It is possible to do both, high speed and high mass, using nuclear reactions via a continuous nuclear explosion from mixing uranium salts with water and allowing them to come to a critical mass you could achieve some really fantastic numbers. anti-matter has even more potential but is much harder to use.
A prime example of such a porpulsion method that employs minute quantities of antimatter would be an Antimatter Catalyzed Micro Fission/Fusion.

I suppose we all thought that, in one way or another"

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
