Alcubierre Warp Drive: 2nd Law of Thermodynamics Impossibility?

Message
[QUOTE="Randy Subers, post: 6022998, member: 599000"] It seems to me that if one had a functional Alcubierre drive and used it there would be some subluminal frame of reference in which time was going backwards for the spaceship which probably for it and for macroscopic objects in it which constitute a reasonably closed system would be a violation of the second law of thermodynamics and thus the Alcubierre drive is impossible unless one were to assume there is a privileged rest frame in which the second law of thermodynamics must apply but it can be violated for others. Or am I missing something? [/QUOTE]
