Casimir energy and the possibility of higher dimensional manipulation Proposal that a higher dimension could be manipulated using Standard Model fields at the LHC. Calculation of energy requirements and suggestion that this is effectively a technological mechanism that could be used to 'tune' the local Dark Energy density. |
| Submit : (Richard Obousy and Aram Saharian, Submitted June,2009) |
|
Exotic solutions in General Relativity: Traversable wormholes and “warp drive” spacetimes A complete and in depth review of the numerous exotic solutions to the Einstein field equation which allow for superliminal travel. |
| Submit : (Francisco S. N. Lobo, Submitted October,2007) |
|
Warp drive with zero expansion Demonstration that one does not need an asymmetric contraction/expansion at the front/aft of a spacecraft to generate a warp drive, but that a simpler contraction only warp drive is possible with a more sophisticated choice of spacetime metric. |
| Submit : (J. Natario, Submitted March,2002) |
|
The unphysical nature of “Warp Drive” Demonstration that a warp bubble thickness is restricted to a few Planck lengths, and that the energy density required to maintain such a bubble is unattainable. |
| Submit : (Michael J. Pfenning and L. H. Ford, Submitted March,2001) |
|
Superluminal censorship Arguement that 'effective' superluminal travel is always associated with violations of the null energy condition. |
| Submit : (M. Visser, B. Bassett and S. Liberati, Submitted December,1999) |
|
Null geodesics in the Alcubierre warp drive spacetime: the view from the Numerical calculations illustrating the angular deflection and the red-shifting of photons travelling through the warp-bubble. |
| Submit : (C. Clark, W. A. Hiscock and S. L. Larson, Submitted July,1999) |
|
Superluminal travel requires negative energy density Proof that superluminal travel requires a violation of the weak energy condition. |
| Submit : (K. Olum, Submitted September,1998) |
|
Quantum effects in the Alcubierre warp drive spacetime Demonstration that quantum effects render a warp drive implausible due a local energy density that approaches infinity. |
| Submit : (William A. Hiscock, Submitted October,1997) |
|
A Superluminal Subway: The Krasnikov Tube One of the criticisms of the Alcubierre paper relates to the fact that the spacecraft at the bubble center is causally disconnected from the bubble. This implies that could not be created on demand, or controlled. This paper discusses a novel spacetime metric is discussed which overcomes this issue. |
| Submit : (Allen E. Everett and Thomas A. Roman, Submitted February,1997) |
|
The warp drive: hyperfast travel within general relativity One of the first papers that demonstrated that, within the framework of General Relativity, a modification of spacetime would be possible that would allow a spacecraft to travel at arbitrarily high speeds. |
| Submit : (Miguel Alcubierre, Submitted April,1994) |
