Funny enough the concept NASA came up with for the warp drive is the same i came up with a year after high school. Pretty much rodin coil and and magnetic fluid.
This immediately came to mind:
"Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova, and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?"

I'm fascinated by the possibility of faster than light travel; however, I have to assume that the energy imparted by a collision with even the smallest particle would be devastating.
