How To Build A Warp Drive Using Metamaterials

Is the title your version of "Kids! Don't Try This at Home!"?

I don't understand pretty much any of what the guy is talking about in the paper they're referencing, but I get the impression that the more correct headline would be something like 'How building a model of a warp drive using metamaterials (where the metamaterials are what the simulated warp bubble travels through at a quarter C as opposed to the 1 C actual light travels through them) should be theoretically possible'.

So I'm guess James is not advocating the breathless blog headline.

Like I said tho', I wouldn't trust me on that, I really don't know what I'm talking about here :)

I must be tired; the first time I read the title I saw "How To Build A Warp Drive Using Metamucils".

-- Steve's restraining a lot of bad jokes regarding physics fundamentals right now. (Not entirely successfully, apparently.)

Flush that impulse right out of your system!

Oh argh my eyes: I scrolled down to the comments section. Not recommended for the faint-of-heart.
