> I heard that Alcubierre somewhat regrets having his name on this spacetime as he gets contacted by all kinds of Star Trek fans and other people who believe they can produce the drive. He has done all kinds of other quality research in General Relativity, but this is what he will be famous for. This is untrue, it's really offensive to a person that's dedicated years of his life to this research, and it set a terrible tone for the rest of the comments. He gives talks all the time to groups that are interested in developing a "warp drive". He puts up photos of Star Trek in his talks! He even refers to his own work as potentially developing a "warp drive". Look at one of his recent talks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q_z8BjiYng https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q_z8BjiYng and please stop spreading negative rumors about scientists.
