWilliams
"Serendipity is looking in a haystack for a needle and discovering a farmer's daughter." Julius Comroe Jr. (1976)
"Serendipity is putting a quarter in the gumball machine and having three pieces come rattling out instead of one—all red." Peter H. Reynolds
"--- you don't reach Serendib by plotting a course for it. You have to set out in good faith for elsewhere and lose your bearings… serendipitously." John Barth, The Last Voyage of Somebody the Sailor

"Serendipity is the faculty of finding things we did not know we were looking for." Glauco Ortolano (2008)

That would have required you to outclass him, which you haven't even appeared to have done.

I agree that innovation, creativity and hard work are the foundation for new ideas, but you are missing one aspect: hard work. Education is a prerequisite for work in physics, and the greatest force behind any inventor is money. Except in the rare case that you invent something by accident, inventors have to go through dozens, if not hundreds of variations to create a working prototype, and this usually requires a good deal of money.
This forum is a place to ask questions, not to postulate theories. If you have a legitimate scientific question, I will do my best to answer it. If you come here with a baseless idea that betrays your own lack of understanding, I will tell you that you are wrong. If you persist, you will be insulted.

That's just a bad down side. Sometimes if you live free, you gotta die hard. If you never tried, you would never succeed. Here is something I want you to hear. It's a daily dose of David's quotes. Here it is and there is much truth behind it,
I take being 13 as a compliment. And about outclassing you all, I meant when you guys were my age.(Or who knows, maybe even now?)(JOKING )
About hard work, I considered it part of the package, not an extra unnececcity.
I will say once more, it is not just a theory, I have proven every aspect of it true ten times over. Would you just look at my ideas? Would it kill you to see the truth and act on it, or if you don't see it TELL ME HOW I'M WRONG?
I've neither intelligence or drive? I am intelligent enough to be arguing with you when you can STILL can't find any thing wrong with my invention, you just play around with words and try to make it sound good. I have enough drive to still put my ideas down in hope that someone who understands comes along. And guess what? There have been 8 murder attempt on me just because they want my idea. We will see who will be laughing when I'm on ABC NEWS because I've created perpetual motion and an efficient way to star travel. WE WILL SEE.
Hey, I've never done anything for the money before in my life and I'm not about to start now. I do what I do because I have a passion that drives me, an all-consuming fire that makes me wake every day, and gives me strength to go on(this is other than God), makes me want to live my life to the fullest, something I have never seen somebody have before. I do it for the love of inventing, not for the money. Because if you do it for the money, you wouldn't be happy doing it.
And if you aren't happy doing it, there is no reason to, every thing seems dead, and nothing will go well for you, you will start to be extremely negative, and you will lose all you have forever. I've seen it happen over and over again. A sad part of life.

I realize that this forum is not a place to state wild and random ideas, but there is nothing that I put in this forum so far that I cannot back up with solid truth. Here is where I come in. People need people. A person with a great idea and a solid basis should be encouraged to come here, because this is a place where he/she should be able to learn more than at the school building, work with people of equal and greater intelligence than him/her, make him/herself get smarter in this method, be able to test his/her theory with helpful, encouraging, build-you-up criticism. Or are people trying to make this site only for educated idiots who argue about nothing and everything? Yet I still believe that if you are coming here just goof off, or you have a random idea with out any basis, you shouldn't come here to waste our time. I personally take time out of my day specially to come here. Because everybody needs someone who can understand them, help them, and build them up.

I think this site does have more potential than is currently being demonstrated. It could be a powerful tool for education. Unfortunately, most of our time is taken up by those who come here and make up their own laws of physics and expect everyone else to admit that they are right.
I do come here to goof off a little, but I also try to use my knowledge to help others. Sometimes that help comes in the form of telling someone the inconvenient truth that they are an idiot. (not you)

I "invented" a perpetual motion machine at about that time. It was a cork ring that sat in a box which was divided in half vertically by a wall. One half was filled with water, the other with air. The cork ring would rotate in place, rising in the water half and sinking in the air half. Sounded like a great idea at the time, but the problem is that water pressure balances out the force of buoyancy.
You are wrong because there is no possible way to convert electricity to gravity. Gravity can only be increased by adding mass. The only way to create mass is with a particle accelerator. The energy needed to create one atom is astronomical. Remember, E=MC^2. Any creation of mass requires tons of energy. Gravity is not like magnetism, you can't turn it on and off.
I think that you have a legitimate interest in science. Keep it up. Wikipedia is a great place to study scientific concepts. Unfortunately, the American school system has an extremely boring science curriculum, so you should probably study stuff on the side. Good luck!
Stay in school.

You are wrong because there is no possible way to convert electricity to gravity. Gravity can only be increased by adding mass. The only way to create mass is with a particle accelerator. The energy needed to create one atom is astronomical. Remember, E=MC^2. Any creation of mass requires tons of energy. Gravity is not like magnetism, you can't turn it on and off.
I think that you have a legitimate interest in science. Keep it up. Wikipedia is a great place to study scientific concepts. Unfortunately, the American school system has an extremely boring science curriculum, so you should probably study stuff on the side. Good luck!

