NASA Creates Microscopic Telescope "Doorways" to View Beginning of Time

NASA engineers and scientists building the James Webb Space Telescope, the "next-generation" Hubble, have created a new telescope technology called microshutters. Microshutters are tiny doorways that will allow the telescope to view the most distant stars and galaxies humans have ever seen. Each of the 62,000 shutters measures 100 by 200 microns, or roughly the width of three to six human hairs.

The Webb Telescope will have a wide field of view, and its deep, long observation of the sky will contain millions of light sources. Microshutters allow scientists to remotely and systematically block out light that they do not want. Previously, masks of space telescopes only covered large regions of a field of view at any one time.The shutters allow NASA scienists to perform spectroscopy on up to 100 targets simultaneously. They will be able to see deeper, faint, ancient light in less time.

Hubble's Ultra-Deep Field provides the deepest view of the universe, an image containing tens of thousands of light sources. Some of these light sources are relatively close and some are from an era just after galaxies and stars formed. To go deeper, scientists need to mask the brighter, closer sources and focus only on the most distant.

Basically this is a very scientific idea that can be very expensive and would take long to create, basically promote space travel, due to the law of physics and space and such there is no gravity, the force to make a ship fly faster than the speed of light aka warp speed. It would take one jupiter to convert that much energy to push a huge ship, lets say negative energy is in front of the ship which there is, there is nothing. positve energy which is behing the big craft is created, right now we use limited fuel in rockets that only shoot out energy but it aint enough. now lets think of the technology we have today, a hydrocolider that has been out for quit some times has magnets that propel, it takes two years for the magnets to hit the speed of the speed of light, once they do they clash and crush atoms which create a mini big bang posibly mini black holes. The big bang travels faster than the speed of light, the actual big bang was said to expand from one trillionths of a nucleus to a basket ball in a second and so on and so on, its still expanding, so my idea is to take this master mind creation and build it in space build several of them, why not make it a huge ship, turn the hydro coliders 1111 on and they actually will speed up quicker than anything due to no gravity once the hydro coliders reach full potential and crush atoms it actually creates the positive energy in the back to push this ship in zero gravity and remember how I mentioned the negative energy will be in the front, also I said the big bang was faster than than the speed of light, have three of these engines on a ship, that's warp speed, that's space travel for ya, these engines will have several sets of these coliders on each engine, ship can go fast enough to bend in dark energy which shrinks the matter without harming it. Its an idea and who's this can be the idea. I wouldn't think it would fail from the facts of studying space and machines. That's a new idea.
