What do you mean by that? Not to be a negative Nancy but the titles of both the paper and the video are a bit click-baity. None of this will be possible in our lifetime, the amounts of energy required are way too large, even if it could be engineered (which I have doubts about). Imo as a society we need to focus on getting off earth and establishing colonies in our own solar system first, before we can even start dreaming about going to other stars.

- trompetenaccoun 5y agoFair. I certainly didn't mean that they shouldn't be able to study this. To use an analogy my point is more that it's similar to how early hominids "studied" going to the moon when they didn't even know how to make fire yet. It's an interesting idea to think about but was science fiction then, just like warp drives are today. Science fiction doesn't necessarily mean it's unscientific. But we don't know where to get the energy equivalent of 1/10th of the solar mass and somehow put it in a spaceship. It's absolutely not something we can work on solving even in theory right now.
