I'm not a physicist so take this with a huge grain of salt, but from what I understand, this proposed warp bubble would use the casimir effect. But the casimir effect works by creating a gap so narrow it excludes wavelengths of energy larger than it. So even if the math were all correct and you actually built one of these, wouldn't it be too small to actually send a signal through? And if nothing can fit through it, is there any point?
- colechristensen 5y agoNo, it would be a few micrometers across, hundreds of times larger than features on advanced microchips. And if it is effectively a warp bubble, it wouldn’t have any immediate useful application, but for teasing you could send electrons or photons through it and measure effects. This is not a wormhole, the likely effect is either nothing or a slight signal timing change.
