I suspect the formation of a real group like Cerberus would happen. Humanity would band together because well we are all human after all.  So yes in answer to your question we would .

 

I wonder if there is a long line out Miranda's door to tap her :D

 

 

that is why we need a cloning lab to that

What I've gathered from this thread is that humans will be getting a lot of Xeno STDs.....unless of course they follow Mordins advice of "Don't swallow."

being an xenophile is a popular way of being as being a fandom due to we love our waifu of all species(yes some of them are that weird)

I'll be the downer and say that even if this WAS exactly what we hope it is, it almost certainly won't lead to "warp drives" of any kind. Not directly, anyway.

 

The problem with the Alcubierre engine is that we still don't know of any way to prevent particles from becoming trapped in the forward and rear bubbles. To be blunt, we would still have no way of operating these engines without potentially projecting these fantastically energized particles behind (not so bad) or ahead of (SERIOUSLY bad) the craft using this engine.

 

...and that's even assuming we can prevent additional mass from impacting the bubbles in transit, which would have as-yet unknown consequences. Even if we can make a warp bubble, the Alcubierre engine is still a non-starter until we solve other, much more difficult problems.

Just found out about it, and super excited. It's real! When they tested to see what was causing propulsion, the lasers were going faster then light. The readout showed their theorized warp bubble to precision, and it completely matched the mathematical equation for it. Needs to be done in a vacuum, and it doesn't contradict Einstein because space/time is being contracted and expanded.

I still worry about humans tinkering with things and unraveling the universe in some bizarre fashion.  "Oh wait, the world is collapsing!  That big particle collider seemed like a good idea at the time...'

 

If we ever create a black hole by mistake, even one that is microscopic, it will be the end.

Total bullsh*t

 

The people at CERN covered this.  They said microscopic black holes COULD form when the LHC collides particles but they are so small they dissipate.

Ultimately a lot of things we say about what will happen with stuff we haven't done before, prove to be completely wrong in practice. That's science, really.

 

On a positive note we have had the fun side of this before rather than the nasty one - there was some scientific concern at the time that nuclear weapons might ignite the Earth's atmosphere and set off a chain reaction that burnt it off into space. Isn't it jolly nice that they didn't.

I honestly think there is nothing to worry about regarding the LHC

It's not entirely implausible that they might have discovered a warp field. They don't really understand how the EMDrive works anyway, and it actually seems to violate the law of conservation of momentum.

NASA replicated the results in a vacuum. Original Post updated to reflect the staggering insanity of that fact and to relish in space hype.

http://www.nasaspace...istic-em-drive/

Naysayers, say nay no more. NASA has run the tests and confirmed there is a field being generated that is causing particles to travel faster than the speed of light and creating thrust from the engine generating it. This is the very definition of a warp drive engine, albeit far from a practical space-faring vehicle.

In addition, it also proves the concept of the EM drive itself, which can generate thrust without fuel. The mundane applications of that alone are enough to shake the bedrock of our economy, forgoing the absolutely mind-boggling implications of interstellar (or even intergalactic) travel.

I don't disagree that there are engineering problems to address, but they are mechanical, at best. Comparatively speaking, at least. Side-stepping the theory of relativity and the law of conservation are pretty big problems that we have now already tackled. Harnessing them appropriately are practical roadblocks that are in no way as difficult as essentially breaking the laws of physics in the first place.

Its proposed that they could apply these findings to a ship in the future and get a ship from Earth to Luna in four hours.
