(paraphrased)
If we were able to directionally manipulate (the quantum fields? / the size of a parallel dimension quantum-linked to ours?); then the energy requirement of a theoretical Casimir Warp Drive to travel FTL would be the mass energy of Jupiter. (I.E. the energy theoretically produced by colliding Jupiter with Antimatter Jupiter.)
Wow, awesome presentation!

An astounding amount of information in a short lecture, and very cool if you like hard science.

But I would argue against this blanket statement that we've already explored the solar system.

While I accept that he's honestly biased towards interstellar travel, there's still plenty to see and do in our own backyard before we worry about the next few stars.
