Dr Sarfatti there is one problem I have always had with your ideas for using meta-materials to create a warp drive metric, at least for traveling FTL and that is the effect that the extreme warping will have on the meta-material skin of the vehicle.
I have come across an idea for a form of warp drive where this might not be the case.
To my understanding this might be achievable using your meta- material concept,
I might of course be wrong. What are your views on this?
