Creating a real stable Wormhole

[digi_rage1]

Hi,

Something which may interest you.

Astrophysicists and Quantum Physicists have been trying for years to think of a way to create a stable wormhole. For years the only way thought to create a wormhole is creating a huge ring, made of a super-heavy element such as those from neutron stars. The ring would have to be as large as the orbit of Mars, and be spun at the speed of light. Of course this idea, however impossible to achieve, was thought to be the only solution.

Recently a group of scientists have devised a new, simpler plan to create an artificial black hole, which in time could lead to the creation of a stable wormhole. This new method involves spinning a vortex of water at the speed of light. Seems impossible, well its not. American Scientists managed to lower the speed of light considerably by creating a huge electromagnetic pressure field. The scientists working on the artificial black hole now believe the technology and knowledge exists to lower the speed of light to nearly 0.

Even though this method is only theory at the moment, and the years to come, we could see artificial black holes, and then eventually the creation of a stable wormhole.

SO really in essence they would be creating a stargate....

...only if the artificial wormhole goes between "useful" places, and is totally stable, reliable and repeatable. And can allow two-way travel (or be started from both ends). And is large enough to allow people or vessels - though basketball-sized probes would be a good start. And preferably is easy and cheap to run/use.

 

[Jedispara]

well i can see one useful side, if you could deside how far it goes, this would allow a very easy way to go to mars...

 

[PTeppic]

Safe to say that SOME sort of probe/beacon would be useful for a real Earth SGC - if nothing else but to see where the far end of the wormhole is!!

It would be more useful, of course, if they could direct the far end, reliably and predictably.

This new method involves spinning a vortex of water at the speed of light.

Just a thought : why don't use mercury ?

Anyway, does that mean that where the light would be totally stopped, there would in fact be an artificial blackhole ?

 

[PTeppic]

No reason why it would - except that under urrent thinking the water would become infinitely heavy... but maybe that is the whole point of how it works?

 

[Jedispara]

well ya of course, as anything approaches the speed of light it becomes heavier and heavier... but what would the point of that be??

 

[PTeppic]

To create the event horizon: since the ones we currently know about are at black holes, by getting a spinning disc with a rapidly increasing mass, this will presumably get the effect near that of a black-hole, which may create the artificial event horizon.

Oh jibber!! We were trying for a wormhole anyway! :eek7:

I'm not sure what's scarier...the fact that this is more technical than anything I've ever even herd out of the mouth of a highschool science teacher, or the fact that I understand it :dead:

 

[Jedispara]

if you think about it the things that could result from such atrial could be far worse than those 2 points.. we could infact create a blackhole in our own backyard and have nothing to fight it with...
