I am starting to suspect that this may not actually be a time traveller!

Re: Helo! My name is P. Rabbit Yenkov. I come from the year
For example, here is a synopsis of time travel: https://bruceleeeowe.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/black-holes-and-d-branes.gif Why is it just the Nambu-Goto action of a closed string. If this relates to string theory, how is it possible since it is on a fixed causal background as far as I can tell. ...

Re: Designer spacetimes for FTL and profits
Because the actual workings don't matter to anyone who isn't a pedant. Same with conlangs, NERD Passing through a wormhole's event horizon puts you in the interior, which is just somewhere else in our own universe. Which suggests a Klein-bottle topology of the universe, and why the hell not? It rea...

Re: If not DNA, then what?
"They don't have DNA" is not at all the same thing as "They're based on magic"; DNA is a very specific molecule. Outside of RNA (kinda - RNA is not very stable), there are no known methods for such things. Hence whatever choice is made for this will be pulled from a buttocks, which is basically mag...

Re: Con-Programming Languages
If you want weird programming languages, you can look here :

Though be aware that most of them are either joke languages or variations on Brainfuck, but there are a lot of interesting programming paradigms represented here.

Re: Designer spacetimes for FTL and profits
Warp drives are so far off that "to make sure they aren't divulging restricted technological info." is pretty silly. The energy requirements aren't the problems (although they are a huge problem), it's the sign of the energy. As far as I know there's no plan or even any idea how to engineer one, exc...

Re: Designer spacetimes for FTL and profits
As a stupid question, has anyone tried mixing this up with Everett's many worlds? I'm sure the general answer is that you can't go to the other worlds, they don't work that way, don't even think it. But if you could, you could get the effect of FTL travel by moving to a world that happens to be shi...

Designer spacetimes for FTL and profits
I notice that usually, whenever there's some spacetime doohickey in a science fiction universe, the actual technical details tend to be rather vague. Wormholes are usually just spheres (or spiralling discs) floating in a vacuum, or at best are inside a fancy stargate. FTL travel is even less clear i...
