← ScienceWhich risk increases significantly when inertial mass approaches gravitational mass inside an Alcubierre drive spacetime bubble?
A)Incorrect bubble warp trajectory✓
B)Vehicle structural collapse
C)Excessive heat generation
D)Unintended quantum entanglement
💡 Explanation
Inertial and gravitational mass are hypothesized to be equivalent by Einstein's equivalence principle; a divergence in them during Alcubierre drive warp could cause instability in path-following control, resulting in incorrect trajectory because the designed compensations are precisely calibrated to this exact equivalence, rather than unpredictable deviations.
