Without any shred of evidence that it's possible to do so, they're going to "try to prove" something by building something??

Good point. I wonder if NASA’s primary responsibility, muzlim outreach, influenced this innovative thinking
As I understand it, the theory predicts that although it is impossible for matter to exceed the speed of light, it IS possible for a parcel of spacetime to do so, and effectively carry along anything inside it at faster-than-light speed. The “drive” they are working on is dealing with microscopic amounts of matter. Assuming it actually works, spaceflight applications are very, very far off. But there are more readily accessible applications in the fields of computers and communication.
Oh, Hell no. They know better than that but they also knows what wins grant money and gets funding requests approved.
