>The concept of the Alcubierre warp bubble makes things interesting. If you surrounded the local Euclidean space your ship occupies with a warp bubble, and then push the warp bubble instead of the ship itself, Einsten’s equation is sidestepped. It’s still valid inside the warp bubble, but the bubble itself can theoretically move faster than light without breaking the laws of physics to do it.

This would explain the oft observed UFO's that move so fast as to defy physics, darting away at barely observable speeds. Within conventional physics no one could survive acceleration like that. What this postulates, however, is the crew of such a craft would not even notice the acceleration as the movement of the ship encased in such a "bubble" would actually be projecting itself ahead in time, and by doing so, in space.

I've always wondered how one could survive thousands of G's and now we know they don't. Kind of like the supersonic torpedoes that shoot a rocket ahead to form a bubble that the torpedo kind of "falls into". This is going to take some getting used to. Is it even physics anymore?
