Sonny White

PERSON Personnel Also: Harold White, Sonny White, Dr. Sonny White

01 Executive_Summary

Director of Advanced Research and Development at Limitless Space Institute (LSI). Former NASA Eagleworks researcher — refined the Alcubierre Warp Drive metric (2003, 2011). Left NASA 2018, joined LSI. Published warp bubble paper in European Physical Journal C (2021) showing micro-scale warp bubble possible using Casimir effect. Founded nanotechnology company 'Casimir' (2023). Has DARPA DSO $1M grant for 'dynamic vacuum model' research. Reportedly worked with Lockheed Martin Skunk Works on warp drive (per The Debrief interview). LSI is funding Charles Chase's UnLAB quantum vacuum propulsion work. This creates a direct link between the CFR program (via Chase) and warp drive/exotic propulsion research.
