I remember an article from years ago saying it needed all the energy of a galaxy to run it, they got past that so I imagine they'll figure something out.

The article from my first post makes it seem like they're close enough to get it in our lifetime

Energy mass of the voyager probe.. did the calculation and its around the power of three current gen nuclear reactors to activate.

I typo'd it. Fixed

The bigger issue is that his equation relies on exotic matter to produce "negative energy". Currently we can replicate that with the Casimar effect, but at quantum levels

Figure out Deuterius...Anti-Deuterium, and lilithium crystals....and you are halfway there...

But...keeping the matter and anti0matter seperated becomes an issue...

On the tangent tip, the movie Event Horizon featured an exotic propulsion system, too. The ship employs a special transport mechanism that, in effect, creates a black hole that the ship can pass through, allowing it to travel tremendous distances in a few seconds.

It stars two of my favorite actresses, ol' girls Kathleen Quinlan (Peters) and Joely Richardson (Lt. Stark) who resembles VB Forum moderatix Sandy.

I completely agree. This is the penultimate 'Enterprise' for me. I remember seeing this as a kid and drawing/doodling this scene ALL. THE. TIME.

There could be fiery explosions, brief that they may be until the oxygen is gone. Quite of bit of air inside the ol' Enterprise I'd wager. And if only Star Trek was the only one to add noises to space explosions. It's pretty much universal.

For the sake of scientific accuracy, in the first season of Star Trek: The Original Series, explosions and other battle noises in space were depicted as soundless. Eventually, executive meddling brought about the change. Star Trek (and every other sci-fi show) has had noisy space ever since.

It wasn't a TV show, but I believe 2001 A Space Odyssey had silent explosions.

Yeah, it was about as scientifically accurate as any sci-fi movie made. Perhaps the worst offender of battle physics is Star Wars.

BSG:TOS deserves an honorble mention, too.
