Tractor beams, pressor beams, and stressor beams within the context of general relativity
Matt Visser, Jessica Santiago, Sebastian Schuster
Both traversable wormholes and warp drives, concepts originally developed within the context of science fiction, have now (for some 30 odd years) been studied, debated, and careful…
Tractor beams, pressor beams, and stressor beams in general relativity
Jessica Santiago, Sebastian Schuster, Matt Visser
The metrics of general relativity generally fall into two categories: Those which are solutions of the Einstein equations for a given source energy-momentum tensor, and the "revers…
Generic warp drives violate the null energy condition
Jessica Santiago, Sebastian Schuster, Matt Visser
Three very recent articles have claimed that it is possible to, at least in theory, either set up positive energy warp drives satisfying the weak energy condition (WEC), or at the…
