Please ask your physicists if they’ve heard of the Alcubierre drive. Not if they believe in it or if they have a debunk or it; but if they’ve even heard of it.

Please ask your physicists if they’ve heard of the Alcubierre drive. Not if they believe in it or if they have a debunk or it; but if they’ve even heard of it. I’ve talked to multiple ex cERNs and none of them have even heard of it but will be happy to say FTL is stupid. (I’m perfectly aware of the outrageous requirements of the various Alcubierre configurations, but the point is before this it was considered mathematically impossible to do FTL. Now it’s just physical. The point is modern day academics are quite good at being very confident that everything except what they do is crap.)
