I've heard often about how the energy estimate for warp drive has been revised down from the mass of the universe to that of Jupiter. Forgive my ignorance, but is this just a matter of refining the shape of the warp around a spaceship, or is it something else? What would it take to further drive down that theoretical energy requirement? Is there a trade-off being considered here?
- qubex 7y agoIt is the result of refining the geometry of the warp bubble to be generated by two toroids rather than a single ring, inflating the interior compared to the external perception thereof (a la Tardis), and most critically, by oscillating the field.
