    I'm not sure that I have much in the way of criticism, but I wanted to express my appreciation for this article. I'm a fan of any article that covers both sides of a topic (especially a topic as debatable as the reality of warp drive) and leaves the reader with the option to still make up their own mind.

    While you clearly are excited about the possibility of this technology (as am I) you did a great job of highlighting the problems with the current design and theories, while pointing out where hope lies ahead. The link at the bottom was a nice touch as well.

    Overall, I enjoyed the article and that you left people like me with the hope of still seeing a warp drive in my lifetime. Even if today's discovery is only the first step, it's an important step, and you expressed that well. Good job and well written!

    This was a great article, and you did a great job articulating some of the science behind the design. The original article also mentioned other blocking issues surrounding the fold of space-time, but the fact that the negative energy may not even exist trumps both of those concerns. Well done!

    This warp Drive will be the perfect weapon, as it is likely that it will destroy everything that comes in his path of travel. http://www.universetoday.com/93882/w...#ixzz34HJTDkWl

    This sounds like my freeway commute home from work... just replace "warp drive" with "average driver". BAM.

    That's assuming you can get up to speed. THere's also concerns quantum effects will make a bubble at superluminal speeds unstable (causing it's collapse) and that hawking radiation will be generated and bake the craft generating the field.

    Just a side note: Has the experimental proof of gravity come up with any thing?

    Long standing debate as to whether speed of light effects "speed of gravity" (or vice versa). If gravity can be shown to exceed speed of light than at least that hurdle is out of the way. It also opens up several different FTL possiblities...

    On your article I had read and appreciated the piece and never even thought that it was a first time writers work. You put out very professional work, and I hope you continue to do so in the future.
