IXS Enterprise - first warp ship concept

 

Just a concept for now, the math doesn't quite work yet for the warp drive.

NASA is still working on that part. But impressive that this was done in association with NASA.

edit: and yes, they nearly destroyed a computer trying to model this. Something like 25,000 parts. They had to get a bigger better faster computer. And every part on this model has a real life (imaginary for now) function.

Meh....1600 hours to design something with an extremely low probability of being built....and if one is ever built it will no doubt be so far in the future that this design will be regarded as a child's crayon drawing. Looks neat tho.

With technology doubling at an ever faster increasing pace, I'm thinking that breakthroughs in almost anything is just right over the horizon. Computers and programs figure things out faster than people can deal with it. And that includes warp physics.

 

You just have to ask the computer the right questions. Which often isn't easy.
