In this episode, we delved into Dr. Greg Hodgin's groundbreaking work at ZC Institute, where the fusion startup is exploring the possibilities of quantum spacetime distortion for micro-scale fusion and, eventually, faster-than-light warp drives. The "quantum hack" approach, collaboration with research institutions, and the ambitious timeline outlined by Dr. Hodgin shed light on the potential future of space travel!
