Getting to warp speed is one part of the problem. Slowing down will be an equal bitch.
From my understanding the actual ship wouldn't reach high speeds, it just contains a warp drive that compresses and decompresses spacetime,

In 1994, Miguel Alcubierre proposed a method for changing the geometry of space by creating a wave that would cause the fabric of space ahead of a spacecraft to contract and the space behind it to expand.
The ship would then ride this wave inside a region of flat space, known as a warp bubble, and would not move within this bubble but instead be carried along as the region itself moves due to the actions of the drive.

This made me think of light “speed.” From the perspective of a photon it isn’t moving at all, since time slows down proportionately to speed.
So, at light speed time stops. Could it be that a photon moves through spacetime in a similar way that an object theoretically could using the Alcubierre method?
Obviously the structure of spacetime accommodates massless particles in their movement. If so it would seem that a scale of this accommodation should exist for particles with mass, and that scale should be alterable.
