In 2026, physicists allowed an Alcubierre-shaped warp field to evolve instead of holding its bubble profile artificially fixed, and found that it became unstable: nearby trajectories crossed to form caustics, making the velocity field multivalued unless some still-unknown physics could stabilize it.
A warp bubble can look orderly when its shape is prescribed in advance. A 2026 study asked what…
