"Warp" is bending space, the object remains stationary.
(doubt the accidental field though)
Careful, you might be wrong, some day.
I think our current science is also limited by the elements of our periodic table too.. however this has not stopped new elements being added over time. Our current science has evolved massively over the last 60-70 years in particular, but inventions and discoveries have been made for many hundreds if not thousands of years before that. Computers alone have evolved massively since the miniaturisation of many components and integrated circuitry.
Our science is still learning new things all the time, who knows what the next big propulsion fuel or technology will be, but one thing is for sure, we can not rely on fossil fuels indefinitely, and at some point it will either run out or become so scarce that it will not be viable for the planetary needs. *And that is before you consider space exploration/travel*
For the sake of vanity and fashion you see every single day people ditching their old TV, mobile phone or computer in favour of the 'new model' and when you consider the raw materials that go into making all these devices.. i do often wonder just how much of that material may become scarce also in the future and if modern science makes a big discovery that needs those materials and we've wasted it all now in this century? what then? we will have held ourselves back because of fashion/greed in this century.
So while i find articles like that exciting stuff to read, i still see it as science fiction writing until it becomes confirmed a lot more than just that article.
Until then, i just hope mankind can stop plundering the planet as it is right now, and heck, perhaps even not hunt animals to extinction where there is a possibility that something those animals possess might actuall cure cancer or other disease. We don't tend to stop and think about that now do we?

I don't trust an entity like NASA that hired countless personas like Werner von Braun and built their Apollo rocket based on German WK2 technology. NASA - Never A Straight Answer. Shady.
Timothy Leary, I think, once pointed out that historically those who are power hungry habitually exploit those who are creative...but still, creativity and progress keep happening and altering the world in ways unforeseeable despite the best efforts of those who believe creativity is at their command to exploit. I think one of the really nice things about human ingenuity is that it cannot be suppressed or controlled for any long length of time

They proved scientifically that you cannot go faster than the speed of sound... but that got broken anyway. Alcubierre's Theory doesn't break the E=MC2 rule because inside the bubble the ship isn't going faster than light. It's basically a loophole in real world physics.
Good! +1; I was wondering when when someone would mention that...
Essentially I think (and I'm no expert), you accelerate close to the speed of light; then with some sort of tech, kick in your warp. Sort of 'ninja'd' Tinman...

On a random note , I love when people quote what we know about physics as fact and the end of the story. Wasn't it recently questioned, with the usual theoretical questions and loads of weird chalk marks on black boards , new theory on particle physics , mapping models on computers and deep space monitoring using the most advanced telescopes, that the big bang is also wrong and didn't happen. As greater understanding comes with research and development of better monitoring equipment the usual rules we understand as fact become redundant. Therefore the old wrinkly bloke with the fuzzy hair , brilliant as he obviously was, may not have had all the facts to assume his sum was correct that C is the fastest you can go.
Also I can prove it. I put 20 quid in my wallet and its gone before I even see it. Is it gone or is it actually dead ? I guess that you cannot know until you open you wallet and observe it .When not observed it is neither there nor not there , or maybe the cat stole it .
Also Terry Pratchett proved light can move extremely slowly , oh no that was a fantasy book wasn't it?

Ah the Schrodinger's self vaporizing beer token theorem, it leaves a layer of dark matter all over your tongue.
heh, lookit all these sheeple who put their faith in science instead of science

Thank you ! now's the reason to remove multiplayer mode, and implement fast fowarding time again ! (funny )
Interesting video. R+ for you
Proof please.
He doesn't need to provide you with proof that the sound barrier has already been broken, its pretty much common knowledge.
Please can people stop confusing engineering problems with physical impossibility.
The sound barrier is an engineering solution, as is steam trains and all the other completely unrelated stuff people keep quoting. You cant use an engineering solution to break a fundamental physical law.
