Interstellar Journey - Episode 5

There are two remarkable loopholes in the theory of relativity. The first, suggested by Einstein himself is called the Einstein-Rosen bridge, or a more popular term is a wormhole. A wormhole is a tear in the fabric of spacetime that connects two distant points via a stable tunnel through spacetime. Much theoretical progress has been made on wormholes since they were first postulated. However, exotic matter would be necessary to create these devices, and prodigous amounts of energy would be required to hold open a wormhole throat. The other loop-hole in relativity is the concept of a warp drive. This name is taken from popular science fiction, but recently it has been demonstrated that the warp drive is, in fact, based on real physics.

in order to do this wouldn't the vessel need to be made out of pure energy(access to an unlimited source) in order to even travel fast enough to "slow down" space-time enough to get even close to those speeds required to even suggest the idea of tearing space-time? ride the lightning so to speak?
