gmartireon Constant Velocity Physical Warp Drive Solution

Hi all, Gianni from Applied Physics and YC W'14. If anyone has any questions regarding our newly announced constant velocity warp drive solution, please post them here. Also, you can verify this solution with Warp Factory: https://github.com/NerdsWithAttitudes/WarpFactory

gmartireon Constant velocity physical warp drive solution

We have introduced a new 'Constant-Velocity Subluminal Warp Drive' that operates within the limits of general relativity using ordinary matter, eliminating the need for exotic energy. Powered by the Warp Factory analysis tool, which can be found on GitHub at https://github.com/NerdsWithAttitudes/WarpFactory, this warp drive demonstrates that rapid space travel within light speed is physically viable and marks significant progress as humanity embarks on the Warp Age.

Warp Factory is a toolkit designed for the theoretical testing and advancement of realistic warp drive technologies, akin to a wind tunnel for starships.

gmartireon Physical Warp Drives

Hey all, I'm one of the authors of the paper Introducing Physical Warp Drives and a Y Combinator alum (YC W'14). This video does a great job explaining our paper and Erik's as there a few misunderstandings in this forum https://youtu.be/PA66ah9b0U4. We all know each other and all have the warp bug as we now have a path; it's just going to be difficult. If you would like to join our warp drive cohort, please email us a bit about yourself and your ideas for warp at create at appliedphysics dot org. Our cohort is composed of PhDs and engineers from several STEM disciplines, we meet weekly and have more papers in the works, perhaps you can join the fun! https://thedebrief.org/new-warp-drive-model-requires-no-exot...

gmartireon Show HN: Abacus – Killing The Expense Report

I think the best way to sum up Abacus is, "Expensify, but way easier to use." The UX is only what you need and nothing else. It's goof proof and just works, that I feel is the biggest value.
