As far as taking a short cut through an area of warped space-time, even though it would appear c is exceeded, its not.The object taking the short cut is still travelling less than c, Alcubierre's "theory" even states that.Its analogous to 2 cars travelling from one side of a mountain to the other.If a car dvives over a mountain and a car drives through a tunnel in the mountain both traveling at the same speed, the car going through the tunnel will arrive at the other side before the other car, but the speed is still the same.

That theory is useless. The car "going through the mountain" is taking a straight line approach. Of course it would get there faster. But in space travel, why would you go the long way around? You would fly a straight line to where you are going which would be the shortest distance.
