I read a thread on Reddit about the DARPA news. Someone pulled out the paper and determined that it may be more sensational than true.

I assume this is true for 100% of news about warp bubbles. The physical theory is real so plausibly I'll be wrong eventually, but optimistic reports will always massively outnumber real discoveries.... :)
