Is the Alcubierre drive consistent with conservation of energy? (Gravitational potential in particular)
Consider a ship in a circular orbit around a planet. It activates an Alcubierre drive. Do the physics of this drive allow the ship to reach a greater distance from the planet, and if so, where does ...
