The torpedoes and bullets achieve their incredible speed by generating an air bubble around the object allowing it to " slip " through the water molecules.

Einstein has postulated that it is impossible to travel at the speed of light. The energy requirements are incredible to even think about. However, light does have properties of both a wave and also of particles and yet they travel at light speed.

Perhaps by creating a " Warp Bubble " an object inside of it can travel at light speed and beyond. This idea would not seem to violate the rules of physics and yet enable high speed travel.

At least this gives physicists new ways to this of space travel and to " think out of the box ."
Good stuff.
