The original Alcubierre paper came up with the energy equivalent of the entire mass of Jupiter, if I remember correctly.

- Retric 3y agoWhich as shocking as it sounds still small compared to large gravitational waves. The merger of black holes radiate something like 10% of that mass as gravitational waves. Start talking 2.5+ million solar masses black holes and ~500,000 solar mass worth of energy in gravitational waves seems plausible though obviously rare.
