← ScienceWhich outcome arises from the Alcubierre warp drive hypothesis?
A)Exotic matter energy density increases
B)Spacetime curvature compresses, expands✓
C)Inertial dampeners nullify momentum transfer
D)Causality violations become consistently regulated
💡 Explanation
Propulsion via the Alcubierre drive requires manipulation of spacetime, so spacetime curvature both compresses ahead of the craft and expands behind it. Thrust results because of space contracting rather than momentum, therefore B, rather than thrust alone increasing vehicle velocity.
