I was writing my lengthy response when you posted this.

See it above.

Wormholes or gravity drives do NOT "work" by faster than light travel. They "work" by bending/ripping space.

Quite different.

And they're only theories. Do you really want your tax dollars spent on some NASA scientists researching warp drives? Come on!
