So to alleviate the device's requiring prohibitive amounts of energy to operate, it just needs to be made out of particles that haven't even been encountered.
Nice.

This ring, potentially made of exotic matter, would cause space-time to warp around the starship Um, sure. I'm guessing that that "exotic matter" would be along the lines of unicorns that have been ground up and put through an atomic accelerator or some such. It has been a long time since I read any science fiction.

But does it run on “Green” energy?
If not, it won’t get Obama support. /s

This has to be an established concept/theory. Or just a massive coincidence that shows like Star Trek have been using “Ringships” for 30+ years now.

A concept for a real-life warp drive was suggested in 1994 by Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre

“Warp Drive May Be More Feasible Than Thought, Scientists Say”
Makes sense. I’ve lived long enough to know that conscious thought isn’t particular feasible when it comes to many people.

A warp drive would manipulate space-time itself to move a starship, taking advantage of a loophole in the laws of physics that prevent anything from moving faster than light.
IOW, you don't just need physicists for this -- you need space lawyers. Astrophysicists can only do so much, without astrojurists around to exploit loopholes in the laws of physics.
