1994 theoretical solution by Miguel Alcubierre describing a spacetime “bubble” that contracts in front and expands behind, allowing FTL effective travel without locally exceeding c. Closely related to Hal Puthoff’s Metric Engineering framework.
PURSUE Release 06 record DOW-UAP-D138 (2010), one of the DIRDs, works Alcubierre’s metric through an example in which the bubble’s speed bound comes out slower than a garden snail’s crawl, then proposes that manipulating the radius of an extra dimension could cut the energy requirement by a factor of 10 to the 8, still far beyond what is available in the foreseeable future.
