FathomWe spent six weeks computationally analyzing the Rodal (2025) warp drive metric, the latest attempt to build a warp bubble without exotic matter. The result is a definitive negative, but the reason why is more interesting than "it doesn't work."
The irrotational construction reduces violations by 37x vs Alcubierre. But observer-robust analysis shows it hides violations across 45% of the domain that comoving observers never see.
