If one day, some random person who lives around the block from you built a "warp" drive vehicle, launched it himself, and did a test flight... and returned - then told, and showed to people what he had built.

How would that effect the world?

Think about it

I would need to know more details in the vehicles' performance, I mean, if it warped him across the street and back...I wouldn't care much for it...

As much as the PC changed the world "made it smaller".

Think that would happen to our solar system...and beyond.

suggestion: don't let on - to *CErtain* pEoplE - that onE HAS suCh a dEviCE - though IF thEy know HOW to traverse time - THEY 'obviously' would find said device - and thEn proCEEd as you describEd . . . to show / tEll othErs

onE has to bE rathEr carEful - whEn iT coMEs to said mattErs . . .

(likE 'how serious') i can be re: said matters? . . . ;>))

First, before tossing old Albert and his silly relativity ideas out the door, I’d want to see considerable proof.

Agreed...extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof :)

Return? Not me... I would send out a signal and let SETI discover me... ;)

Total panic, I believe, he would be considered an ET!!

It is no good to try to stop knowledge from going forward. Ignorance is never better than knowledge. --- Enrico Fermi ---

Traveling at 'warp' speed - I presume you mean traveling faster than the speed of light, considerably faster - is all very well but pretty useless unless you work out how to avoid crashing into heavenly bodies on the way. No computer known would enable you to do this. So you would need to invent a super super super computer as well as your warp drive. And then you can explain to me how the acceleration doesn't crush your body in an instance and what sort of heat resistant materials you have invented to stop your 'vehicle' from melting.

When you've found melange you just might have a hope.

lol.. already can "theoretically" explain that.

You would not be crushed inside, as you wouldn't be accelerating.

The warp drive warps space around you, whilst you remain in the same place. So you are stood still, whilst the space around you is moving "warping". So, nobody would be thrown about inside - as its not your vessel whats moving.

heat resistant... it seems we have that with Virgin Galactic... simply dont enter an atmosphere at high speeds like the space shuttle. Also, dont fly too close to a sun/star.

Try telling that to commander Dark Helmet of the flagship Spaceball One... ;)

Forget Warp, this is what ya want. ;)

I probably WOULD change the world but only be available to us if it were gasoline powered. Don't want oil prices to drop, ya know!

DONATE TO SETI

As long as oil prices are where they are nothing would change, and an infinity drive/Warp drive would only be used by the SG1 team!
