What does a jump drive actually do?

I know that a jump drive uses AntiGravitons to rip a hole in space/time. But exactly how does it do this?

What are the mechanics behind the Temblor Bomb?

Try looking back a few weeks in the posts, there was a nice long one on jump drives somewhere (anyone remember the name?). As far as the temblor, my guess is just a well placed bomb with emphasis on concussion instead of heat or radiation. Actually sort of a dificcult thing to do on a scale that can destroy a planet (probably based on an atomic bomb with heavy metal casing or some similar "device"

I don't respect your authority BECAUSE YOU HAVE NONE!!!
 
I don`t like stating the obvious, but I don`t think anyone really knows how to rip a hole in the space\time continuum... unless you know something I don`t...

...in which case we probably wouldn`t be having this coversation in the first place now, would we?

`tis that simple, eh Quarto? I think I`ll give it a try. If you don`t hear from me in the next 100 years or so, you can assume I`m on the other side of the galaxy...


... NOT!!

But if you know how to get from here to where ever, shouldn't you be able to come from where ever back here? So shouldn't we hear from you in a couple of days?

Besides I've been RedDog for years before I came on to WC.

Chernikov I'm new here so I must of just missed it, I did check 2 weeks back but couldent find anything close.

And Quarto I think you could write a book about how to split the universe in two.

You don't need a book, it can all be put into one line. If you want to split the universe, just get on the highest point you can find, with the biggest radio transmitter you can find, and yell "Microsoft Sucks!" and you'll split it faster than The Big Bang formed it

I might be right, I might be wrong, but then again, I just might not care either. Got a problem with that?--Me.

You could have waited with that remark a few days, untill you`re absolutly sure I`m gone.
I`m still working on that chisel thing. I`m trying to figure out where would be the best place to give it a whack with that hammer thing... O.K, I`m trying a new angle... O.k, here goes nothing... WHACK!!! ...strange... nothing seems to happen... wait a second... something`s begining to stirr... ... ... em... Yikes, it worked!! see ya later people! (or maybe not)
 
You forget that he went through both space and time. Who knows how long he was gone?

Come to think of it, how can we be sure it's really him? Perhaps it's a Kilrathi imposter! Maybe they're already planning their assault on our defenceless homeworld...
 
Well, Quarto, there is only one way to find out for sure if you're right.

Ok, here goes:

Hey, Mad Hatter, you're sa'guk and your ancestors are nothing but a bunch of low-born utak!

Now let's wait for his reaction. (And I need some cover if he tries to get after me!)
