A Diagnostic Framework for Energy-Condition Compliance in Warp-Drive Spacetimes: Einstein–Cartan Spin–Torsion Compensation as a Worked Case Study

2026-06-14

Abstract excerpt

Proposals that a modification of gravitational dynamics renders the Alcubierre warp-drive geometry physically permissible recur regularly, and they fail or succeed for reasons that are often obscured by inconsistent conventions, misapplied theorems, and category errors. We address this by constructing an explicit, reproducible diagnostic protocol — seven necessary tests, each anchored to an established result in t...
