Q: How do we create the distortion in space time to travel at 99.99% the speed speed of light?

LunaWe could possibly reach this speed by creating a distortion in space. I just never understood how we could create this distortion. It was a long time since I researched this so if you could help me that would be great

 
they don't even ask the same thing
@Acuriousmind I just fixed it because i hit done on accident
I do not see how a page without distortion is the same as one with distortion
 
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive is not mainstream physics because it requires negative mass and we have no reason to believe negative mass exists. If your question had not been closed as a duplicate, it would have been closed as non-mainstream physics.
 
yet someone else asked a similar question and it was mainstream
my question is no longer a duplicate
 
There are dozens of questions about the “Alcubierre drive”.
 
not the same mine is how not what
the linked question does not relate to my question

Regarding your revised title: No “distortion in spacetime” is necessary to travel at 99.99% the speed of light.
 
According to what @G.Smith
 
According to accepted physics. It is easy to make an electron or proton go 99.99% the speed of light, and we do this all the time. (Actually much closer to $c$.) A rocket could go 99.99% the speed of light if you were able to give it enough energy, without any “spacetime distortion”.
 
also I never mentioned requiring the space-time distortion
 
Your question asked how to create it.
 
but not needing it

Goodbye. Comments are not for extended arguments.
 
I am not arguing I wrote the question
The question is only asking how to create them nothing else, I only included background that I remember
 
10:29 PM
anything else you want to talk about?
related to my question

@Luna I don’t have anything I want to talk about. The Wikipedia article that I cited on the Alcubierre drive has plenty of information for you to learn more about this non-mainstream idea about how spacetime distortion might be created using negative mass. Dig in!
 
I accidently started a bounty
is there anything i can do except mention it on meta?
 
11:35 PM
“All bounties are paid for up front and non-refundable under any circumstances.” (stackoverflow.com/help/bounty) So if you ask to undo it on meta, your request will be poorly receved. I strongly advise against it.
