i agree, adrian, but i think there is something else
in here, which may be related to the mind-body
problem.
given two people: jack and john, jack will see his
mind as irredutible, but john will see jack´s mind as
redutible.
something similar may happen in this warp-drive
context: jack could be the pilot of a spaceship that
generates a warp-field bubble which is moving at
superluminal speed. john is the obeserver and in his
perspective jack would have to undergo lethal
acceleration as well as relativistic effects to get
that fast, but jack would have felt nothing
(aceleration or relativistic effects), because he is
being shielded from global causality.
