C-0025 Under review MODERATE certainty
The quantum-inequality obstruction to warp drive has independent corroboration in the corpus beyond the single Pfenning-Ford paper. Everett & Roman (1997), analysing the Krasnikov tube — a different superluminal geometry — apply the same Ford-Roman inequalities and reach the same class of conclusion, explicitly noting the parallel Pfenning-Ford warp result; and Fewster's lectures derive quantum energy inequalities from first principles as 'remnants of the classical energy conditions' that quantum field theory does satisfy. The wall bound C-0007 therefore no longer rests on one paper: the inequality it uses is a reviewed, independently-applied result, which lifts the single-source downgrade even as the specific 10^2 coefficient remains Pfenning-Ford's.
Standing peer reviewed consensus · interpretation · TRL 1 Assumes Everett-Roman 1997 (S-0017) and Fewster 2012 (S-0016) as the corroborating sources; 'the same class of conclusion' means QI-type magnitude/duration limits on negative energy, not the identical numeric bound Stops applying the specific 10^2 v_b L_Planck coefficient, which remains from Pfenning-Ford alone and is not independently reproduced here

…(QIs) strongly suggest that it is unlikely that stable Lorentzian wormholes can exist, and similar conclusions have been drawn by Pfenning and Ford with regard to the "warp drive" spacetime of Ref.. It is the goal of this paper to analyze a spacetime recent…
