You assume that I'm not aware that the physical velocity of the Alcubierre drive would not be above c - this is wrong. I'm talking about the relative speed of travel, not the absolute speed of the vessel. At no time would the velocity actually increase above c using this principle. No...

But, I'm talking about having the effect of traveling faster than light, not traveling faster than light through "normal" spacetime. So, what I am saying is that there may be a way to alter the structure of spacetime, "folding" it to compress before, and expand after, a fixed area of spacetime...

People seem to be getting confused with the concepts involved in some of the faster than light travel methods that have been theoretically proposed. No, it is not possible to travel faster than the speed of light through the normal, physical universe in our current understanding of physics...
