Phase D Quick Reference Card

Status: Week 1 Day 1 ✅ Complete | Days 2-7 ⏳ In Progress
Updated: October 13, 2025


🎯 The Question

Can quantum gravity enable warp drive propulsion?

Answer in: 244 days (June 14, 2026)


📊 The Numbers

What Value Status
Current g₀ 3.96×10⁻¹²¹ J Too weak
Target g₀ 1.0×10⁻⁵⁰ J Required
Gap 10⁷¹× The Challenge
Tier 1 max 10⁶× Insufficient ❌
Tier 2 hope 10³⁰× Uncertain ❓
Tier 3 need 10⁷¹× Required ✅

🗓️ Timeline

🚦 Decision Gates

Week 1 (Oct 20)

  • α ≥ 1.3 → Continue Tier 1
  • α < 0.7 → Skip to Tier 3

4-Week (Nov 11)

  • Enhancement ≥ 10⁶× → Tier 2
  • Enhancement < 10⁶× → Tier 3

24-Week (Jun 14)

  • g₀ ≥ 10⁻⁵⁰ J → SUCCESS 🎉
  • g₀ < 10⁻⁸⁰ J → LIMIT 📊

✅ Today's Result

Finding: Even N² scaling requires N ~ 10³⁵ (impossible)

Conclusion: Collective enhancement alone CANNOT enable warp drive

Value: Establishes quantitative benchmark for LQG collective effects

Next: Measure empirical α anyway (for science!)


📋 This Week

  • Day 1: Analytical bounds
  • Day 2: Network construction
  • Days 4-5: Measure α
  • Days 6-7: Report & decide

🎯 Success = Finding ANY path to g₀ ≥ 10⁻⁵⁰ J

Probability: 5-20% (long-shot but not impossible)


💡 Remember

"Either we find a way, or we establish the limit.
Both outcomes advance science."
