[QUOTE="bolen, post: 2269703, member: 1442"] A cool topic (let a physicist highjack it) A fun idea for you to play with is no matter what FTL drive you have you are violating relativity (ie getting information [I]or you[/I] to travel outside your light cone.) If you accept that you basically have a time machine. Obviously there are tons of plot threads here. Solutions for stable transversable wormholes do exist in Einstein's Theory of Gravity (General Relativity). But the throat needs be made of negative mater ([I]This is not anti-mater[/I]). Negative matter would repel and not attract ordinary matter. Here’s the problem: although as a theorist I can invent such a beastie, it don’t mean that it exists in our world. Now there are a few possibilities that you could use from quantum field theory but again that is highly theoretical. If you want my personal opinion wormholes do exist but only at the Plank level (about 10^-34 meters) as part of spacetime foam. But wormholes of this size aren’t a lot of use for spaceships (end highjack) [/QUOTE]
