Matching the Alcubierre and Minkowski spacetimes
Osvaldo L. Santos-Pereira, Everton M. C. Abreu, Marcelo B. Ribeiro
This work analyzes the Darmois junction conditions matching an interior Alcubierre warp drive spacetime to an exterior Minkowski geometry. The joining hypersurface requires that th…
Shift vector sign reversal in the Alcubierre warp drive spacetime geometry and nonlinear Burgers-type dynamics
Osvaldo L. Santos-Pereira, Everton M. C. Abreu, Marcelo B. Ribeiro
This work investigates a sign reversal of the shift vector in the Alcubierre Warp Drive geometry and its effect on the nonlinear reduced structure of the Einstein equations. Previo…
The Warp Drive: Superluminal Travel within General Relativity
Osvaldo L. Santos-Pereira
In 1994, Miguel Alcubierre proposed that the well-known special relativistic limitation that particles cannot travel with velocities higher than light speed can be bypassed when su…
