In that thread i successfully adressed your every objection with either cites or logic. that you ignored information counter to your view point does not in any way render the two topics factual foundations similar in quality
I'll give you an example: negative energy; your position; it (negative energy) was fantasy; my response was to show you cites that prove that you were wrong and that science takes the concept of negative energy seriously. articles on casimir plates, squeezed light, quantum theory. your response after seeing that evidence? "there is no serious scientist who blah blah blah!
you make a pronouncement, ignore any evidence that contradicts your position and then repeat your opinion. Then you have the gall to suggest my thread topic and this "inventor's" gibberish are equivelent?
Besides that patent a*shole is doing the equivelent of domain squatting. that patent is meant to obligate anyone who actually produces a warp drive to pay that sh*t head royalties. He is a damned intellectual parasite.
I ignored nothing. You offered evidence saying, well I can justify this outlandish theory with that outlandish theory, and I can justify both of them with outlandish theory number three, which would work as long as one assumes outlandish theory number four...
This isn't a debate where we can change each others minds, and your logic clearly is not my logic. I believe with complete conviction that psuedo science is taking us up increasingly idiotic culdesacs and sideroads and is ignoring the search for truth, and that people are finding it difficult now to seperate science fact from nice frilly unproven theories which belong only in science fiction books. It is becoming a religion with a GUT as the new Mecca, forever out of reach and beyond our ken. Even if we find a GUT, it will only pose more questions, the existential horror of it all will be with us until the end of humanity. And the idea of a human travelling faster than light is just beyond ludicrous...
You showed me a lot of stuff that in my opinion that was a lot of hokum, and I offered my subjective opinion of it... Squeezed Light and the preposterously named Negative Energy are interesting phenomenon to be sure, but hardly evidence of future spacecraft that travel at Relativistic speeds, and even the articles you sourced shied away from actually associating Cassimir plates with the light barrier...
You call the inventor's patent gibberish? I would say that he's a clever and audacious chancer who is taking liberties with a ludicrous field of law, and that if his design had included a set of casimir plates the size of Nebraska it would have been equally unrealistic...
