ack Kasher, a retired physics professor at the University of Nebraska, said that he "wouldn't be surprised" if NASA latches on to Pares' experiment.

Good useful information in that Esquire article about Science

I find it a little interesting how many things that were for a very long time very very strictly science fiction became possible in 2014 albeit some of them aren't feasible to actually do but for the first time there is solid scientific basis. (Warp drives being one of them).

 

[Mynight]

Hmm seems legit.

 

[SlyReaper]

Yeah, I'm calling shenanigans until there's an iota of concrete information available.

Its a variant of the alcubierre drive concept I believe.

Not an engineer.

Ah, but can he build two and bolt them onto an old ICBM?

Whenever there's a story about an American inventing something in his garage(all Americans think garages possess magical powers) it's typically quite safe to file it - in the bin.

Indeed.

The early Sci-Fi concept of "Warp drive" basically inspired this sort of thing

got my laser pointer pointed at my "Faraday cage" right now i'm bending, come on warp?! hmmm nope just sitting here bending again.

 

[Christmas themed thank]

But could he do it on a cold, rainy night in Stoke?

 

[Edward78]

Oh man, to travel space in a safe warp capable ship, man. That would be awesome & that looks more like the ST Deflector dish...

This is great because I gorram love Star Wars!

Well get your own thread, this is about a Star Trek warp drive

Straight from Reddit.... and as pointed out there is he is the leader of the college UFO loony tin foil hat society and all the professors and so called experts that are validating his work are also cut from the same cloth.
