Apr 16, 2015 at 16:04 | comment | added | AndyD273 | @JDługosz this is different than an Alcubierre-style drive. Those warp space to make a bubble, making pressure behind and less in front, and moving the ship through space faster than light, while technically speaking the ship isn't moving that fast. This method would move the ship from one place to the other without going through the space in between. With more research into string theory it is theoretically possible. OP has already chosen his answer, and it is correct with all of our current knowledge. | |
