Is this for real? I did a search on one of the scientists, and he came out with a paper with lots of impressive looking equations and so maybe it would work. Or maybe he is sitting there in Germany chuckling "suckers"! and spending it all on hookers, beer and World Cup tickets.
I think we would have a "Day the Earth Stood Still" event if we ever got hyperspace tech. I am sure the others in the Universe don't want us running around out there just yet.
"I'm giving her all she's got Captain and she's still hoooldin' togethar" Man, 11 light years in 80 days. Imagine how that would transform the nature of our existence.
Now all we need is for the Vulcans to be passing by as we test it! (Yep a sci-fi geek and proud too!)
Wherever Zeffram Cochran's base is! He will teach them to shake hands while they teach him the Vulcan sign... I need to stop admitting to knowing Star Trek crap! This is the lowest of the low... *hangs his head in shame*
Well, as far as I'm aware, The Scotsman is a fairly straight paper - it's not got a reputation of being the Weekly World News or anything like that. IF...

Theoretical is... theoretical. How the hell are we going to get the energy required to make the kind of magnetic field this would take? Energizers aren't gonna cut it. Maybe if we could harness the power of Entropy's horniness... that might do it.
Cut me some slack coach, I've been trying to put a hundred thousand shards of metal back together in a non-Air conditioned hangar for weeks now just to find out something I already knew.
