I never said otherwise. I simply said that, in my native language, both the Alcubierre engine and the science-fictional warp drive from Star Trek are called "curvature engine."

In my native language, which is Italian, both the Alcubierre drive and the Star Trek warp drive are referred to as "curvature engine." In this case, I used warp drive because I have seen it used as a more colloquial term to refer to all those models — not just Alcubierre’s — that aim to create a...

I don't remember. Over the years, I've read quite a lot of things about Alcubierre’s theories, and it's impossible for me to remember exactly where I read what. But I don't think it's particularly relevant. I believe it would make more sense to just explain where I might've gotten things wrong...

As I said, I’ve never studied physics in a formal academic setting, and I don’t have the mathematical knowledge required to follow most of the technical literature. If I got something wrong, I'm more than happy to be corrected.

Hi everyone, I've been thinking about the concept of warp drive. From what I understand, when a ship is inside a warp bubble, it's completely cut off from the external universe. No radiation from the outside can enter the bubble, and nothing inside can interact with the outside while the...

Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself quickly. My name's Luis and I'm from Italy, more specifically from Naples. I'm not a physicist and I've never formally studied physics. I can't really do any complex math or calculations either, but that hasn't stopped me from being passionate about...
