with a warp drive i can go anywhere i want.

It takes too much energy, and normal rocket travel would be 1% the speed of light. 10% is too fast. For the Earth-like planet they just found 150 ly away, it would take 150,000 years, and when they get there, would they dare to defrost embryos and use people at the other end/technologically educate them? I haven't seen that one yet in the movies. It would probably be some mutiny story with an Earth-like planet for action, kek.

15,000 years

> if we just accelerate
sure, the problem is you then also have to decelerate before you arrive at your destination.

>1 second at c
>rest of the trip is deceleration
so a gun? sweet

If you want enough time dilation to navigate the galaxy the speed required would incinerate the spaceship crushing with interstellar matter.
At higher speed even cosmic radiation alone would be enough for that.
An of course there is also the problem of where to find all the energy required.

What we need is a sympathetic universe.

This
One tiny microscoping grain of dust floating in space would nuke the entire vessel when crashing into it at relativistic speeds.

You'd need some kind of shield like in the movies to deflect space dust. But when you have that kind of technology, you've also unlocked warp engines already.

Also, fuck ayys and ayy enablers.

Using what rockets? The speed of light (c) is roughly 300,000 km/s. To reach even 10% of the speed of light using chemical fuel, the amount of fuel you would need relative to the ship’s weight would be an exponent so large it exceeds the number of atoms in the observable universe.

Yes its absolutely impossible to reach even significant fractions of c without a ship being destroyed.
Ive considered even if someone could build an artficial microblackhole for mass-energy conversion and use plasma bubbles to surf the solar winds, the drag from the interstellar dust and gas prevents ever getting close to light speed.

Thus the only way to reach the nearest star system will be on generation ships taking thousands of years. That explains the fermi paradox and why intelligent life hasnt already colonized the galaxy, the distances involved between stars is beyond comprehension.

I don’t know about you getting there, but getting new humans further into space seems doable. You create an artificial womb and fertilise an egg at the time of arrival at the destination, then a robot takes care of it and educates it.

Dilate, time tranny.

Dilate this.

>>16901653
>that's the cosmic trade.
If you start a second ship@lightspeed in opposite direction and calculate the relative dilation to that ship you will half the time again. Deal?

>>16901735
probably plenty of sci fi books that take that into account. Haldeman's forever war is one, soldiers get yeeted off towards the current battle and when they get there it's been over for 400 years or whatever.

What determines speed though?
The earth is not stationary.
