Maybe (or at least an albecuire drive)
Maybe
Probably not
Also some more "basic" things like cheap MRI without requiring helium (which we are running out of), cheap and easy magnetic levitation (more available high-speed trains)
Last I checked, alcubierre drive still requires negative mass, which is not a thing. Time travel and artificial gravity are still theoretically impossible.
Yeah artificial gravity I was thinking more along the lines of faking it via magnetism.
Albecuire drive I was just wrong about, you're right it's not a maybe it's a nearly 100% no lol.
Sorry just excited.
Albecuire drive is basically science fiction. If it's actually possible we won't be seeing it any time soon unless we find a crashed ship on Mars or something.
