Linked via "exotic energy density"
Research inspired by the Alcubierre metrics focuses on contracting space ahead of a spacecraft and expanding it behind. While direct faster-than-light travel remains theoretical, the principles are being adapted for sub-light, highly efficient maneuvering drives.
The required exotic energy density ($\rho_{exotic}$) to maintain a stable warp bubble is governed by the relationship:
