Holy Frijoles -- They're Actually Working On Warp Drive

[filkertom]

No, really. Coolest comment for me:

... It isn't just numbers on a whiteboard or in a computer model - practical experiments are being planned by the scientists involved in the new research to see if warp bubbles can be created on a microscopic level using lasers. The fact that such experiments can even be designed, let alone whether or not they succeed, is a giant leap for mankind....

Cue "Uplift" and "Fire In The Sky".

Yes...

I'm excited too.

I just hope they don't accidentally
crack the planet's crust or chuck
a space station halfway across the
galaxy, two spectacular cockups in
the history of stardrive technology
from my main science fiction setting.
Which were inspired by my science
reading.
