Engage warp drive, Number 1

Well, keeping up with the theme, it looks like FTL travel is possible.

“ ....

This brings us to the new study, which scientists in the Advanced Propulsion Laboratory (APL) at Applied Physics just published in the peer-reviewed journal Classical and Quantum Gravity. In the report, the APL team unveils the world’s first model for a physical warp drive—one that doesn’t require negative energy.

The physical model uses almost none of the negative energy and capitalizes on the idea that spacetime bubbles can behave almost however they like. And, the APL scientists say, this isn’t even the only other way warp speed could work. Making a model that’s at least physically comprehensible is a big step.”

As possible as you dating a super-model

Humans spreading like Covid thru the Universe
There's your gloom, Gloom guy
Never leave home without it

Humans are definitely not ready to meet other intelligent life.

If they are aggressive, they'll just kill us with their superior technology.

If they are peace-loving, they will be horrified by us, once they get to know us. So they will decide that as a matter of self-preservation, they'll just kill us with their superior technology.

LOSE-LOSE!

Warp drives, being inertially moving shells of normal or exotic material, do not have
any natural way of changing their velocities. They are just like any other types of
inertially moving objects. Similarly, just like for any other massive objects, achieving
a certain velocity for a warp drive requires an externally applied force or, more
practically, some form of propulsion. Propulsion may be realized, for example, by
an interaction with a bosonic field, or regular gaseous or plasma material.

In other words, you still need "Go Juice".

For those who like the math, there's a link from the Yahoo article to the original paper in pdf form.
Keep in mind that Einstein had issues with Minkowski space ignoring gravitation and M Space is an assumption of this paper.

Oh boy.

I did date a supermodel.

5 wonderful weeks during the fall in Venice Beach and Miami.
