We're all just God's Debris |

Interesting read but I found some conclusions that aren't universally embraced. One: space is finite. If the universe was a sphere that would be true but it's been "proven" the universe is flat. Two: probability of our existence given enough time. Perhaps, but the universe isn't really that old given the time needed for life to have evolved. It is my understanding that's where multiverses come into play - spreading out the probability over infinity. I do like the idea that God blew himself up and is in the process of reassembling. |

I have to give up. Forgive my apparently poor explanatory skills. I just have too much on my plate right now.
That's an analogy. I'm not really concerned about an abundance of food on my dinner plate. |

Does this warp engine use Amsoil? |

I doubt it, you know how synthetics are not compatible with negative energy. 
re: God's Debris.
“God split himself into a myriad parts that he might have friends.” This may not be true, but it sounds good--and is no sillier than any other theology.
One man’s theology is another man’s belly laugh.
Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream up a God superior to themselves. Most Gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child.

Don't take any of the above too seriously. It all rings true to me, but like Science, it's incomplete.
Arguing about not experiencing acceleration in an imaginary machine that uses handwavium, is silly.
The label on the machine says "passengers will not experience acceleration". You take that as a given, until they build one. If you DID have a warp drive that could get you to Wolf359 in a month, and you WERE subject to "normal space" accelerations, the whole thing would be a smear, with the nearly two dimensional paste that used to be the passengers hard to tell from the squished ship. |
