We can travel faster than light. Like that limitation is just “Einstein was wrong”.

It proves him wrong that there is no workaround, but also right about the principles if this was to work.
Technically it is following relativity, and only works if relativity works. I'll give an example.
Let us say that it will take light 1 second to travel from point A to point B, i.e. its 1 light second in distance. This warp drive temporarily warps the space in front of the ship to make it smaller, so that the ship gets from point A to point B in less than 1 second, but thats really because it traveled less than the full distance, its sort of like tunneling or wormholing, not because it actually moved faster than the speed of light.
For this to work, Einstein has to be correct that Gravity is not a force, but actually the warping of space, as this warp drive depends on the ability to warp space in front of the ship and shrink the distance temporarily between these points as it travels. If gravity is in fact the result of a theoretical Graviton particle and not the warping of space by mass Einstein claims, then this will turn out not to work at all

I diddnt know that it proves him right.
I did sort of get the concept.
Did you know supposedly we all ready have this tech? You spin mercury m?

I've heard conspiratorial claims about tech like this being real, I have no idea if those are credible are not. It's an idea I've seen in sci-fi that I understand the basic theory of why it would be possible, but thats about it. How they might accomplish this with Mercury is over my head, I just know the gist of Einsteins theories of relativity and special relativity

When we place electric in mercury, it spins, creating a field. And when we do it in the other direction, it makes another field.
And placing the two fields on top of each other cancels gravity.

Interesting, I'll have to read more about that that. But yeah if scientists theoretically know how to do this, its not out of the realm of possibility that our military could build it. I've often wondered if those UFO's are them testing super secret tech

Conspiracy theory realm: they have the tech, and they kill everyone that have reproduced it.
You should check out that video I posted. It’s covered it well.

Yeah I'll give it a watch

I watch these videos in the car, while commuting. They don’t get my full attention. But I pick up a lot.

I can travel faster than light if I have a slow light
