A Physical Warp Drive Was Supposed to Be Impossible. Then These Scientists Found a Loophole.
Humans are one (small) step closer to traveling at faster-than-light speeds.
Inspired by Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek, physicist Miguel Alcubierre set out to transform one of the cornerstones of science fiction iconography, the Warp Drive, into reality. But is it even possible ...
Dr. Richard Obousy describes an advanced space-propulsion concept based on modifying the local cosmological constant to facilitate an expansion/contraction of spacetime around a spacecraft to create ...
“Scotty, I need warp speed in three minutes or we’re all dead,” Captain James T. Kirk firmly tells his lieutenant commander in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982). Unfortunately, warp speed doesn’t ...
In 1994, physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a radical technology that would allow faster than light travel: the warp drive, a hypothetical way to skirt around the universe’s ultimate speed limit by ...
The canonical form of the Alcubierre warp drive metric is considered to gain insight into the mathematical mechanism triggering the effect. A parallel with the Chung-Freese spacetime metric is drawn ...
