  1. Hey, my bike has Gaetano derailleurs. Mr. Marano is a real renaissance man. Must be some kind of black hole technology

  2. Not quite warp drive, but where was it said that a drive capable of achieving any appreciable fraction of c would just happen to also be a directed energy or particle beam weapon that could fry the Earth?

  3. I recall reading that calculations regarding the energy required to warp space sufficiently for interstellar travel would at the very least be equivalent to converting the mass of Jupiter (or some low multiple) into energy. Probably not something you want to have done within the vicinity of the solar system.

    “The physicist wasn’t named “Gaetano Marano”, by any chance…?”

    No, if it was Gaetano the article would have simply explained how he figured out that warp drive wouldn’t work long before Star Trek came out and then link to a MS Paint drawing of the Earth being sucked into a black hole, “You see, thisa proves it”.

  5. Well, if it “easily” creates a black hole, let’s build one just for the energy production capability of the black hole…

    ;P
