The Well of Souls is op'ed and all the devils are... being posted about, here.
Our first bit of silly comes from Göttingen where Dr Lentz is talking "solitons". Apparently with conventional sources of energy (as in: not Alcubierre's negative mass) we can create a Warp Bubble, keeping the ship aging in normal time as it carries on to Alpha Centauri. The "twin paradox" is no longer in place. The press-release is less clear about the causality paradox. And the conventional mass we need to burn is a red dwarf star hundreds of times Jupiter mass. Oooookay then. UPDATE 3/31: Martire-Bobrick.
Then there is this from Portugal: traversible wormholes. They are not very big wormholes... yet. The Portuguese think they can use them to deliver FTL messages. Also (I'd add) one might use such to drain heat from a ship toward, well, nowhere and thereby create a cloaking-device. But again I ask - what about causality.
I don't wish to waste more time on all this than I have to, but maybe some science fiction authors might get a kick out of it, if they are not very good authors.
NAH IT'S SHITE 1/16/22: Give it up, dude.
