Re: FTL help, please (that means you cavediver )

It's a catchy idea (light speed bubble), that has a nice visual element to it (stretching spaceships).

I think it's a winner even if you can't find a mathematical basis for it.

Re: FTL help, please (that means you cavediver )

It might be fun to imagine how such technology might transfer into colloquial speech.

For example,

"Let's stretch over to Planet Gaag!

"Engage the bubble-drive, Chief!"

As you can tell, I'm no sci-fi writer.
