Are Warp Drives Possible? (feat Dr. Miguel Alcubierre)

I speak with the father of the warp drive -- Dr. Miguel Alcubierre -- about new studies and theories on the creation of true warp drive technologies.

Thanks for watching, and a *THANK YOU to Dr. Alcubierre for his time and to his son Raul for setting this up!*

"(feat Dr. Miguel Alcubierre!)"

That has got to be the biggest flex ever!

Met Alcubierre a couple of years ago at a conference. He is not only a renowned physicist, he is also a true space nerd!

[AlkisGD]

14:22 — One of the things I love about science: "It also means that all my talks are wrong, " he says with a smile on his face. Love it!

[llawliet]

No way did you get Miguel Alcubierre on there! Wow, incredible

[AlindBack]

So, about 30 years ago warp was impossible. Now it's just ridiculously difficult. I'd say that's an infinite amount of progress in just 30 years.

Kyle: I’m not a supervillain!

Also Kyle: We need to harness the power of dark energy!

[dallatorretdu]

We need to make sure that future humanity will say “ENGAGE” when using the warp bubble

[illusivec]

I don't know why but I always thought Alcubierre was an Einstein era physicist. Kinda shocking the guy's not only alive, he's not that old either.

“How long could it really take 4.3 light years for a ship like this y’know?”
*69’420 years later*
“Nice”

[Hanmacx]

I like in Futurama:
"The Engine doesn't move the Ship,
But moves the Space around it"

[mikotagayuna]

So we need large masses to make warp drives work?

Here in my couch, I'm contributing to this worthy scientific endeavor one Dorito at a time.

Miguel actually studied at my high school and is a family friend. Love to see him here! He's so so great, and a jewel of mexican physics

[memegoddave]

I've been positively glued to my pc-screen while listening to Dr. Alcubierre. How enthusiasticly he talks about this fantastical idea that is so far away in the future that even our grandchildren possibly will never witness this technology is simply intoxicating. Godspeed doctor, you, Kyle and your talk absolutely made my day.

[martinlastname]

I always watch these videos expecting a different answer. It’s like when I go to the fridge knowing what’s inside and stare with a blank face hoping for a different result.

[cnaisbitt]

Kyle wearing ALL black even down to the shoes, makes me feel like he's wearing the void instead of being inside of it. How times have changed.

[danilooliveira]

Dr. Alcubierre is actually a lot younger than I thought. I've been hearing about the Alcubierre drive since I was a kid, so it never downs on me that it was proposed just 27 years ago, most of the theories we hear about are from the 60's or 70's and named after people that are already dead. its a weird feeling to think the idea is so young.

[louisvisagie]

Great to see a famous physicist in a science education interview. If you can get other scientists to interview that would be awesome.

[AllieGee]

My jaw literally dropped TO THE FLOOR when I read that you would be talking “live” with Professor Alcubierre... AND OMG was this amazing.

I so so so SO wish to see warp drive become a reality within our lifetimes.

The first person in command of such a spacecraft better say “Hit It!”, “Punch it!” Or “Engage!” 😁

In my writings, the work around to superluminal question is "We salvaged it off of an alien wreck and reverse engineered it, we don't know how it works, only that it does"
