Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I have no idea about what warp speed warhammer style is, but the idea of traveling faster than light using warp speed is a fantasy that doesn't work even in theory, because you can't bend space faster than light either, because gravity too can't travel faster than light. So the idea of traveling faster than light because you are moving within a warped field can never work, because you can't move the warp field faster than light anyway.
Never really got into the warhammer universe, I know it's HUGE, maybe some day I'll get around to it.
There are actually several ways that faster than light travel would work mathematically. We just are nowhere near having the resources to test them.
You can describe a perfect circle very very easily mathematically, a circle with infinitely fine grained curvature. But such a circle cannot exist in reality, because quantum space prohibit it.
I don't give a shit about mathematical descriptions of things that aren't real, math is insanely efficient at describing reality, but it would be equally efficient at describing ANY reality.
Also there are no ways that math within the confines of the standard model can describe faster than light travel. Because in reality it's not just light, it is causality of everything that has a maximum speed of light. The idea of for instance tachyons moving backwards in time is only a hypothesis, not a scientific theory. There is nothing that shows that tachyons should exist. But many things that shows us they don't. Breaking down causality for one, and the same is the case with faster than light travel, it breaks causality, and makes the universe a Picasso universe without rules. And clearly we do not live in a Picasso universe, because there are indeed rules we can rely on for science to work.
