Great.  Now lets see them demonstrate a prototype.  Maybe then,
someone might take it seriously.

The device you are referring to is now called the "Alcubierre Drive,"
after the Mexican theoretical physicist who first outlined its
properties, Dr. Miguel Alcubierre. See:http://lifeboat.com/ex/bios.miguel.alcubierre

A drive that apparently has some pretty hefty energy requirements:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive#Energy_requirement

from the Alcubierre link:

: Miguel's solitary wave solutions of the Einstein
: field equations offer the unexpected possibility
: that general relativity may prove consistent with
: the experimentally verified non-locality of quantum
: mechanics. This assuages the fear that quantum
: non-locality would ultimately require abandoning
: the mathematical structure of relativity.

The discussion about aether alludes to the plasma-like
nature of "massless" warp drives; there's a whole science out
there that's not being discussed that refers to certain per-
turbations existing that resonate the local spacetime that
are in perfect spatial gradient phase w.r.t. the "current"
spacetime ***.

The word "spacetime" is an Einsteinian description from GR that
bears no distinction from either "space or "time". Thus two
SPATIAL events can be said to occur some DISTANCE dxdydz
apart while two temporal events become separated by some
time interval "dt".

For what it's worth:

According to the SPACETIME definition,

ds^2 = c^2dt^2 - dx^2 - dy^2 - dz^2

the local geodyne becomes the space-time metric of "observation".
However, this value represents the UNCOMPRESSED value of
ds^2 in the current geodyne. The SPEED OF LIGHT must represent
a different value for "c" in the COMPRESSED geodyne, which
is represented by an aether that can only be measured as a
function of "compressed" spacetime.

The only route of access to this compressed spacetime is through
the action of dipolar or quadrupolar NMR.

(Just my two cents)

Apparently it's yet another modification of the Alcubierre Drive.
