Traveling at warp speed is no longer an impressive sci-fi idea, as researchers at the University of Alabama, Huntsville, have suggested a new theory for a warp drive that follows the theories of ...

Warp drives are among the more plausible of science fiction concepts, at least from a mathematical perspective. Now, Applied Physics, a multidisciplinary group of international scientists and ...

Applied Physics unveils a new type of warp drive—a theoretical method of space travel that complies with general relativity and operates at a constant subluminal speed without requiring unphysical ...

For the first time, a group of physicists has written down a warp drive concept that does not ask the universe for impossible ingredients. Instead of exotic negative energy, their design uses ordinary ...

In late 2020, physicist Harold “Sonny” White, PhD, research director of the nonprofit Limitless Space Institute, noticed something peculiar—and familiar—in a circular pattern of data plots generated ...

After almost six decades and hundreds of years of future history, the fastest way to travel in the final frontier is still by firing up your faithful warp drive. Star Trek’s famous faster-than-light ...

Star Trek has long been credited with being at the forefront of technological—or treknological—advances, conceptualizing and showcasing high-tech gadgetry and scientific advancements that decades ...

THE CLOSEST NEIGHBORING STAR TO OUR SUN, a small red dwarf called Proxima Centauri, is about 4.24 light-years from Earth. That might not sound like much — but even for one of the fastest spacecraft ...

“To boldly go where no man has gone before.” With a single phrase, Star Trek changed science fiction history and inspired a whole generation of physicists using the concept of the warp drive. As it ...

Nearly 60 years ago, the original Star Trek series ignited a dream in the public’s imagination: that one day, people would travel the galaxy in ships propelled by faster-than-light “warp drives.” The ...
