Edit war

There is repeated adding by Vilnius of a wrong information. He did not even read the article. No warp bubble was ever created on Earth. That was a numerical computation where the authors claimed to identify an Alcubierre shape. That is all.--Pra1998 (talk) 18:01, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This situation has been created because meniton of Harold White's work has been repeatedly removed. The scientific community might not be paying him much attention, but everybody else is. If we don't write something balanced in the article, this is going to continue to happen. People will add something after swallowing the hype whole and finding nothing in the article already.

Names

Natario drive / Natario warp drive // Lentz drive / Lentz warp drive // Alcubierre-Natario drive / Alcubierre-Natario warp drive seem to be making the rounds. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 16:21, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Should Harold White claims be treated as WP:Fringe?

I am not an expert, but Harold White's claims about creating actual Alcubierre drives appear far outside the mainstream to me. I think his theories might need to be covered as Fringe theories here and on his article. Could any experts weigh in? StereoFolic (talk) 02:46, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article is hilarious XD

It even invokes Star Trek!

I hope I will still be alive to see the memes when they debunk this nonsense. 168.0.18.48 (talk) 02:25, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
