Now they're throwing in cool CG rendering along with their calculations. Pretty cool.
And they're Trekkies too. 8)
Of course the technology to actually make it work doesn't exist yet. It's still mostly just a thought experiment that shows it's at least probably possible.

Saw this on Facebook yesterday.
The design loks a little refined to me. Too clean.

I'd expect it would - remember, it's a concept based on purely theoretical musings, not on any actual applicable science.

Fan art. Interesting stuff.
Its funny that everyone says how totallu beyond us this is, but forget we went from not flying to on the moon in less than 70 years.

We've also been twenty years from commercially viable fusion for half a century.

A project that is 20 years away will be 20 years away indefinitely

Yet close to 80% of what was shown on Beyond 2000 actually happened.

God, I haven't seen that show in
years.
Anyway, best of luck to them. Probably no results within my grandchildren's lifetime, but Excelsior!

Probably won't see this ship in our grandchildren's grandchildren.

I think your underestaimating the advance of technology. I dont expect it soon, but I doubt it will be that far away, assuming society doesnt collapse that is/