Stay in school.
Flyingbuttressman, i wasn't talking about you either. And about the not being able to turn electricity into gravity, see what happens when you put extreme voltage density on a piece of metal. It curves, giving it false mass. I have found a way around this. The samples were measured while resting on an insulated plate on a Mettler A100 digital scale. This scale had a repeatable accuracy of 0.0001 grams. In order to eliminate the twisting torsion effect of the disk when it was stressed two small #26 copper wire was soldered to the electrodes on the disks. The other end of these wires were placed in two small Styrofoam cups filled with mercury. There was an additional wire in each cup that connected to the high voltage supply. This way as the disk twisted it didn’t pull on either of the wires and induce a false mass change.
Ok. Now that you have gotten past the twisting effect,(you can make the plate wider to decrease it and allow more voltage density) apply an extreme amount of voltage(over 35 V/mil mil being 1/1000 of an inch) and record how heavy it is then. The Biefield-Brown Effect, as found by Thomas Townsend Brown in the late 1920's, produced a slight weight change in a specially constructed capacitor when it was subjected to an extremely high DC voltage. Others have verified the effect and several patents have been granted over the years.
I have a table of this.

I am now using different, more resistent metals and am putting such high voltage (nearing a hundred thousand) on it that it has a black hole effect.

I'm sorry, but your theory is not fact-based. The experiment that you mentioned did not produce a solid conclusion. The effect witnessed was most likely a product of ion wind. Ion wind occurs when an ionized fluid is exposed to an intense magnetic field. There is no such thing as anti-gravity. Gravity can not be affected by an electrical current.
WHEN and WHERE did I ever mention anti-gravity? And NOT affected, created!
Uh, hello? Ionic wind? Making it heavier? I don't think we are on the same subject.
The solid conclusion is this, i have proven that that you can create a gravity field using electricity. Making it heavier and heavier until it warps the space time continuum making it be essentially, a gravity field. Now, about the perpetual motion part of it, if you attach a steel/titanium 1mm thin flap onto it, it, going at unimaginably high speeds, it would create a wind powerful enough to power a car, more than enough for the milivolt or two that it will lose every now and then and plenty enough for the electricity needs that the passengers will have. Works well doesn't it?
Is a page full of mathematical equations and formulas enough proof for you? I dare not show them here though for privacy and security reasons which I'm sure you'll understand.
OK. On with my last post. On the first testing, I applied 35 V/mil to the thin plate of metal. And it changed weight by a small amount. Now, let's think on the terms of a hundred thousand V/mil. Imagine, and understand. I can also make it even more powerful, by using the same concept wider plates and, like I said in my first post ever as DD3, connect them with this special nickel electrode glue and the effect is multiplied by much.
Buddy, uh, trust me, i made sure there was no fluid within the next 50 meters of it. Otherwise bad things would have happened.

You mentioned the Biefeld–Brown effect. I looked it up. The interpretation that you are referring to is obvious nonsense about anti-gravity. It's a magnetic effect, not a gravitational one. The force that explains the effect is ionic wind, not a gravitational change.
I have not seen one example where you have "proven" that the creation of a gravity field with electricity is possible. In fact, that is completely impossible.

Somehow I doubt that you could use junior high school level math to explain a complex problem such as this.
Somehow I doubt that you actually carried out any form of experiment with high voltage electricity. Even if you did, the effect you would have witnessed is magnetic, not gravitational.

Air is considered to be a fluid. Fluid means "not solid."
Here is a little physics competency test:
If I push a box with 3 Newtons of force over a distance of 3 meters, how much work has been accomplished?
How solid must a solid be in order to be a solid ?
Perhaps not awfully relevant in this context - but always good to consider the dynamic of reality - the lastingness of existence - relatively speaking.
Can white be black?
Can long be short?
Can 2 + 2 = 42?
Just curious.
Nothing seems impossible to those who don't know.
This has got to be a liberal arts major, assuming there is ANY secondary education here.
It is but it sometimes also depends on your view.

Rather than point out the myriad of mistakes that our pubescent friend made on his strange list, I thought I'd disagree with you FBM ... (seemed to me reading through his list that he'd misidentified a lot of "inventors". Guess he's never heard of Alexander Graham Bell or Marconi.)
But anyway .... Air is a mixture of "gases" as far as I remember.

what if u had a reflector thing infront that kinda reflects light lke a crystal does inside but reverses the lasers force into a direction u want to go could u slowly gain speed with alaser in space?

I turned the effect and the formula around a couple of times to get what i have now.
I also understand that it is usually associated to UFOs and a public gravitation propulsion system not too long ago researched in the US.
Nothing is impossible. Nothing. Ever. No matter what. Nothing is impossible, and the sooner you believe it, the better off you will be in the world of science.
That's why it attracted the wooden table as well, huh?
I was using calculus, trig, geometry, algebra, etc.
Enough to get it that far.

Ok people, lets get to the bottom of it.
I wanna hear ideas for warping space! I have the idea of propelling a vehicle by "screwing" it thought space, like a nut and bolt.
But how can we make a reaction force between it and space..?
Here is a question. If star light is millions of light years old if we are able to create a worm hole to jump to them, do we therefore travel back in time when we arrive there if arrival is within hours of first starting the journey. I recall Scientists on earth had created a space machine due to be tested around 2008 to enable travel to Mars in hours only. The website is now closed and nothing heard about this machine sicne.
