Click For Summary
The discussion on the feasibility of the Alcubierre warp drive highlights that there have been no significant advancements in the field since previous threads. Participants emphasize the need for more focused inquiries rather than broad questions. The consensus is that the topic remains too speculative and lacks concrete developments. A suggestion is made to reference specific research papers for deeper exploration. Ultimately, the thread was closed due to its broad nature and lack of new information.

those threads are a bit old
Nothing substantial has changed in the subject area.

Alcubierre warp drive. Can it ever be created? Obstacles? Complete impossibilities?
This is much too broad for a PF discussion. You need to find a specific question you are interested in, based on some specific paper (not just a search of all papers on arxiv.org), and start a new thread with that specific question.

This thread is closed.

Thread 'Is using r as a coordinate in Birkhoff's theorem a limitation?'

In Birkhoff’s theorem, doesn’t assuming we can use r (defined as circumference divided by ## 2 \pi ## for any given sphere) as a coordinate across the spacetime implicitly assume that the spheres must always be getting bigger in some specific direction? Is there a version of the proof that doesn’t have this limitation? I’m thinking about if we made a similar move on 2-dimensional manifolds that ought to exhibit infinite order rotational symmetry. A cylinder would clearly fit, but if we...
