“Gentlemen and ladies, … may the wind be at our backs. Stations please!”
I’m still having fun with Dr. Jack Sarfatti. I’m a science fiction writer that believes in warp drives and anti-gravity technology, and I think Jack’s got the goods. In fact Jack’s got a plan for taking us to the stars — eat your heart out Jeff and Elon.

Jack’s plan is known as a SO(2,4) G* >> G gauge gravity warp drive.
“Instead of pushing a ship through space with rockets, you warp space itself around the ship so the ship barely moves while the space around it does the traveling. This is the famous “warp bubble” idea from physicist Miguel Alcubierre in the 1990s, but the difference is, I have a version that actually works with ordinary positive energy and near-future technology.” Jack tells me.
Let me simplify:
Normal gravity (Einstein’s general relativity) is “stiff” — it takes enormous energy (like the mass of Jupiter converted to energy) to bend space enough for a…
