I presently have no time to get into GR, but surely wish I did. Here instead of comment I offer two papers:
Erik Lentz (underlying the work in the press release here):
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.07125.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.07125.pdf
And similar seeming work by another group at something called the “advanced propulsion lab” (who are they?)

It’s interesting that they both claim positive energy solutions that, eh hem, do the trick.
- NiceWayToDoIT 6y agoIs there any physical proof that theory is sound in those papers? I mean have they tried to send anything electron, atom or anything small that would confirm FTL speed ?
- tobmlt 6y agoNo they just wrote it down. These are not experimental papers. A smallest possible scale experiment would the logical follow up, unless some GR expert shoots holes in the models on paper first. Edit: ftl is not the experiment in question. Simply demonstrating some minuscule effect due to manipulated spacetime curvature would Be quite enough! (Enough to be a huge deal, even if it’s not even useful practically, for the foreseeable future)
