To create a warp would take as much energy as traveling at the speed of light .
Near infinite .
And could not be created within a "triangle" no matter the color .
E=MC^2

Using the modern laws of Physics and materials used in energy that we know of yes you are right , but things change everyday.

If you could reduce an object's mass to zero, light speed would be possible. If you could make an object have negative mass, you could go faster than light.
Even the laws of physics have loopholes.

I guess it's possible in one's imagination .
Not so much in the real world .

But for a warp drive to generate enough negative energy, you would need a lot of matter. Alcubierre estimated that a warp drive with a 100-meter bubble would require the mass of the entire visible universe.
In 1999, physicist Chris Van Den Broeck showed that expanding the volume inside the bubble but keeping the surface area constant would reduce the energy requirements significantly, to just about the mass of the sun. A significant improvement, but still far beyond all practical possibilities.
I've talked to some of the scientists who are most known for promoting
the Alcubierre drive.
They always hand wave about the negative mass, like they are talking about Jesus.
I also talked to one of the scientists who works at LIGO, the gravity wave observatory.
He concurred with my observation, that LIGO would almost certainly 'go crazy' if
any such ships were close to Earth.
