Transcript excerpt

This has always been the problem. If you uh are familiar with this field, you may have heard of a mathematician named Miguel Alcoier whose famous equations in the early 1990s talked about how to go and create warp drive. And you literally can do this. You can warp spaceime. The space-time fabric, which is a fabric. It's there. It's not just space and it's not just time. and you can create a kind of space-time bubble as it were within which you and your craft are not violating the laws of physics but you're warping space in front of you and behind you and you're essentially doing a loophole around that. So that's a brilliant thing. But the problem with applying this has always been the amount of energy required to warp spaceime has always been considered, you know, ridiculously and out of out of our capabilities. What Sarapati talked about here is the meta materials that the to the stars academy and basically how put off's company earth techch have had access to recently how put off has talked about this just last summer at a conference and we watched that or we did we did we watched the whole thing or did we read the transcript? I can't remember. No, we watched the whole thing. Yeah. Right. We wash it and and think
