> Alcubierre drive maybe?

this is old physics, just another solution of the GR



Yes and no. Yes, warp drives are “just another solution” to the Einstein field equations.

No, saying “just” in that way is like saying any given computer program is “just” another solution to the Church-Turing thesis.

Alcubierre introduced a novel and interesting category of solutions that people hadn’t thought of before.
