A warp drive would manipulate space-time itself to move a starship, taking advantage of a loophole in the laws of physics that prevent anything from moving faster than light.
IOW, you don't just need physicists for this -- you need space lawyers. Astrophysicists can only do so much, without astrojurists around to exploit loopholes in the laws of physics.

No, you just have to hire Romney's accountant!
The evil rich don't have to obey the laws of physics. They take up all the space, but don't have to spend the time!

"you need space lawyers"That would be awful similar to this...
"Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws. The Hingefreel people of Arkintoofle Minor did try to build spaceships that were powered by bad news but they didn't work particularly well and were so extremely unwelcome whenever they arrived anywhere that there wasn't really any point in being there." - Douglas Adams
