Torpic Objects and Time Travel

Slowly emerging from the confused conceptual framework of time-travel comes the realisation by quantum physicists that the over-riding physical problem is 'FBP' or the field breaking phenomenon. Any object that travels faster than light must sever its field lines from its surroundings. The problem with that is that severance results in an infinite rate of change of curvature at the point where the field breaks. For example, a straight line has zero rate of change of curvature except at the ends where the value is infinite. As the force of gravity is proportional to the rate of change of curvature we find that we immediately create a meta-object at the breaking region. This object suddenly emerging will drastically affect its surroundings and destroy our travelling time-naut.

So enter the Torpic Object. Rather than travel faster than light (with its associated problems), even if only for a few nano-metres which many researchers have suggested is all that is necessary, objects can instead drop out of the continuum by eliminating movement at the macro and quantum level at the object/surround interface. Such an object that has become still in this way has been defined as a 'Torpic Object', and scientists are now busy assessing the technical viability of this new approach.
