|    Mysterious New Warp Drive Patent Surface    |
|    02 Mar 21 09:29:36    |
      "In April of 2020, two engineers from Chicago, Jessica Gallanis and Eytan        Halm Suchard published a patent application for a drive using the updated        Harold White designs. A device aptly named the Alcubierre-White Warp        Drive. Barely a month into the COVID 19 shutdown, the patent’s publication        seemed to sneak under the radar, with a lone report by Read Multiplex in        December of 2020 (one that sits behind a paywall).              In the summary portion of the patent, Gallanis and Suchard explain how “the        invention uses two Alcubierre gravitational walls to achieve a warp drive        effect as means of propulsion while surrounding or enclosing a cavity or        space where passengers can travel.”               This design is consistent with Alcubierre, who’s solution they point out        “suggested a method for changing the metric of space-time and creating a        space-time warp bubble such that while from outside the bubble, the bubble        can advance in superluminal speed, from within the bubble the speed is        much lower than the speed of light.”              The patent also notes the work of Froning, who they say observed how, “if        sufficient warping is achieved, ship speed is slower than light speed within        the region that surrounds it-even if it is moving faster-than-light with       respect        to Earth.”              See:              https://thedebrief.org/mysterious-new-warp-drive-patent-surfaces-online/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
