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 ...

A team of physicists has discovered that it’s possible to build a real, actual, physical warp drive and not break any known rules of physics. One caveat: the vessel doing the warping can’t exceed the ...

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 ...

To construct a warp drive, we'd need 10 times more negative energy than all of the positive energy in the universe. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

In 1994, Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre decided to figure out if the "warp drive" from his favorite science fiction shows was possible. Amazingly, he found a way to make it feasible, ...
