Let's imagine that we get that.

What is the nature of the warp bubble itself?

Could we theoretically enter this and not be squished or crushed or turn into information?

That would be unpleasant.

Yeah, it sounds very unpleasant.

And so there's a way of sort of creating this around you in theory.

Then how do you, once you've created the bubble though, how do you go about collapsing space in time so that you can move through space?

Okay.

And so how long would it take then if we managed to create this warp bubble?

How long would it take to get to Proxima Centauri B?

I'd imagine it is currently very difficult to research anything that travels faster than the speed of light.

Okay, so we're talking about theoretical physics in many respects, but at the same time, theoretical physics, like Einstein proposed nearly 100 years ago, gave us black holes, you know, the ideas behind black holes.

And so if we think about that, and then we think about, well, you know, if we built the technology,

some other civilizations may have built the technology before us.

Is it possible to, if someone's snapping space out there, is there any chance we might be able to see it on our telescopes?

And the answer is...

You're deep in there, Katie.

You're deep in there.

In fairness, you have to pick a certain size.

Why not pay homage?
