I read an article recently where theoretical physicists were arguing over 
whether *if* you made a bubble of flat space with a vehicle inside, and you 
moved it by squashing the space in front and stretching the space behind, 
whether the radiation caused would disrupt the interface between the two, 
and whether you could make two interfaces to prevent that problem...

So, yes, real scientists really are working on a real warp drive, in some 
sense. :-)
