Introducing the Warpship!

Very interesting find. For those who believe FTL travel is impossible, the same was said about the sound barrier until Chuck Yager broke it. Kinda funny since the crack of a whip is actually a sonic boom!

And you got your doctorate in Physics from....

However, the amount of energy required would be enormous, equivalent to converting the entire mass of Jupiter to energy. That amount is at least feasible, whereas Einstein's original calculations found that simply traveling at the speed of light would take an infinite amount of energy.

Baylor researcher Richard Obousy said the required energy needed to warp space could potentially be sharply reduced in the future.

"Early calculations indicated that a warp drive would require more mass energy than was available in the entire universe," Obousy said. "Later, a more ingenious calculation demonstrated that it would require about the mass energy contained within an entire galaxy. What is exciting about our warp drive paradigm is that we have further reduced the energy requirement to the total mass energy contained in a typical gas giant--the planet Jupiter, for example
