  2. Alcubierre drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive

    The Alcubierre metric defines the warp-drive spacetime.It is a Lorentzian manifold that, if interpreted in the context of general relativity, allows a warp bubble to appear in previously flat spacetime and move away at effectively faster-than-light speed.

  3. Warp drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_drive

    The solution to Einstein’s field equations proposed by Alcubierre defines a spacetime metric—known as the Alcubierre metric—where spacetime itself is distorted in a controlled manner. The metric creates a region of compressed spacetime in front of the spacecraft and expanded spacetime behind it, forming a "warp bubble."

    White attracted the attention of the press when he began presenting his ideas at space conventions and publishing proposals for Alcubierre drive concepts. In 2011, he released a paper titled Warp Field Mechanics 101 that outlined an updated concept of Miguel Alcubierre's faster-than-light propulsion concept, including methods to prove the feasibility of the project.

  5. The idea of a warp drive is particularly appealing because it’s technically describable within general relativity, as the Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed back in 1994 ...

    Alcubierre's metric is very simple: outside the bubble is Minkowski space, inside the bubble is also Minkowski space but skewed with respect to the outside coordinates (deck-of-cards style, like a Galilean transformation), and to avoid discontinuity there's a thin boundary shell where the metric blends smoothly between the inside and outside ...

    Miguel Alcubierre made a special appearance on the TV productions How William Shatner Changed the World [14] and Michio Kaku's Sci Fi Science: Physics of the Impossible, [15] [16] in which his warp bubble theory was discussed. Alcubierre has been invited twice to interviews on radio station Radio Educación XEEP (1060 AM), first on February 18 ...

    Introduction. Something like "In 1994 Alcubierre proposed a hypothetical models of: a space ship drive capable of 'faster than light' travel; a model of space-time (the Alcubierre Metric) which described the 'warp field' which the drive would use. The intro should use pop-science terminology to avoid frightening off the non-specialist reader.
