Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly 100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
Kickstarter Success! [ May 13, 2025 ]
The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!
Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.
All of this should show up in June.
Transcript For Strip 1457
Panel 1Continue the scene. Murphy vs Hugo as Eithne looks on.
Murphy: That technology requires insane amounts of energy!
Murphy: Not to mention, the energy release when a ship drops the field could crack a moon in half.
Murphy: Not to mention problems with Hawking radiation, causality violation, and the need for 'exotic matter' to make it all work.
Panel 2
Hugo ponders the implications.
Hugo: You are correct, of course.
Hugo: While the energy-momentum tensor theory was proved in the laboratory, no one was able to translate that into a practical faster-than-light drive.
Hugo: Even my own – that is, Seamus O'Murchadha's – gravity drive, derived from that effect, could not get around the light-speed barrier.
Panel 3
Three-shot, focusing on Hugo.
Hugo: At any rate, efforts to create a space-warp were made moot when Nicole Oresme invented the Discontinuous Displacement Drive.
Eithne: You mean, The Murphy Drive?
Murphy: He never liked giving me any of the credit for it.
