No. I am not a physicist, but my understanding is that certain devices that have been proposed for use in space manipulation devices (e.g. wormholes, alcubierre drive), require either a form of matter that has reverse gravity or thousands of times the available energy of the known universe.

- Dn_Ab 15y agoAntimatter is not going to help you there. You need exotic matter of the negative mass kind. which are not thought to exist.
- HelloBeautiful 15y ago>> which are not thought to exist which have been observed a few times in colliders
- btilly 15y agoCitation needed. Matter with negative mass would be big news.
- VladRussian 15y ago>thousands of times the available energy of the known universe. the pieces of Universe that is more than 13B light years from us are moving with speed faster than light relative to us. The machinery behind it is space expansion. And by definition that is using energy less or equal to the universe's energy. So that is the start. The Alcubierre drive is the idea of how to use the same principle on much smaller scale. It is very doubtful that it would require more energy than moving the whole galaxies [which, let me repeat, are moving faster than light relative to us and to each other]
