Fantasia in Warp Drive - Part II: Plausible Steps to Make A Workable Warp Drive Machine, Someday in the Near Future: Discussion and Remark

Abstract

There is a persistence interest among physicists, to investigate on possibility of FTL (faster than light) travels, even if those fields related to FTL are most likely categorized to fringe research. Especially after Alcubierre introduces a new notion called “warp drive” solution to FTL problem. For these writers, it is interesting because (one of us :) Smarandache’s hypothesis says that there is no speed barrier of anything; by generalizing implications of EPR paradox, which is known in most QM experiments. But the question remains unsolved: how to make it possible? This short article reviews several progress in such a FTL drive, while it does not necessarily mean that we agree with Alcubierre nor GTR-based approaches. We will argue in terms of possible realization of trajectory in complex plane (i.e. Argand plane.)
