Star Trek is coming sooner than we thought brehs

“Warp field theory” was recently proven viable. I’m sure if there was a planetary emergency and we applied every single mind and resource to the cause the shyt would be solved inside a couple months but it isn’t a pressing issue right now.

We are def at the technology cliff though but we won’t get to see deep deep space travel in our lifetimes because of the pace of government unfortunately

All that tech exists. They just prevent people from finding out about it because they kill every scientist who does

Not a holodeck, but cool nonetheless.

I wish food reperlators were a real thing, I'd save so much money on food delivery fees

Remember those crystals in SG-1? Scientists reminds us they are real now (have been for a few years actually).

NASA's new $20M spaceship is hurtling through space uncontrollably
A new NASA spaceship is tumbling through space uncontrollably as engineers on the ground work to fix an issue that caused the $20 million craft to lose control. The agency's Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3), a craft with four reflective 'sails' designed to test a new type of propulsion system, hit a snag when it unfurled the sails. Engineers noticed a slight bend in one of the 'booms,' or structural beams, that support the sails, impacting its ability to stay on course.

• Scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a quantum engine powered by entanglement—the quantum property allows for the transfer of information across vast distances.
• The researchers created this engine by placing two calcium atoms in an ion trap, zapping it with a laser, and using the differences in entanglement (rather than heat) to create energy.
• This concept doesn’t improve on the conversion efficiency of previous quantum engines, but it does prove that increased entanglement positively impacts mechanical efficiency.

The word “quantum” is proliferating into nearly every facet of modern technology. There’s quantum computers, of course, but also quantum hard drives, quantum internet, and yes, even quantum engines. However—as is true with all of these other “quantum” technologies—this isn’t your typical piston/combustion situation. Instead, these engines leverage the wonky properties of quantum mechanics to induce mechanical motion.

Although an incredibly nascent technology, quantum engines come in a couple different flavors. Last year, scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology developed a quantum engine that leveraged the complicated interplay between fermions and Bose-Einstein condensates. This created energy by replacing heat (the typical energy source of an ICE engine) with the “quantum nature of the particles in the gas,” a press statement read at the time. This engine had an efficiency of 25 percent—not bad for a first go at it, but nowhere close to becoming a practical engine.

We're alot closer to "Computer" than I thought.

"With this new AI approach, the speed at which we can have a solution is unbelievable. The time to calculate the prediction of a heart digital twin is going to decrease from many hours to 30 seconds, and it will be done on a desktop computer rather than on a supercomputer, allowing us to make it part of the daily clinical workflow."

Partial differential equations are generally solved by breaking complex shapes like airplane wings or body organs into grids or meshes made of small elements. The problem is then solved on each simple piece and recombined. But if these shapes change—like in crashes or deformations—the grids must be updated and the solutions recalculated, which can be computationally slow and expensive.

DIMON solves that problem by using AI to understand how physical systems behave across different shapes, without needing to recalculate everything from scratch for each new shape. Instead of dividing shapes into grids and solving equations over and over, the AI predicts how factors such as heat, stress, or motion will behave based on patterns it has learned, making it much faster and more efficient in tasks like optimizing designs or modeling shape-specific scenarios.

One step closer to matter-antimatter engines.

Scientists are exploring the possibilities of antimatter propulsion as they try to achieve interstellar travel.

While conventional rockets provide high thrust, they struggle with low efficiency. Conversely, electric propulsion and solar sails offer high efficiency but generate minimal thrust.

It is in this regard that scientists are looking toward a theoretical solution that harnesses the immense energy of antimatter.

“Antimatter propulsion is a groundbreaking technology with potential to transform space exploration, enabling travel to distant locations once deemed impossible,” asserted a new study by researchers from the United Arab Emirates University.

“Spacecrafts can traverse the Solar System to reach nearby stars in a span of days to weeks (within a human lifetime) due to this enormous energy potential.”
