Is it possible to rip apart reality with a spherical centrifuge kinda device, and then calibrate the four dimensions of which the device is located, and then repeat the steps in a different area and instead calibrating the 4 dimensions of the other device into it to create a teleportation device?

Hey whats this?

>Spearing the sky like monolithic elephant trunks, the "Pillars of Creation" are a vast region of star-forming material located in the Eagle Nebula, about 6,000 light-years from Earth
How can shit be so far away

Oh noes, not false color.

God bless everyone fucking with chemical rockets,but god they are rancid ass when it comes to speed. If we can bust past the limitations of chemical fuels and start getting our astronauts hauling some ass, we can crack open the solar system like an egg and start getting some work done.

I've looked at a lot of the concepts from NIAC research, SSI, Icarus Interstellar etc, and I've gravitated to 2 of them-Firefly and PROCSIMA.

Firefly is a fusion rocket based off of Uri Shumlak's sheared-flow stabilized z-pinch research at the Uni of Wash. This research has recently picked up a fuckload of public and private funding-Chevron has skin in it as well as ARPA-E giving something like 8 million in the last 2 years. It is a fusion concept that requires no super-conducting magnets and should be usable with a full liquid liner,which makes reactor wear and tear less of an issue and decreases waste.

A guy from Icarus Interstellar named Robert Freeland created a concept for a super ultrakill 10% c interstellar probe using the tech-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25jRvzTPL4A

There's no reason you couldn't scale this way down with a much lower speed goal and a willingness to trade off efficiency for higher thrust using a neutral gas energized by the neutron flux of the thruster. Frankly,as impressive as dreaming up insane megaprojects for fusion rocketry is cool,it seems infinitely more rational to start off by creating designs for the tech's initial use cases-the exploration and colonization of this solar system.
