Breaking the Law of Gravity

Don't care to its publishing date, it's really well-written & straightforward. I wish all the science journalists would have written this style.

So you're only here to promote your wormhole.

This page contains some links to interesting articles. I suggest reading them; however those are rather old, but consider the progress in this field is unfortunately slow:
http://www.earthtech.org/press/index.html
For example, this article is informative IMO:
http://www.earthtech.org/press/2004....ation_week.pdf

That first link has 17 stories, which one are you suggesting? The second describes research in 2004, what was the result?

Not interested in science fiction from 1986.

If I like a subject, I am not shy to refuse commenting on it. Also, can you name any other idea having wider range of applications than wormhole/spacewarp? After nuking Japan, the world has lived under the shadow of a technology which people have not had enough time to analyze it before realize it. This wormhole technology could have much greater impacts than the nuclear technology and therefore we'd better review all aspects about it before the governments could launch another miserable race by that.
A forum thread is just one step, it deserves that thinkers to write books about it IMHO.

All of them. Sadly, the newest of them backs to 2004; however the related progress is slow and I guess main achievements have not been published for the public.

Not interested in science fiction from 1986.

That is not sci-fi; I suggest to read all of that. I just enjoyed it and wanted to share my pleasure with others.

Just FYI: A summary of a good book:

Progress in revolutionary propulsion physics; Authors: Marc G. Millis; (Submitted on 5 Jan 2011)
.
And another related paper by the same author:
