The solution, as I see it, should be fairly simple. Move the ship forward in the pocket of space while the pocket is itself is also moving. This SHOULD allow any buildup of any debris and radiation to saftely dissipate along the sides of the field effect as both the space pocket an craft move in Space.
I'm a confused site visitor. This is a discussion under "Advanced concepts", so should be serious, yet it is discussing once proposed physics that as far as we know is impossible. So I'll just leave this here for the record:An Alcubierre field solution does not include the means to put matter traveling faster than the universal speed limit within itself. The solution has the constraint that you somehow create a spacetime region already traveling above the limit.And if it did include an acceleration means, it would run up against the same exclusion as all other time travel solutions of physics. (See Scott Aaaronsson's publications why those are forbidden, a physics realisation of the old quip "so where are all the time travelers then", with successful tests and all.)Disregarding the unspecified and impossible bootstrap procedure to break the relativity it builds on, its realizations are constrained to include exotic physics. That by itself is an extraordinary claim, and would need extraordinary evidence. This isn't rocket science.

Sorry Torbjorn Larsson : but to bend space time, it is more efficient than move in this space and time. The authority of the doctor White leaves us no other choice - it is better to move the asphalt under the truck than the truck.
..."Advanced concepts" means anything in the range from unlikely to impossible. If you don't want to read about things that are impossible as far as we know, you should avoid reading "Advanced concepts"...

Get the defibrolater paddles out. Call the medics. Put away the breakables. I'm about to cause several myocardio-infarctions and aneurisms...http://www.omaha.com/living/working-toward-a-warp-drive-in-his-garage-lab-omahan/article_b6489acf-5622-5419-ac18-0c44474da9c9.htmlI guess Dr White had better hurry up some. He's got competition :

He's got competition : I wonder if Rodal or Mulletron could be summoned to this thread? Assuming, of course, that an actual paper with reasonably sane equations can be found somewhere.I do find it interesting he began by investigating known aeronautical anomalies/incidents.

This SHOULD allow any buildup of any debris and radiation to saftely dissipate along the sides of the field effect as both the space pocket an craft move in Space.Whether the ship is moving within the pocket or not, or even if there is a ship in the pocket or not, is irrelevant. The buildup of debris and radiation is due to the pocket, not the ship inside it.
This article says there is no such thing as inflation. Inflation is important to warp drive. What do we make of this study?http://phys.org/news/2014-12-alternative-explanation-dark-energy.html
