Now we can look at the second diagram
This diagram shows how knowing the amount of gravitational lensing, a direct path
to the real star location can be plotted through perfectly symmetrical space.
Therefore because it's possible to plot a straight line through perfectly,
symmetrical space, space itself cannot be curved, and the
warped grid only represents possible trajectories
for free floating objects near a massive
object due to gravitation.
Unless the arguments here and in my preceding post can be sufficiently nullified by relevant counterpoint that addresses the specific points made, there appears to be no reason to believe space itself is curved in any way shape or form. This means that such things as warp drives may be based on a faulty premise and are impossible to build in the way they're being thought of.

Or even if some sort of drive is developed that works according to the math, that it isn't really working by "warping space", but by some other unknown means that the math just happens to work with. That would be fine too. Whatever the case, I think we need to remember that math is an abstraction of reality, not reality itself. If we can actually go there in a straight line, that's reality. And there's no reason to think it wouldn't be possible if the conditions were right.
