>>21353950I understand it perfectly well: negative mass could travel faster than the speed of light, but by the heisenberg uncertainty principle you can only have negative mass on the scale of subatomic vibrations, not on the scale of a human body.
>There's multiple competing theories for how we will propel ourselvesThere is no disagreement or ambiguity on how rockets propel themselves. They eject mass. A warpdrive is not a method propulsion or steering, its a way to accelerate past the speed of light
You're confusing the engine with the steering wheel.
Any middle schooler can learn about the rocket equation and how propulsion works, its not complicated.
Think about it like this: if you were stuck in the middle of a frozen lake, how would you get out?
You would throw your shoe
