I don't purport to understand the details, but I understand if you
take a massive torus, charge it up and rotate it to near lightspeed,
you get a gateway to another universe. I *think* this is called a Kerr
Metric Space Warp.

Assume that such a thing exists and operates. I've heard that in a
different universe, different physical laws would apply.

However, the gateway (first end) would only work if it was built in
accord with physical law in our universe. And a gateway has two ends.
How could the second end of the gateway exist in a alternate universe
unless the laws of that universe were either the same or very similar?

No, it won't happen with a torroid..

I suspect "another universe" is a metaphor at best. Perhaps a gateway to
another point in this universe.

You was looking for a sci fi NG ,,,this isnt it

If people don't say much about it, it's probably because they don't know
much about it. I don't know much about what you've described, either.
But the Kerr metric describes the gravitation of a spherically symmetric
mass without net charge. What distinguishes it from the Schwarzschild
metric is frame dragging -- as you go closer you'll get some angular
momentum relative to the rest of the universe, and as you go farther away
you'll lose it (or get angular momentum in the other direction). It's not
like a whirlpool because you're not fighting against a current, if you
arrange to put a stationary object there it won't spontaneously pick up
angular velocity unless it falls.

Forward, in his book _Indistinguishable From Magic_, described some space
travel schemes involving spinning donuts, I don't know how closely related
that is to what you've described.

If it's a gateway to somewhere else, I think it's usually assumed it was
once there and moved to a new place, as in one of the openings of a
wormhole.

BWAHHHHH HAAAAAH AHAHAHHHHH AHAHAHAHHAAHHAH!

This from the girl who posted among other things he

Invented Miracle Engine that gets 1000s of mpg.
Knows how to make diamonds from scratch.
Knows how to make transparent aluminum.
Can make a super nuke bomb with oil and stuff.
Says she's a Multigazzilionaire.
Says she mines thousands or millions of tons of gold from ocean floor.
(*) and has to use WebTV to access the Internet.
Is a 8 foot indian.
Owns a huge ship that is a technological wonderland.

And you have the nerve to tell HIM he needs to go to a sci fi
newsgroup?

BWAHHHHH HAAAAAH AHAHAHHHHH AHAHAHAHHAAHHAH!
