Scientists Announce a Physical Warp Drive Is Now Possible.
>The colloquial term “warp drive” comes from science fiction, most famously Star Trek. The faster-than-light warp drive of the Federation works by colliding matter and antimatter and converting the explosive energy to propulsion. Star Trek suggests that this extraordinary power alone pushes the ship at faster-than-light speeds.
>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.
>Plus, Alcubierre himself has endorsed the new model, which is like having Albert Einstein show up to your introductory physics class.
>Of course, there’s one gigantic caveat here: The concept in this paper is still in the “far future” zone of possibility, made of ideas that scientists still don’t know how to construct in any sense.

I hope the chinese build it first.

I voted for this, by bribing my way onto tje peer-review board and then by just paying the cost of publication out of pocket.
I'm not even sure I read the paper. Al wrote it.
