I would say some use electromagnetic properties, others Solar Waves, Particle Wave travel.

Some use mercury through the ship the rising and the cooling temperature around the ship propels it.

Others could use Star Magnets that project the drive through alignment with a star.

Some could use Crystals through malignant counter tension which changes the manuevering of a the craft.

Some others Using A steam engine type of propulsion.

Some propell the craft through mind projection, others could be hooked up into some type of electrode scanner picking up electrical signals from the brain. Some could use thermol dynamics, creating a wave of energy to be dispersed through the rising and cooling of the energy body.

Some could use a chemical compound that creates bursts of energy on the outside hull of the deck to propell it through space.

Some could just travel through the metamorphisis of molecules breaking down and re-alinging with another frequency band.

Others could change the internal drive of the field of energy around the craft too erupt fuel lines to bounce off of.

Ohh and a Laser propulsion system that locks on to matter through a reverse polarity, instead of it using the field of electromagnetics it just uses the field of gravity to pull itself in through a lazers beam.

The other thing i think of is energy equalling mass and needing an infinite amout of energy to travel at the speed of light then if using light as your propulsion the mass of your craft could be whatever you want ????

Some type of space warp via an artificial gravitational field seems like the best bet. Use the field to "compress" a portion of space in front of the ship, reducing the actual inline distance needed to travel across that space by orders of magnitude. Then do it repetitively at a frequency of 2GHz, until you reach the stars.

Personally - I don't buy the infinite mass at light speed argument.

An interesting theory I heard from Jana Levin the astrophysicist (i think) was that we may be able to shave time of long space journeys by not following the curvature of space from Point-A to Point-B. Almost like a dimensional slip I guess as it's a direction we can't find in regular 360 degree movement.

This wouldn't help so much traveling shorter distances but would be advantageous on big journeys.

Also travel would be free of debris like space dust, asteroids etc in this dimensional subspace so travel would be much safer... in theory. Also it's possible that there won't be the same physical limitations placed upon us as we see in regular space-time.Who knows ehh.

It seems a lot less destructive than warping space. The thought of that just scares me!

One of the hottest quantum physics trends today is Super String Theory. This Theory relies on the existence of more spatial dimensions than we, with our scientific technologies, can monitor. Perhaps the governments of the world conceal the means to monitor them, perhaps not, all I know is that humans, with our 5 physical senses can only perceive the world in three spatial dimensions. Time is one that afflicts us all witch makes a 4th spatial dimension. Super String theory introduces 6 other dimensions including Super Gravityand the dimension which light exist in, hypothesized to be immune of time, are two of the 6, and the other 4, well look it up yourself.
The idea that aliens are hyper dimensional means that the dimensions that we experience, and the dimensions whose phsyical laws we derive our physics from, don't necessarily apply to the spatial dimensions other than the ones we 'sense'.
Suppose an intelligent race of beings resides in the dimension of light. If they're capable of moving within their dimension it would mean that they're able to move above the speed of light. Einstein hypothesized, never proved, that there should be a speed beyond the speed of light where time stops relative to the other spatial dimensions. Now suppose these beings from the Light Dimension wished to move from the alpha centuri galaxy to the milky way. In their dimension the time that we feel doesn't affect them, making their journey, in their light spatial dimension almost instantaneous.
After all there is light in every quadrent of our universe, except maybe within black holes. Some of it is just old, and relative to us, very fast.
