Curvature Propulsion

Item from remembrance-of-earths-past by Cixin Liu

Lightspeed drive that warps the geometry of spacetime in front of a vessel — the engine first hinted at in Yun Tianming's fairy tales, built in secret by the Halo Group under Wade and AA, and humanity's only escape from the dual-vector foil.

What They Know

• The principle of operation — geometric warping of spacetime ahead of the vessel via the soap-paper boat analogy
• The slowed-light wake side-effect that exposes any user as a Dark Forest target
• The Halo Group's development timeline and which Council members blocked it for political reasons
