Being able to ride that wave within your own spacetime bubble
would allow you, at least in theory, to bypass the restrictions of the
speed of light because, in fact, you would be warping or folding
space itself. Within your spacetime bubble, you would continue to
obey all the laws of physics, but in effect, your ship would be
moving at a rate faster than light (FTL). The problem with doing
this, however, is that according to the equations, you would never
be able to generate the amount of energy necessary to make this
happen.
In 2018, discussion over a mysterious “metamaterial” arose. A
metamaterial is a highly complex material that is manufactured with
great complexity. At the microscopic level, it contains what is known as
a “lattice-like” structure. This microscopic structure can result in very
interesting and useful properties. It turns out that one of these
properties might include anti-gravitic effects. Another might include
some version of spacetime engineering.
Later in 2018, physicist Dr. Jack Sarfatti suggested that the lattice
structure of the metamaterial might be able to “warp” spacetime
without requiring massive amounts of energy. That is because when
an electromagnetic field interacts with the material, the result is a
“negative energy density.”
