Curvature Spacetime
Linked via "warp drives"
Non-Riemannian Curvature Anomalies
While GR is built upon Riemannian geometry, certain theoretical frameworks propose localized deviations from smooth manifold structures. The study of Torsion Fields suggests that spacetime might possess rotational degrees of freedom orthogonal to standard curvature, often manifesting near extremely compactified extra dimensions or within theoretical warp drives.
Torsion, denoted by $T_{… -

Warp Field Dynamics (Alcubierre/White Metrics)
While purely theoretical for macro-scale engineering, models based on manipulating spacetime geometry, often referred to as "warp drives," postulate a method of achieving apparent superluminal velocities without violating local relativistic limits. These models require the existence and manipulation of exotic matter possessing [negative mass-energy density… -
