If i am attacked with sarcasm then i will respond appropriately. I will not be insulted and let it slide.
I do in turn have a hand coming in to better help with the equation i need - Associate Professor Christoph Federrath.
I am certain of what i have found. Will keep it posted.

Rictusempra
The Tickling Charm (Rictusempra) was a charm that caused the target to buckle with laughter, weakening them. It also had at least one other side effect.

This is from the harry potter movies.
I do not play well with idiots.

I came to this site looking for some intellect to help myself with an equation.
But i got a sarcastic moron quoting me movie scripts.
I am getting a helping hand from Associate Professor Christoph Federrath for what i have found.
The next few months will be a change in astrophysics.

All of his posts are light-hearted like that. It's not a slight against you.

Excellent. Sorry we couldn’t help, but your need for face to face meant we would be unable to fulfil that requirement.
We will watch for an announcement.

🙄

ummm...ooh noooe!
😑

Like always, I've been misunderstood to be an idiotic troll.
☹️

@Christopher Clift
Not your fault atall Sir!
😔
But Please do give me a chance to Explain :-
🙏

I came across your OP sitting silently...i noticed FTL...then i thought perhaps your OP needs highlighting & should be put into the lime light of sorts.

FTL...as You said Yourself...is an Absolute game changer.
👍

I just wished & wanted to grab the attention of Alot of Others into it.(scholarly wise folks)
🙏

Was soo happy seeing Halc & Kryptid provide You with Confidence & offering Help!
😇

     But You mentioned you do not wish to discuss or pass on any info regarding the subject matter online.(web/internet)
👍
And i totally side by you & Understand your concerns.

But then i remembered Evan_au...
A Global Moderator, someone with a very strong grasp on almost all science topics including AstroPhysics...
& The Best part...Evan is based in Australia.
(Epiphany)

That stoopid rictusempra charm spell was a failed attempt to bring in Evan into this OP...hence Evan never showed up.
👎

Lemme further explain...when You or anyone else types this...
(@Christopher Clift)
A special email notification is sent from the TNS Website to the nickname of the person who's name is typed after the @ sign.
     Hence, even if they have not noticed or posted in the OP previously...they do get Notified that their Nick name was mentioned in the OP...hence it might grab their attention & make them appear.
😊
(Clever work for an idiot, Right?)

Christopher...i Completely Understand the situation you are stuck in Sir!
👍
You have stumbled upon something immensely important...Any new theory on FTL should have ideally rattled this webpage or any other Science Forum.
👍
I was just simply tryin to bring it to Notice to the Specialists in the Subject matter.

I was in No way tryin to make fun of You or your attempts at redefining FTL.
I meant No insult & No disrespect atall Sir!
🙏
But still, i feel Sorry i got you frustrated & antagonised, hence for it I am Sorry!

I Understand your position...Please do remain Calm...Everythin shall fall into place as time progresses, Please do not worry over it.
👍👍👍


P.S. - & for your sake & well being...for the sake of Our species...All the Very Best for your Endeavours!
👍🤞🙏
(As far as We both are concerned Personally, no harm done, no insult taken & simply no hard feelings atall...it was just simple misunderstanding which i am very much used to now, if i could be of any sorta help in the future, i shall do it with utmost Pleasure)
😇
🙏
Tc!

I can assist you in coming up with your equation on your own. It is your theory after all.

For myself to meet with A.P. Christoph i have to travel to Canberra from just out side of Sydney, only a few hundred Kms to drive. But if i could meet with someone closer with much more intellect with astrophysics math than myself (which i do not have much off) that would be great and equal findings if i am correct with their name on the paper with myself.

If you look through science fora like this one, you find plenty of people who think they are heading for a Nobel prize.
But, as far as I can tell, it never comes true.
If you want a reasonable appraisal of your chances of success, ask your bank manager for a loan secured on your paying it back when you win..

@Christopher Clift

I hereby Reject your Apology with all Humbleness, as there is Absolutely no need for it Sir!
😇
(Plz take it back)

You are a New Member and wasn't aware of how the Email Notifications on this Website work...hence it ain't your fault atall!
👍

Besides, now i feel i should have refrained from using flippant irrelevant humour... especially when the subject matter in discussion is as huge n as serious as FTL!
✌️

& Somehow i do Understand the situation you are facing...
(Almost as if You ended up discovering Thee Lost City of Atlantis, but Now when you are trying to contact Archaeological Specialists...they for some odd reason seem disinterested...almost as if they do not care...moreover they seem to think it is a joke.
I think i can clearly feel how annoying & frustrating it must be for You)
🙏

Mr Clift...FTL is bigger, alot bigger than your self respect or my idiocracy.
🙏
Let's just keep all humanly concerns aside n focus in on the Phenomenon.
✌️

Once again, WE are all here to Help you in whichever ways possible for US.
👍👍👍


P.S. - Wish to bring to your Notice a miniscule matter which might be of prime importance...

What if Einstein would have died in a steam engine train crash before he could complete his graduation...
What then would have happened to E = mc²???

What if Professor Hawking would have lost his battle with ALS before graduation...
What then would have been the fate of Hawking's Radiation Theorem?

Sir...the point is...We exist in a dynamically changing Universe.
Floods, famines, fire, war etc etc.
You Yourself mentioned you would have to travel " A Few Hundred Kilometres "...Not to mention We All are going thru a Pandemic Phase!
GOD forbid...But...What If...?
🤞
(Hope you get the point)
Could You Not Entrust your immediate Family Members with the Data of the Phenomenon?
Say like leave a carbon copy behind indoors at a safe spot?
🙏
Again... it's bout FTL...what if your gut instincts are Correct... who knows how many more decades or centuries might have to pass before the next Christopher could come up with something similar.
👍👍👍
(Mr Clift, I'd like to think, that You are Smarter & Wiser than you think)
All the Best once again & Wish you a safe trip.
🤞

The only person i have spoken to about this is my father, he believes that i am on the path.
Getting around for myself is difficult at times as i am a disabled member of society, but i don't let that hold myself back, just takes myself a little longer than others to do things.
But thank you for the support. (Water under the bridge).

Bored Chemist, thank you for your sarcasm, seems i have come to the wrong place looking for intellect.
If i wanted humour i would have attended the entertainment center.
Some are people here are warm to the heart and others should have stayed within the circus.
But being disabled myself i am used to sarcasm from low intellect people.

I got picked on, sarcasm at school after my car accident which left myself disabled for life, seems 34 years later i still get it  from some. I will depart from this site. Thank you for the ones giving support and to the others.. Well what can i say except take a mirror to bed and wake up to yourself.

Sorry to hear about the accident.
How did you come to the conclusion that it was relevant?
