Warp drives have long lived in the realm of science fiction, but the underlying physics that inspired them is very real and ...

"Warp drives" used by super-advanced alien civilizations may create specific space-time ripples in their wake that we can spot from Earth, a new paper argues. However, the jury is still out on whether ...

Warp drive has quietly shifted from pure fantasy to a live topic in serious physics, with new models showing how spacetime itself could be shaped without breaking Einstein’s rules. The latest designs ...

The concept of warp drives — entirely hypothetical devices that could propel spacecraft by warping the fabric of space-time — has historically been relegated to science fiction. If they could ever be ...

The idea of warp drive—the ability to travel faster than the speed of light—has fascinated humanity for decades. It began as a fictional concept in Star Trek and Star Wars, fueling imaginations and ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Warp-drives are solutions of general relativity widely considered unphysical due to high negative energy requirements. Most research has focused on macroscopic solutions towards the goal of ...

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 ...
