    Sure, but doesn’t the outer surface diffusing apply to the friction of water against a submarine’s hull too? No clue about theoretical quantum bubbles, but it doesn’t seem like anything that would affect spaceships in particular.

      friction of water against a submarine’s hull

      I can’t say for sure, but I feel like the affect due to said friction would be much lower, considering we are managing solid-solid friction in a lot of places.

      theoretical quantum bubbles

      Yeah, that’s not relevant. Just added that to clarify which “void” I’m talking about.


      The vaporising metals problem, I think might be alleviated by covalent bonding materials, so polymers? But not sure about that either.
