Dubbing these “closed timelike geodesics” (CTGs), Ralph and Sajeendran explain in the paper: “Such a CTG would be ideal for ...

This Star Trek concept ignited a dream that humans could one day travel faster than the speed of light. Now physicists are ...

Scientists said the warp drive, once considered to be purely hypothetical, is slowly edging toward legitimate physics.

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 ...

Season 2 of the critically acclaimed Star Trek: Strange New Worlds premiered June 15 (streaming on Paramount+). So today, Short Wave boldly goes where many, many nerds have gone before and explores ...

The Memphis Flyer is Memphis’ alternative newsweekly, serving the metro Memphis area of nearly a million residents. The Flyer was started in 1989 by Contemporary Media, Inc., the locally owned ...

In the 1990s, Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a new kind of hypothetical warp drive that would allow a spacecraft to travel faster than the speed of light. To pull off that ...

A team of physicists from the University of Alabama in Huntsville and the Advanced Propulsion Laboratory at Applied Physics, in New York, has developed a model that shows it might be possible to ...

Warp drive concepts suggest a ship could ride a bubble of space-time faster than light without breaking relativity.

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.
