another sci fi story idea

i have a really awesome sci fi story idea i may have shared with you before - it goes like this

basically when a ship warp jumps, two versions of the ship are created.  one where the passengers basically blink and they are at their destination and a second one that "ghosts" the entire distance.  nothing on the ghosting ship changes anything that happens in reality but all the crew members, etc. are all awake and fully conscious and aware during the entire voyage.  i was going to write a series of stories of the adventures, romances, crazy murder sprees, etc. ghosting passengers did because their existences were totally and utterly meaningless and nothing they did or said, etc. could ever affect actual reality.

alan said something really cool about it:

so the memory of everyone who has warped is that its instantaneous, but an alternate version of them is created each time and has to pay for the quick travel with some eternal voyage?

EXACTLY and a very poetic way to express it :) nice work alan!
