Alcubierre Drive Speculation

No.11897778 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Let's say a massive ancient ship has created an Alcubierre drive wake leading from somewhere reasonably near Earth to a distant point in space. What would it be like?


>Is it a one way trip?

>Can you get from point B to point A or does that require a separate 'highway' ?

>Can you decelerate or turn your ship around once you've started the trip?

>Would ship combat or communication be possible inside?

>What sorts of visuals would you see if you were looking out from the inside of the altered spacetime? Would it be distorted, like the edges of a black hole? Would the outside appear slowed/frozen in time or accelerated? Could you interact with it in any way?

>What happens if asteroids drift into it?
