If communication and travel between Earth, the Moon, and Mars (using current day technology) was as doable as it is to do today between continents, would the varying gravitational forces cause enough time dilation to be noticeable by people in some situations?

Is there a name for a “Dunning-Kruger”-like effect where people with a high ability in one field can overestimate their ability in other unrelated fields, perhaps explaining why some very highly educated people can display arrogant and ignorant behaviour?

In layman's terms, how does the Alcubierre Drive work and (assuming unlimited funding, time and manpower) what advancements to our current scientific/engineering understanding is required for us to build one? Does this method of propulsion leave any kind of signature that we could detect?

In layman's terms, how does the theoretical Alcubierre Drive work, and which scientific & engineering challenges must we first overcome in order to build one? Would an Alcubierre Drive, or any similar method of propulsion, create any detectable usage signatures?
