Summary: 00:00:14 The short history of Erik's discovery (and theory) of faster than light speed travel. 00:06:20 How Faster Than Light Speed travel would actually work? 00:16:20 How much energy would be required for a warp drive propulsion? Is there enough energy in the universe to make faster than light speed travel feasible? 00:25:29 Why the 'twin paradox' will be solved with a warp drive? 00:32:47 Did Stargate get the 'warp' drive idea right after all? 00:39:13 Are Black Holes a form of cosmic pollution left over by 'misconnecting warp drives'? 00:44:50 Is time the same for everyone in the universe? 00:50:10 What compels us to be pioneers? 00:53:05 Do we live in a simulation? 01:03:43 What are other 'faster than light' phenomena in the universe? 01:14:34 How does 'dark energy/ dark matter' work? What do we know about it? 01:25:10 Are there more dimensions than the four we can easily interact with? Does time exist without a conscious observer? You may watch this episode on Youtube - #94 Erik Lentz (How to build an actual warp drive). Apologies for the sound quality during the first few minutes - it gets much better after the initial five minutes! Erik Lentz is a Ph.D. physicist and focuses on the theoretical, computational, and experimental aspects of searching for dark matter as well as faster than light travel. Big Thanks to our Sponsors!
