Dr. Siegel’s critique of a simulated nano-sized warp bubble is notable. The title and abstract (Worldline numerics applied to custom Casimir geometry ...) is misleading and if the reader is not careful, it could be inferred that an actual observable experiment took place. Modeling and simulation has its place but not at the expense of testable empirical evidence. Thanks for the clarification.
I find the idea of advanced aerospace vehicles via manipulation of the spacetime metric fascinating (with right eyebrow raised). The Albucierre solution demonstrated that warp bubble propulsion is physically realizable, at least in theory. The 2019 FOIA release from the DIA outlined many promising research projects regarding warp drive, exotic materials, wormholes, stargates, cloaking devices, even metallic glass [1].
I find the infiltration of motivated reasoning in science to be deeply troubling, from the academic world, to the scientific community and now into the medical arena. One prime example is “catastrophic climate change” driven by model simulation alone without considering the empirical evidence (current observational and Paleoclimate). Trying to predict the climate 80 years into the future when current long-range weather models cannot predict accurately beyond one week is insanity. CO2 is a trace gas, not a pollutant, it’s plant food resulting in greater crop yields. The war on fossil fuels is senseless and will lead to suffering and misery. The greater threat is global cooling which may be realized by the end of this decade (weaker solar cycle).
Now we have mRNA “vaccines” that cannot prevent infection, transmission to others or serious illness including death. If the vaccines work, why aren’t they working?
