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 ...

According to Dr. Jared Fuchs, the world has turned the discussion of warp drives, and it is changing the tone of the ...

Instead of treating the Alcubierre solution as a one-off curiosity, they treat it as a starting point in a broader family of metrics that might be more realistic, an approach laid out in detail by ...

Casimir cavities are mysterious spaces between microscopic metal plates in a vacuum. Areas of diminished energy between the plates cause them to push toward each other, as if trying to fill the ...

Late last year, it emerged that a small team of NASA researchers were working on warp drive technology in the lab. Led by Harold "Sonny" White, the team devised a variation of the Alcubierre warp ...

The dream of faster-than-light travel has been on the mind of humanity for generations. Until recently, though, it was restricted to the realm of pure science fiction. Theoretical mechanisms for warp ...

Setting aside for the moment the extreme unlikelihood of ever building an Alcubierre drive, I was wondering what would happen to any object that was caught in the leading or trailing edge of the warp ...
