EDIT: The following comment was enhanced (gloriously so, actually) by ChatGPT4: As someone with a background in both physics and psychology, I appreciate your skepticism. However, it's crucial to recognize that human knowledge and imagination are often the limiting factors in our understanding of the universe. The Alcubierre Warp Drive, for example, is a theoretically plausible solution to surmounting intergalactic distances in normal lifetimes, although it remains practically impossible for now: https://phys.org/news/2017-01-alcubierre-warp.html. A recent paper proposes an update using…

I presently have no time to get into GR, but surely wish I did. Here instead of comment I offer two papers: Erik Lentz (underlying the work in the press release here): https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.07125.pdf And similar seeming work by another group at something called the “advanced propulsion lab” (who are they?) https://arxiv.org/pdf/2102.06824.pdf It’s interesting that they both claim positive energy solutions that, eh hem, do the trick.
