A new study provides some theoretical underpinning to sci-fi warp drives, suggesting that the superfast propulsion tech may not forever elude humanity.

HOUSTON — A warp drive to achieve faster-than-light travel — a concept popularized in television's Star Trek — may not be as unrealistic as once thought, scientists say. A warp drive would ...

Theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre developed the Alcubierre drive in 1994, a theory suggesting that a bubble within space-time could twist distances, making faster-than-light travel possible ...

White explains that “space warp” is one of two loopholes within the theory of general relativity and noted in a 1994 paper by theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre.

HOUSTON — A warp drive to achieve faster-than-light travel — a concept popularized in television's Star Trek — may not be as unrealistic as once thought, scientists say.

In 2015, a new kind of telescope, a detector called Ligo, was turned on, not looking for light waves but for gravitational waves, which are invisible “ripples” in space and time.Again nature ...

Warp Path 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.

A Study Says Warp Drives Might Be Real—and We'll Find Them With Lasers Scientists say they can detect the presence of advanced propulsion systems through gravitational waves. By Darren Orf ...

It’s slick. It’s circular. It’s gleaming white. Everything a spaceship should be, based on the science fiction industry. Oh, and yes: It’s been dubbed “Enterprise”, after the spaceship ...
