No, not really, actually.

Don't get me wrong, I never said that I support it's theoretical possibilities (I don't, they're wrong), I only mean that that was the way ThymineC intended it.Dinosawer wrote:Well, ...Cha0zz wrote:For what it's worth, H-drive tech isn't in an alternate Universe but it is partially based on real physics and could be seen as a far future tech.

we had tons of discussion regarding this, and it was a yes with the caveeat "assume we can manipulate propablility distributions"Dinosawer wrote:Well, ...Cha0zz wrote:For what it's worth, H-drive tech isn't in an alternate Universe but it is partially based on real physics and could be seen as a far future tech.

In other words, no, because that breaks a slew of fundamental physical laws (conservation of energy, momentum and probability, to name a few)Cornflakes_91 wrote:we had tons of discussion regarding this, and it was a yes with the caveeat "assume we can manipulate propablility distributions"Dinosawer wrote:Well, ...Cha0zz wrote:For what it's worth, H-drive tech isn't in an alternate Universe but it is partially based on real physics and could be seen as a far future tech.

why should the H-Drive violate conservation of momentum?Dinosawer wrote: In other words, no, because that breaks a slew of fundamental physical laws (conservation of energy, momentum and probability, to name a few)
I was explaining this to thyminec, but then he disappeared.
wouldnt the theorem actually break down under this conditions?Dinosawer wrote:Because of Noether's theorem, conservation of energy and momentum stems from the fact that physical laws are invariant under spacial translation and inversion of time. The h-drive apparently operated by modifying laws of physics in a certain place which breaks that invariance.
cant argue with thatDinosawer wrote: Furthermore, "modifying the probability function" makes no quantummechanical sense whatsoever and is just a fancy way of saying "magic".
Dinosawer wrote:That's indeed the problem, if the theorem breaks conservation of those things no longer is the case. Which means you could create infinite energy in such a case if you were creative enough. (Which is a very big "nope" in physics)
And "the laws of physics are the same everywhere" is a physical law (by Einstein, to be exact).
It also does a temporal thing, since it doesn't work all the time.

I know, same for me, I also had plenty of discussions with ThymineC about the possibility of his idea.Dinosawer wrote:Sadly that's not how it works with me. I blame my education
Indeed! (It's the only place they have that I think)Cha0zz wrote:I know, same for me, I also had plenty of discussions with ThymineC about the possibility of his idea.Dinosawer wrote:Sadly that's not how it works with me. I blame my education
On another note, I see you're studying Physics and astronomy in Belgium, could it be that you're studying at UGent?
Yeah, that's what I thought, well in that case, it is possible that we already have seen each other without knowing it:) I'm studying Chemistry at UGent.Dinosawer wrote: Indeed! (It's the only place they have that I think)
