Not fully knowledgeable in this subject. Know DARPA related project created a wrap bubble by accident.

I dug really deep into this, going as far as reading the original paper. Unfortunately Dr White didn’t actually build a bubble. His experiment created the negative energy characteristics associated with the Alcubierre Drive. No warp bubble was produced, his paper only covered a mathematical model which may assist in making a warp drive. The research is cool, but the experiment portion only confirms the results of existing research. Even more unfortunate is that a quick search of credible sources places doubt on his theoretical work.

The confirmation of Casimir Cavities is exciting, he should’ve left his results as is. Unfortunately his story keeps getting wilder each time he tells it. I don’t have much faith in his ability to maintain a narrative.

Original Article as you can tell it’s far from creating a buble: https://idp.springer.com/authorize?response_type=cookie&client_id=springerlink&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flink.springer.com%2Fcontent%2Fpdf%2F10.1140%2Fepjc%2Fs10052-021-09484-z

I pointed this out when the first "stories" about White paper (get it?) were linked to in this sub. This is really more of a mathematical artifact than anything else. But people on this sub were adamant that this was, in fact, a demonstration of actual warp effects.

Despite the fact that nothing physical was even demonstrated.
