World

Pow! Right To The Stars!

Insty:

TO THE STARS: A new foundation aimed at promoting faster-than-light travel. Give generously, especially if you're really rich.
Cosmic Log:
"The strategy of the Foundation will be to cover the whole span of ambitions, but with cycles of short-term, affordable investigations that target the most important questions. This span includes the seemingly simple concept of solar sails to the seemingly impossible goal of faster-than-light travel, to hedge the bets."
I hereby announce the creation of the Pixy Misa Omega Prize: One trillion dollars (US 1970 dollars adjusted for inflation) will be payable on the successful demonstration* of a human-safe, reusable, functioning faster-than-light drive.

* Successful demonstration defined as Pixy Misa using said drive to travel backwards** in time and earn at least two trillion dollars from compound interest and market investments.
** And yes, it has to be backwards in time. I can communicate forwards in time just fine. See here and here.

1 Looking for a way to travel faster than light is like trying to find a stairwell that goes to the 7th floor of a 3 story building. A trillion bucks could come in handy, though. Hmmm...

2 Might check out the Heim drive. Heim's theory predicts the fundamental particle masses (which no other theory does)and offers a thereoticalframework for a possible hyperdrive. It was promising enough to make aserious publication, the American Aeronautics something-or-other.
