> Alcubierre drive maybe?

this is old physics, just another solution of the GR

No, saying “just” in that way is like saying any given computer program is “just” another solution to the Church-Turing thesis.

Alcubierre introduced a novel and interesting category of solutions that people hadn’t thought of before.
