According to a recent study.. Actually maybe, at least eventually. And we now know just what to look for and how to look for it. PBS Member Stations rely on viewers like you.

Oh, I remember that Lu Cysin wrote about such "bubbles" in Three body problem, there they were marks of switching on lightspeed engines and they're been found nearby Trisolaris system soon after it's extermination.

The "u" in Miguel is mute. Same as in "que" (what). This is one of the few exceptions in spanish, the u is used muted in a few combinations. Also the last e in Alcubierre sounds exactly like the previous one. We only have one sound for each letter. Our writting sounds exactly the same as speaked.(again, very few exceptions apply)

As Douglas Adams once pointed out: Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.
