A series of recent theoretical papers argue that some subluminal “warp-drive” spacetime designs could avoid the traditional requirement for “exotic” negative-energy matter, or at least reduce/shift ...

Warp drive has long lived in the realm of starships and scriptwriters, but the equations behind it are starting to look less like fantasy and more like a difficult engineering problem. The latest ...

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 ...

If humanity ever wants to escape the solar system, we’re going to need a faster-than-light engine. Enter: the warp drive. While such a drive pushes the limits of known physics, a new study ponders ...

The first warp drive design from the early 90s required massive amounts of negative energy, but three decades of honing the math later, scientists have lowered that threshold considerably. Now, a new ...
