Also can negative effective mass be used as a replacement in a warp drive? Also what is the most realistic warp drive theory?

Do you even know what "negative effective mass" is in band theory of solids? Your question appears to show a huge misconception of what it is.

I don't.

Then shouldn't you figure out what it is FIRST before trying to make speculative guesses on whether it may "... be used as a replacement in a warp drive ..."? It is nothing like what you think it is.

Sorry just one more question can dark energy be used in a warpdrive? I realize this might be a nonsensical question because we don't know what dark energy is exactly. Is dark energy negative mass? What is negative effective mass?

Before we go any further, you need to re-read the PF Rules that you had agreed to, especially regarding speculative posts, and then you need to read this:

Your obsession with negative effective mass and warp drive and such is not healthy, especially when you admittedly don't know what it is.

Since this thread is about the OP's speculation, it is now closed.
