Of course, if he does detect gravity waves, that will get us as close to warp drive as the invention of the telegraph got us to cell phones. Then again, you have to start somewhere. If you want to ...

when he was inspired to model a warp drive using Einstein's equations of general relativity. General relativity is a ...

The black hole's gravity affects the energy conditions needed to create and sustain the warp drive. That means you can theoretically decrease the amount of negative energy required to sustain the ...

Article continues below Science fiction often gets around this through advanced technology - such as Star Trek's warp drive - allowing faster-than-light travel. On the show, a special 'warp drive ...

Whether an Alcubierre warp drive is allowed is ultimately a question for quantum gravity, which we do not yet have a solution for. In the meantime, we can only skirt around the edges, poking at ...
