Of course we will have to get our Dilithium Crystals from the Martians, because they won't let us drill in Alaska.

By "studied" they mean we've taken apart the one we have in Area 51 and are figuring out how to put it into a DeLorean.

if a large enough magnetic field was created, the craft would slip into a different dimension, where the speed of light is faster...I don't think it takes 3 hours for light to get from Earth to Mars.

It would seem to mean having to change the fabric of spacetime everywhere in the universe, but for going into some hypothetical dimension change.

The theoretical engine works by creating an intense magnetic field that, according to ideas first developed by the late scientist Burkhard Heim in the 1950s, would produce a gravitational field and result in thrust for a spacecraft. He, he. I guess Heim must not have gotten a physics degree. Maybe this is just an attempt to make the Iranians divert their attention from the a-bomb to this thing.

"... where the speed of light is faster ..."
Garbage.

Will Howard Dean be the first passenger? Maybe he already made the trip. :)
(A swipe at Dean, not the technological efforts.)

I think the three hours includes waiting in line while security X-Rays your shoes.
To: Brilliant
Well, there's the embarkation and arrival - acceleration and deceleration - that will consume most of that 3 hours.
