Not if the Alcubierre drive works, which there's no reason to believe it doesn't. Cracking FTL doesn't mean just stepping on the gas really hard.

- nabla9 7y agoThere is a good reason to believe that Alcubierre drive does not exist. It's allowed by Eninsteins equations if you have negative energy but quantum gravity would invalidate it. Einstein's equations allow all kinds of weird solutions that physicists don't believe can really exist. Discovering them is just a way to study the equations theoretically. Alcubierre Warp Drive Metric or Gödel metric (rotating universe) are just two of them.
