Conformal Gravity and the Alcubierre Warp Drive Metric
Figure 1
Results for the two different shaping functions (left column ASF, right column HSF), computed with parameters , , , , , . (a) Alcubierre and Hartle shaping functions. (b) Expansion of the volume elements . (c) Energy density computed with general relativity. (d) Energy density computed with conformal gravity. The WEC is verified in the case shown in the bottom right panel.
