Matter and energy are, in fact, interchangeable, and the closer an object approaches the speed of light, the grater it's mass becomes until it becomes it reaches a theoretical infinity. This automatically precludes the possibility of effecent space travel. However, Zefram Cochrane reasonds that if a ship where to leave normal space, Einstien's theroy could simply be bypassed. End of problem. In 2061 Cochrane and his team created a prototype warp field device that, at the expense of massive energy, created layered fields of warped space that actually distorted the Space/Time continuum. Discribed as a "fluctuating superimpeller," it successfully propelled an unmanned test vehicle to light speed by allowing it to remain in two velocity states simultaneously, thus bypassing Einstien, yet also using the less-than-normal-space required fuel. This first "warp engine" was embraced by humanity, and true space travel began. Cochrane and his team traveled to Alpha Centari, where they continued to perfect thier warp theories, hoping to break the light speed barrier of CDP(Continuum Distortion Propulsion)- Powered flight and enter the realm of Subsace and beyond. THey eventually succeeded. By precisely nesting the layers of warp field evergy, each layer exerting a controlled amount of force on the layer beyond it, various degrees of force where created that would drive a ship at various "Warp Speeds." This force, called APFM (Asymmetrical Peristaltic Field Manipulation) was eventually created by specially designed "Warp Nacelles" that could be attached to space vehicles. Now it is possible for Starships to travel at various controllable faster-than-light speeds, depending on how many warp fields the nacells create around the ship. Controlled annihilation of matter and antimatter, regulated by dilithium crystals, provides the huge amount of energy necessary to create the warp fields. The isotope deuterium is often used as one of the matter-antimatter reactants in this proses stnine@hotmail.com Domain Lookup www.. com net org Get www.yourdomainofchoice.com for your site with services!
