Limits & Risks
Scope: This site presents planning tools and hypotheses. It does not claim a proven, energy-realizable macroscopic warp tunnel today.
Energy & Stress–Energy
- Feasible macroscopic field configurations remain unproven; positive‑energy proposals are under theoretical study.
- Engineering questions: generation, containment, radiators, materials, and control surfaces.
Horizons, Causality & Global Structure
- Effective superluminal motion can raise causality concerns depending on the metric and global topology.
- Reachability in expanding space is treated with clear math (compare
v_rec = H0·D0 to v_eff), but causal structure depends on the full solution.
Stability & Quantum Inequalities
- Stability under perturbations is an open problem.
- Quantum inequality bounds may constrain energy densities and durations.
Environment & Shielding
- Dust/plasma interaction, radiation, charging, and EMI require robust mitigation (e.g., Arrow Shield concepts).
- Operational safety requires sensing, range-gated actuation, and fail‑safes.
Ethics & Test Pathway
- Testing should begin in small, sealed environments; publish data for open verification.
- International collaboration encouraged; comply with safety standards and export controls.
What Is Claimed Here
- Transparent planning math for expansion: reachability, time‑on‑target, and speed requirements.
- CST timing + circle‑space routing as a navigation framework.
- Reproducible inputs/outputs (JSON) for peer review.
