I am working on a WA proposal. I would like some help in making sure it follows the WA guidelines. I believe it (now) follows the WA guidelines but I would like to make sure. Last time, it was deleted for having a real world reference. I have removed that section. The original proposal is at the bottom.


CURRENT PROPOSAL!!!!!

The world is too divided at the moment. We need to have a large amount of nations band together (such as the WA) and go beyond and pave the path to knowledge. If we unite, we can go beyond our planet and explore deeper into space and discover more things than ever imagined. New evidence is showing of the abundance of water and other organic compounds in the universe. We need to investigate further. Is ther any other life in our universe? What else is there? Can we colonize new reachers of our universe?

There are three ways to increase travel that are widely accepted:

One: Dark matter. It is believed that a dark matter propulsion system will cause our spaceships to travel much faster than our current maximum speed.We only need to bother to research how to harness this near inexhaustible resource.

Two: Wormholes. I think we have all heard about these. A wormhole is a hole that bends the universe (almost into a circle) and goes THROUGH the middle and comes out the other side. It is believed that there are two ways to acquire the technology to produce wormholes. Theory 1: Build thousands or possibly millions of lasers on asteroids arranged in a sphere and concentrate their beams into one spot. Theory 2: Atoms are believed to be made up of smaller and smaller pieces, and the smallest pieces are "universal foam." It is believed that if we can acquire enough of this "foam," we can create a wormhole.

Three: A warp drive. A warp drive functions by creating almost a wave in space. It enlarges space behind it and shrinks space in front of it, being pushed by the space behind it and gliding over the space in front of it. This promises to give us faster than light propulsion. Couple this with dark matter propulsion and we can create an extremely fast travel rate. I have worked out the actual functionality of this device. If we can get a moveable near pure embodiment (pure would be stronger than anything ever possible to be made by humans, unless my theory on gravitons [what causes gravity, or is at least BELIEVED to be, no proof yet, but something must cause gravity] is correct. If there is no gravity [all the gravitons are removed] in one body [the ship] gravity cannot enact upon it since there is no gravity for gravity to enact upon, so then the pure embodiment could be possible, however I will explain how to remove the black hole it would create later) in the front, to shrink space in front of it, and antimatter (negative mass, a gravity DEBT) would need to be in the back to enlarge space in front of it. To remove the black hole that would be created in front of the ship, the anti matter behind it would have to be placed into the black hole to cancel it out. The ship will ride on the warped space around it as if it was a wave. However, the warped area must be very small or it will cause great distortions to orbits and other things in the area. The drive could bring a ship near enough to a planet where it could enter the atmoshpere relatively soon after the arrival.

I say that the WA should unite and fan out, discovering the universe, and acquiring more space.

Scientists have no idea what it is but have ascertained that dark matter and dark energy make up 96% of the universe.



Dark matter is everywhere. It passes through everything we know on Earth, at billions of particles every second, yet no one has ever made a direct detection of this mysterious dark substance.



An even more bewildering force is dark energy, which is rapidly pushing apart our universe. Discovered only ten years ago, scientists are struggling to comprehend its unusual characteristics and to answer the ultimate question concerning the fate of our universe.

Two: Wormholes. I think we have all heard about these. A wormhole is a hole that bends the universe (almost into a circle) and goes THROUGH the middle and comes out the other side. It is believed that there are two ways to acquire the technology to produce wormholes.

Also, there are scientists working to discover proof of new universes. So, perhaps, by initiating this plan, we will reach further reaches of our DIMENSION, not just our universe.

These aren't proposals so much as they are treatises on space travel. What exactly do you want the WA to do to further the development of space and space travel? How do you want the WA to do those things? Your proposals need a lot more steak and a lot less sizzle.

We'll sell you the parts and plans. Hell, maybe even some surplus spacecraft. What do you say?

The W.A. should "acquire more space" ? Good lord is the world assembly to become a space based empire now? This resolution is foolish beyond words. We will oppose it in any form it may end up taking.

Yours e.t.c. ,

This isn't a proposal, it's an essay.

I don't oppose space conquest, but the WA has got to do something in a resolution.

hmm... ok, now I see (at least some *cough*) the problems with this. I'll review it and update this soon...

Drop the specific technologies, promote the development of a multi-lateral space programme and research sector devoted to that space programme. Also, add a pretty concrete preamble explaining why this is a good thing and you might get stronger support.
