TM 194 - Vanish
Sep. 5th, 2007 03:18 pm194 - "The true magic of this broken world lay in the ability of the things it contained to vanish, to become so thoroughly lost, that they might never have existed in the first place." - The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, by Michael Chabon
Faster Than Light. That's what the "FTL" in "FTL Drive" stands for. It means that the system we call the FTL Drive or the Jump Drive allows a ship to travel from one point in space to another in a time that would require it to be moving at a speed greater than the speed of light. Of course, as we all learned in high school, that's not possible, since accelerating to the speed of light requires an infinite amount of energy.
So how does a Jump Drive work?
( Well... )
