A new 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 is ...

Two physicists from the University of Queensland in Australia recently laid out a model for studying hypothetical time travel. Their work expands on what’s called the Alcubierre spacetime, first ...

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 ...

Arvix – Metamaterial-based model of the Alcubierre warp drive by Igor I. Smolyaninov of the University of Maryland. Alcubierre imagined a small volume of flat spacetime in which a spacecraft sits, ...

Warp drive is a technology that humanity has dreamed about for years. However, in reality, it is more than just a dream — a number of scientists have long speculated about how such devices would ...

A few months ago, physicist Harold White stunned the aeronautics world when he announced that he and his team at NASA had begun work on the development of a faster-than-light warp drive. His proposed ...

In a surprising paper, scientists say they’ve nailed down a physical model for a warp drive, which flies in the face of what we’ve long thought about the crazy concept of warp speed travel: that it ...
