Boris Volfson, of Huntington, is the proud holder of patent 6,960,975, which is for a a space vehicle propelled by a superconducting shield that alters the curvature of space-time outside the craft in a way that counteracts gravity.
The interesting thing about the invention is that it defies the laws of physics and is put in the same league as a perpetual motion machine.
Abstract
A space vehicle propelled by the pressure of inflationary vacuum state is provided comprising a hollow superconductive shield, an inner shield, a power source, a support structure, upper and lower means for generating an electromagnetic field, and a flux modulation controller. A cooled hollow superconductive shield is energized by an electromagnetic field resulting in the quantized vortices of lattice ions projecting a gravitomagnetic field that forms a spacetime curvature anomaly outside the space vehicle. The spacetime curvature imbalance, the spacetime curvature being the same as gravity, provides for the space vehicle's propulsion. The space vehicle, surrounded by the spacetime anomaly, may move at a speed approaching the light-speed characteristic for the modified locale.

Short. To the point. But somewhat lacking in details . . .
Firstly the warp thread started as an exhibition of cosmology and physics theroetical work. however fanciful, it had bones in the context it was offered in.
this patent contains no mechanism. no detailed plans. no machine no power source. That is what a patent is suposed to be and everything is is supposed to have; it lacks. it contains no real cosmology or physics either even theoretical.
Not true. firstly the warp space metric is acknowldeged as valid mathematically.
extraordinarily difficult to achieve.
In that thread i successfully adressed your every objection with either cites or logic. that you ignored information counter to your view point does not in any way render the two topics factual foundations similar in quality
I'll give you an example: negative energy; your position; it (negative energy) was fantasy; my response was to show you cites that prove that you were wrong and that science takes the concept of negative energy seriously. articles on casimir plates, squeezed light, quantum theory. your response after seeing that evidence? "there is no serious scientist who blah blah blah!
you make a pronouncement, ignore any evidence that contradicts your position and then repeat your opinion. Then you have the gall to suggest my thread topic and this "inventor's" gibberish are equivelent? :P
Besides that patent a*shole is doing the equivelent of domain squatting. that patent is meant to obligate anyone who actually produces a warp drive to pay that sh*t head royalties. He is a damned intellectual parasite.
