Conformal Gravity and the Alcubierre Warp Drive Metric

Figure 6

Energy density 𝑇⁰⁰ computed with conformal gravity and the Hartle shaping function, plotted for 𝜌≥0. Parameters used are 𝑣_𝑠=1, 𝑅=10000, 𝑚=4, 𝛼_𝑔=1, and 𝑡=0. Integrating this local energy density over all space, we obtain an estimate for the total energy 𝐸 required to establish the warp drive.
