I see you textbook example and understand what you (or rather it) is trying to say. Generally speaking your are talking about an opposing force from the universe we are in. Say an energyflux if you will and that our solarsystem is creating a gasbarrier by the suns outward energy that leaks back into our system as a feedback loop at the edges of our solarsystem. It indeed is an interesting phenomena but it also creates some other knowledge. e.g.; the force from the outside seems as a threat, and it certainly would be if it would overhwelm the suns opposing force, but if the outside force would not exist the forced loopback into the sun would not exist and thus shorten the lifespan of our solarsystem as energy would be wasting away.

On the flipside, you could catch a wave on the edge of the solarsystem into a reverse side of the opposing outspacewave to utilise a near speed of light craft for almost zero energy. But i guess humanity is not ready for that yet.

the effect of the waves cresting to the centre sets up a legrange point in space
where atoms are attacted
initially
the centre is the only point



but as its mass increases due to the nateral depression created the atoms "fall" together
and mass that is in the area form into a disc and at these seconardy legrange points allow for planets to form

If you take your last picture and look at L1 we can see that is the center of impact between te two forces of the suns compressed energy and the outer energy and L2 which is the access of energy redirected. Using the redirected force one could create a solarsail to move in the path from L1 to L2 using the outer lane that the waves follow (also, see illustration for that) and leave our solarsystem using only the force of the waves and still managing to travel near speed of light.

Unfortunatly I am short on time. Also, I do believe suchscience is beyond most of ATS here, many just want to talk about greys and sightings. Bit o a shame I suppose.

Always happy to help.

I am glad you used the term warp first introduced in the Star Trek sci-fi series which I am a huge fan of.
The idea discussed here really doesn't seem that it would be defying the physical laws as we know them. Since we see already a similar behavior in the properties of the phenomenon of cavitation, especially when gas masses and liquid masses interact with each other, I could see your idea as an expansion of the phenomenon of super cavitation in to the realm of high energy physics and behavior of ultra hot gas (plasma) in the interstellar medium. It doesn't look like physical laws would break, on the contrary more of their properties could be explored even further. It might simply be physics but not as we know it, yet... One good example of similar situation of unexpected behavior of existing laws is of course the nano-technology research.

It could be the case that we already reside and move inside a gaseous/magnetic envelope that we realize as the heliosphere that is RESPONSIBLE for the kinetic behavior of our solar system as a unit. It seems like a gentle force (voyager missions did not receive much damage after crossing its different outer layers) that at the same time has tremendous strength. The strength to propel our entire solar system.

We really have no knowledge of how fast our system and we inside it are traveling in to space, so it could very well be the case that we are in a continuous warp. Along with the rest of the other interstellar entities that we would wish to approach, of course..and we can't because they seem to travel at relative speeds..

What would happen if we used the properties of our locality and created a warp envelope (artificial heliosphere) inside the supposed warp envelope that we travel through the Cosmos? If this works, then we have solved the problem of super fast linear travel. Well, at least as far as FTL speeds go.. I think. but even then, everything is relative. Also maybe there are no other dimensions, but levels of compression of time and space as entities. Permanent ones, stable, fluctuating, decaying or increasing. Are there thresholds too?

We won't know until we try.
