I think that a more traditional "Roddenberry" Warp Drive would work better over a "Alcuberrie" Warp Drive. Of course a "Roddenberry" Warp Drive would have some serious modifications from the one in Trek. A "Alcuberrie" Warp Drive requires so many "exotic" matireals to work that I think the matireals would be incredibly hard to aqquire or synthesize. While a Roddenberry Warp Drive also would have many exotic matireals, the physics might be easier. It's easy to get the idea of how the Warp Drive in Star Trek works. For example, a simple piece of paper could represent the "Subspace Field", which should really be called the "Compressed Transdimensional Subuniversal Stress Field (CTSSF). The 2-D paper moves through the 3-D outsude universe (if you exclude time as a dimension). The "Subspace Layers" would really be the missing seven dimensions. Which would work better, if you even believe in FTL travel?

Zig -
I have no clue what you are talking about, but I can help you in at least one area..
This is how you spell matireals: M-A-T-E-R-I-A-L-S. That's right. Materials. Not matireals.

True, I believe in Ftl travel, but which of those ideas sounds more in support of string theory? Whichever one does in the one I'd vote for.

String Theory supports the Roddenberry Star Trek like Warp Drive. And I know, I have to stop useing big words like that.

It looks like I need to watch more Star Trek :P.
