Quantum Phased Cloak
Sub-quantum Phase TransformationSub-quantum Transformational Relativity is a study of a Unified Theory of both relativity and quantum physics. Phase study is a secondary discipline within Sub-quantum Transformational Relativity, dealing with how matter and energy exist in various realms of being called parallel quantum states.
According to the dogma of SqTR existence is divided up into an infinite number of states. All of the matter and energy in any one of these states is separated from the matter and energy of every other by a distinct characteristic: their quantum resonance frequency. To discuss concepts of quantum frequency requires an understanding of phase time. Phase time is simply time viewed from an absolute vantage point, not limited to the local timeframes of any one quantum state. An appropriate analogy can be found in ancient Earth cinema: the time which exists within a movie can be sped up, slowed down, or even paused without the characters within the movie becoming aware of the changes. But an audience (from their absolute vantage point) will take notice of these changes in the time speed. Such is the same for phase time, it is time viewed from a vantage point outside of any one quantum state. In phase time, all matter in every state oscillates between two resonances: interaction and non-interaction. However, no two oscillate at exactly the same frequency; meaning that although the matter in any one particular state may inhabit the same space as matter in another state, they are separated by time, or more appropriately, phase time. The quantum resonance signatures (the oscillation periods) of each state are denoted by integers (1, 2, 3, 4 . . .)
The quantum signature of any piece of matter cannot be shifted from one full integer to another by any known process, because as matter departs from its "original" quantum state, it requires an exponentially increasing amount of energy to push it further, seeking infinity as it approaches the next quantum state.
Related to the concept of quantum phasing is the concept of sub-quantum phasing. Sub-quantum phasing occurs only between two quantum integers, and is therefore contained to one state. Instead of changing the resonance of matter from 1 to 2 (which would change the orientation of a person or object that is shifted), the frequency is changed by a smaller incremental value, such as 1.0001 or 1.0002. This process, properly called sub-quantum phase transformation.
Quantum Phase Inducer
It is by this scientific thought that Dameun science has produced a new working line of technology based on the idea that matter can be phased out of one state into another. While harnessing the needed energy to produce such a shift is impossible, the application of available energies into a designed inducer could, for intensive purposes, phase an object out of this matterial plane, but remain in existance on it. These phased objects would be unable to interact with any non-induced matter, but still with the functionaries of its own being.
This inducer would eat up energy at an incredible rate to preform such a high degree of shift (approximatly 1.05 oscillation), fortunatly we have also the perfect generators designed for these newest technologies. Our Gravametric engines can easily be remodled into pure energy recepticales to power the phase inducers. Even still, it would require two reactors the size of the Ghost's engines to power one of these inducers, as is their power intake/output ratio. As such, for space operations, a new class of ship will need to be designed in order to accomidate these bohemoths of power and science. No special design has yet to be laid out, but there are rumours in military circles of things to come.

If you'd prefer to be more flexible as far as the ship, itself, is concerned, I'm satisfied there.
Just know that the reductions imposed on the ship would be hard to expect, given that we're not aware of the design you have in mind.
Otherwise, for my vote, I'll need to think on the sheer power of it.

Will the device be exclusive to this yet-designed starship? If so, I'd like to see that, first; otherwise I'm curious as to what preexisting ship(s) you have in mind.
#33 2:03am 07/01/04
Hmm... looks like an uber spy ship R&D. I'd like to see the intended R&D before I give an approval.

light goes through it too, but it isnt a requirement that light be stoped for it to produce a see-able form. Like prisms in the atmosphere making the sky blue...
And there is nothing that says that subspace communications are anything more than information transmitted in the subspace realm. As such I dont see why it should be blocked. If you have proof to the contrary, post it already and nullify my points, lol.
As for sensors, same thing as Communications, I dont see why it should be able to stop them, unless you have something to the opposite...
#31 1:05am 06/01/04
That doesn't make sense. Solid objects and energy goes through it, but light, sensors and communications don't?

Visible sight, as in us seeing out would probobaly be just as distorted as those trying to view us. Would make the galaxy look like a trippy place looking out a viewport.
As for sensors, I dont see why they should be adversly effected. Calibrated to bypass the Quantum effect they should read as normal, even without calibration they should work just fine. Sensors would detect a vessel inside it as well, wouldnt be a problem.
#29 11:37pm 05/01/04
I mean more like you seeing out. And sensors too...
#28 11:26pm 05/01/04
Sure, I dont see why you wouldnt be able to see it, might look like a light fog though...
#27 11:14pm 05/01/04
What about visibility. Light is a solid object..

My people dont eat remember? The act of eating is a useless act meant only for fun, no longer necessary. The energy the body needs comes from microscopic-sized hydrogen fuel cells.
As for damaged components, assemblers onboard the vessel could repair them, seeing as the only damage the ship should feasably suffer is old parts breaking down. Thus a disassembler system could take it apart, and assemblers could build it again like it was new.
As for crew replacement, the Dameun body could survive almost indefinantly under such lienant conditions, thus the issuie becomes one of mentallity. Mysterys could be replaced over the Intelligence Web, so they could be replaced as pleased.

[quote]Permenant, once raised, always raised. To shut it down would be to destroy the ship. Nothing can exit the ship and nothing can enter it. Its pretty much a one way proposition.[/quote]
Unfeasible.
How would a crew get onboard, or off it? How would they get food? How would you repair damaged components? How...
Permanent... doesn't really make sense to me.

Yes, and yes it is theory, like most of what SciFi is based on, just like Star Wars. Not much has yet to be proven, but as long as their is a theory, theres realm to imagine and create.

[quote] This is a phased cloak so it can go through solid matter. And it is all theory isn't it? Not proven.[/quote]
Just so you don't miss it. You both posted in the same minute.
#22 5:46am 05/01/04
Well, im not concerned with the holonet or other forms of comunication, so Im willing to let it go on the basis im unsure as to exactly how it operates. The Intelligence web is more a series of information transmission via subspace, this itself should not be interrupted by the resonance of the Cloak.
