| If black holes are produced they will be microscopic. There's simply not enough matter to have a massive one. Also, it would not be the black hole itself that would make the Shaw-Fujikawa drive possible, it would be the energy from it. I personally believe the increased gravity of the blackhole would make it harder to slip in subspace. I really am not sure how a hyperspace drive could be created, and that itself depends on if there is a hyperspace. If you went into a singularity, gravity would tear you apart, so good luck with that. For the moment I think I will stick with Warp Drive, because if we work on it in the future, it may actually be feasible. A Shaw-Fujikawa Drive centuries away. And besides, I feel safer going into warp than actually out of the space-time continuum. _________________ I am sorry to report I have destabilized the relative speed of some photons, which caused an immediate singularity to form.

| Well technically, you do not get close to the singularity. You approach past the event horizon and get shot into slipspace or something like that. _________________  |

| Perhaps the gravity of the singularity warps space enough for you to fit under a curved "Flap" of the space-time continuum and that somehow allows you greatly reduce the distance a ship in normal space would have to travel. Perhaps you could use the hawking radiation and fire a particle beam at the most curved region of space and try to fly your ship into it. _________________ I am sorry to report I have destabilized the relative speed of some photons, which caused an immediate singularity to form.

| As far as I know of, the most curved region of space would be somewhere past the event horizon, therefore, if you tried to shoot through you would be pulled into the singularity. Which is less then ideal.. But yeah, space compression navigation, another possibilty. Unfortunatly this would probably use a line of blackholes and would require shooting the ship though the flaps of compressed space without being pulled into the singularity. _________________  |

| Hmmm. What should I choose to work in life? A ship drive that might lose containment and leak antimatter all over the ship (or at least leak until it touches the matter on the ship) or work on a ship drive where you have to perform a task that is near impossible while avoiding getting torn apart by a black hole. _________________ I am sorry to report I have destabilized the relative speed of some photons, which caused an immediate singularity to form.

| I think antimatter poses a great possibility, the only thing you would need to prevent the reaction you are refering to + and - = kaboom! would be to use a vacuum, magnetic chamber. But still, how would you harness the power of antimatter without killing everyone on the ship. 1kg of antimatter and 1kg of matter does give a pretty big boom. _________________  |

| That's why you eject the warp core! Full power to impulse engines! But yeah, 1 kg would be a pretty big explosion. 1 teaspoon can level a normal sized city, so 1 kg would probably level the entire east coast of the United States. Might do some math on that to check actually how big it would be. _________________ I am sorry to report I have destabilized the relative speed of some photons, which caused an immediate singularity to form.

Depends on the # of megatons (one million tons of tnt not sure what the European equivalent is, sorry Maarten.) of each bomb. But assuming that is with the standard size warhead, it is probably much more than 49.
| Quote: | | Is an anti-matter bomb possible? |
Absolutely. Scientists have been creating anti-matter in labs for a while. All they do is say take an electron and change the charge from neg. to pos. and you have antimatter. Build enough of this, keep matter contained in a magnetic field. Keep the antimatter contained in an magnetic field in the warhead, but keep the two fields away from each other. Have the warhead turn the power of the mag. fields when it is ready to explode. And presto, antimatter leaks out and hits matter, creating a massive explosion. Unlike Nukes, antimatter bombs would have a 100% efficiency rate and would be much more devastating.
Also, Hamada, questions like this are best asked on the Science topic forum. _________________ I am sorry to report I have destabilized the relative speed of some photons, which caused an immediate singularity to form.

| Well, your lungs may hurt a bit. And you may start coughing because your diaphragm may try to get normal breathing started again. It usually does this by sending a blast of air up and out your windpipe. _________________ I am sorry to report I have destabilized the relative speed of some photons, which caused an immediate singularity to form.
