Yeah the only energy source that can produce enough energy to power an Alcubierre drive (warp drive) that humanity has ever even conceived is a matter-antimatter reactor. But we don’t even fully understand matter, much less antimatter, and are pretty far from that. 2250 at the earliest is not an unreasonable estimate.
- ben_w 3y agoAntimatter wouldn't be even close to powerful enough, and both matter and antimatter have got the wrong sign for every (or almost every, depending on which headline I trust) warp drive variation. As antimatter is as powerful as one can get, it not being powerful enough is a good reason to think it's not going to work.
