The paper showing that general relativity permits a spacetime that carries a region faster than light relative to distant observers, at the cost of negative energy density. Alcubierre himself calls it a mathematical curiosity. Speakers cite it whenever a craft's motion is called impossible; the paper describes geometry, not engineering.

Passage

It is shown how, within the framework of general relativity and without the introduction of wormholes, it is possible to modify a spacetime in a way that allows a spaceship to travel with an arbitrarily large speed.

    linearly right so here I am near and it takes me 8 hours but if I had the ability to warp space time not even that much you don't have to fold it all you have to do watch this if you have the ability to just compress space time a little bit yeah just a little bit now watch this right I'm going to show you this so now

    the the plates moving with respect to each other a tiny amount and this has been observed in the laboratory. Yeah, Casimir effect. >> effect, exactly. And but that only works in one direction. Yeah. And it's But yeah, I mean, it's it's one of these weird quantum things that is moving in the direction you're saying

    my vantage point then never seemed to tie into anti-gravity or the possibility of that or faster than light travel or warp drives or wormholes or any of that. people did many people did things on like string theory for example maybe general relativity but um much more abstract mathematical and from
