Mysterious New Warp Drive Patent Surfaces Online
After appearing for decades in science fiction, then moving into an actual theory, a new patent for an updated warp drive was published last year to no fanfare. Like many other false starts in cutting-edge research, the patent may represent the next step in the expanding theory, or it could mean the practical, real-world design of a functioning warp drive is on the horizon. It occurred to me that we should be able to describe all physical phenomena as geometry. And that space-time was merely an emergent property, which is diametrically opposed to [Albert] Einstein’s approach.”
South China Sea Tensions: Beijing Bristles At German Warship Visit; Taiwan Gets Its Missiles Ready
As tensions simmer in the South China Sea, Beijing has reacted rather tautly to the German plan to send a frigate to the disputed region in August. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said all countries enjoy the freedom of navigation and overflight in the South China Sea, but “this should not be used as an excuse to endanger the sovereignty and security of littoral countries,” reported South China Morning Post. The Nato ally confirmed Tuesday that the frigate will cross the South China Sea on its return journey from Asia in August, the first time since 2002. German officials added the frigate will not pass within the 12-nautical-mile limits of any land, in a mission aimed at demonstrating Germany’s support for the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.

10Y Treasury Hits A Stunning -4.25% In Repo As Yields Blow Out
Last night we first pointed out something shocking: as a result of a massive wave of shorting in Treasurys in the past three days, the 10Y hit a record -4% in repo, an extremely rare event and one which occurs only when there is a dramatic shortage of collateral as a result of overshorting (think of it as very hard to borrow condition for stocks). What was even more amazing is that the repo rate was below the fails charge, which at least in theory is the absolute minimum that a 10Y rate can hit in repo.
