https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive
The Alcubierre metric defines the warp-drive spacetime. It is a Lorentzian manifold that, if interpreted in the context of general relativity, allows a warp bubble to appear in previously flat spacetime and move away at effectively faster-than-light speed. The interior of the bubble is an inertial reference frame and inhabitants experience no

Alcubierre's warp drive would use this negative energy to create the spacetime bubble. But for a warp drive to generate enough negative energy, you would need a lot of matter.

The Alcubierre warp drive allows a spaceship to travel at an arbitrarily large global velocity by deforming the spacetime in a bubble around the spaceship. Little is known about the interactions between massive particles and the Alcubierre warp drive, or the effects of an accelerating or decelerating warp bubble. We examine geodesics representative of the paths of null and massive particles

Solely the warp bubble and the warp fluid inside are vital. The researchers simulated the breakdown of the warp bubble. They discovered that the collapse generated gravitational waves with traits completely different from these generated by mergers.

The Alcubierre metric is a spacetime geometry where a massive particle inside a spacetime distortion, called warp bubble, is able to travel at velocities arbitrarily higher than the velocity of light, a feature known as the warp drive.

The Alcubierre metric for a constant velocity warp ship would not generate gravitational waves. In addition, far away from the warp bubble, the spacetime is exactly Minkowskian - that is, it is actually flat, not just asymptotically flat. The warp bubble spacetime is therefore undetectable by its gravitational effects as it has no

The core of Pieri's proposal lies in the application of Miguel Alcubierre's work in 1994. Alcubierre's warp model, often discussed in the context of faster-than-light travel, involves creating a bubble in spacetime that contracts space in front and expands it behind, effectively allowing a spacecraft to travel faster than light without
