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 ...

In what is known as the Alcubierre drive – which was first proposed in 1994 – a warp drive could be created by wrapping a ship in negative energy and then manipulating spacetime. By expanding ...

A few months ago, physicist Harold White stunned the aeronautics world when he announced that he and his team at NASA had begun work on the development of a faster-than-light warp drive. His proposed ...

Late last year, it emerged that a small team of NASA researchers were working on warp drive technology in the lab. Led by Harold "Sonny" White, the team devised a variation of the Alcubierre warp ...

Warp drive is a technology that humanity has dreamed about for years. However, in reality, it is more than just a dream — a number of scientists have long speculated about how such devices would ...

Arvix – Metamaterial-based model of the Alcubierre warp drive by Igor I. Smolyaninov of the University of Maryland. Alcubierre imagined a small volume of flat spacetime in which a spacecraft sits, ...

The canonical form of the Alcubierre warp drive metric is considered to gain insight into the mathematical mechanism triggering the effect. A parallel with the Chung-Freese spacetime metric is drawn ...
