Erik Lentz (How to build an actual warp drive)

00:00:14 The short history of Erik's discovery (and theory) of faster than light speed travel.

00:06:20 How Faster Than Light Speed travel would actually work?

00:16:20 How much energy would be required for a warp drive propulsion? Is there enough energy in the universe to make faster than light speed travel feasible?

00:25:29 Why the 'twin paradox' will be solved with a warp drive?

00:32:47 Did Stargate get the 'warp' drive idea right after all?

00:39:13 Are Black Holes a form of cosmic pollution left over by 'misconnecting warp drives'?

00:44:50 Is time the same for everyone in the universe?

00:50:10 What compels us to be pioneers?

00:53:05 Do we live in a simulation?

01:03:43 What are other 'faster than light' phenomena in the universe?

01:14:34 How does 'dark energy/ dark matter' work? What do we know about it?

01:25:10 Are there more dimensions than the four we can easily interact with? Does time exist without a conscious observer?
