Not really about Lost, but interesting...someone tell NotsoLost
Warp drive is Not Impossible

Couple interesting points:

"The idea is that you take a chunk of space-time and move it," said Marc Millis, former head of NASA's Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Project. "The vehicle inside that bubble thinks that it's not moving at all. It's the space-time that's moving."

The catch is that massive amounts of this negative energy would probably be required to warp space-time enough to transport a bubble faster than light speed. Huge breakthroughs will be needed not just in propulsion but in energy. Some experts think harnessing the mysterious force called dark energy — thought to power the acceleration of the universe's expansion — could provide the key.

What makes you think I am not familiar with those ideas? :p The problem with dark matter is that the cost to make it is astronomical. And, if the dark matter, or anti-matter, touches matter particles....well, God help us all! It only takes a teaspoon of anti-matter to blow up an entire city. The Fermi Labs can produce a particle of anti-matter for a nanosecond. Look how much it costs to run Fermi Lab! We'll get there someday but not in my lifetime unfortunatly. I'd love to see it!
Thanks for thinking of me! :D:);)
