What if the biggest change in warp-drive research is not speed, but credibility? For decades, the idea sat in an awkward place between Einstein’s equations and televised starships. Miguel Alcubierre’s ...

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 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 ...

Exploring the universe in Star Trek is as easy as firing up the warp drive and zipping off to the next adventure, but real life is much more tedious without faster-than-light (FTL) travel. Physicists ...

What if I told you there’s a prototype German engine that could enable travel between galaxies, in futuristic spaceships that break the laws of physics with the phenomenon of “time warping”? It sounds ...

The picture depicted above is not some secret NASA project built in the recesses of the dark side of the moon, but the brainchild of concept artist Mark Rademaker, who designed what could be the first ...
