Tom S say: Scientists never said going faster than sound was impossible. Many things in nature and man made, go faster than sound even bullets from high powered rifles. Relative mass increase with speed is confirmed in particle accelerators, so it is an observed fact. You are misinformed and under-educated.

Enough Trolls say: Simple demonstrated facts.
The more a thing with mass is accelerated the more it resists acceleration
The more a thing is accelerated the greater the time dilation.
Facts!

Fawghawn L Hawn say: alcubierre is a paisan who disagrees with that,
the problem of infinite mass accretion as one approaches C
perhaps can be negated or minimized when basic particle research identifies every property,or force seen present everywhere in the universe
the penultimate advance in unified theory that ties strong and weak nuclear and magnetic force antiparticles,acceleration,inertia,photo... electrons,electricity,how their essence is expressed differently.
solution to this? send alcubierre and 6 other eggheads along with a check for a hundred mil over to NASA labs
some of this may already be underway & we are unaware of it

Newdivide1701 say: Actually some at NASA are developing warp drive based off of Miguel Alcubierre's warp drive theory, and are confident we will have warp drive by the end of this century.
But many cannot get past the fact that you cannot travel faster than light because of time dilation, mass increase and so forth even though "warp speed" is a misconception.
Even though it can cover a hundred times the distance light can in the same amount of time, in reality the ship doesn't move an inch.
Warp drive work by -- according to Dr. Laurence Krouse, theoretical physicist and author of The Science of Star Trek -- says the ship doesn't move through space at faster than light speeds, rather space in front of the ship collapses and the space behind the ship expands.
