In 1999, Belgian physicist Chris Van Den Broeck implemented a minor alteration to Alcubierre’s concept by shrinking the ...

Building a warp drive is more than an energy problem; it's a physics puzzle with universe bending consequences. This video ...

New research "boldly goes" where physicists have never gone before, suggesting what would happen to the space around a failing warp drive. In addition, a team from the Queen Mary University of London, ...

The closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri. It is about 4.25 light-years away, or about 25 trillion miles (40 trillion km). The fastest ever spacecraft, the now-in-space Parker Solar Probe will ...

A research paper proposes a fully physically realized model for warp drive. This builds on an existing model that requires negative energy—an impossibility. The new model is exciting, but warp speed ...

Groundbreaking new research has discovered a means by which a constant velocity warp drive could be possible without the need for exotic particles or negative energy. Without the fictional idea of a ...

Recent research has brought new life to the concept of traveling faster than the speed of light, a technology once confined to the realms of science fiction, particularly popularized as “warp drive” ...

Starship tech in Star Trek is weird. For example, what keeps complicated warp drives from blowing up and ruining the space-time continuum? It turns out that one very small piece of tech that’s been ...

Warp drives are staples of science fiction, and in principle could propel spaceships faster than the speed of light. Unfortunately, there are many problems with constructing them in practice, such as ...

You know that scene in the film Contact where the “Machine” is spooling up, its three spinning rings kicking out crazy light and an electromagnetic field powerful enough to pitch nearby Navy ...
