The Alcubierre drive ([alkuˈβjere]) is a speculative warp drive idea according to which a spacecraft could achieve apparent faster-than-light travel by contracting space in front of it and expanding space behind it, under the assumption that a configurable energy-density field lower than that of vacuum (that is, negative mass) could be created.

Gravity manipulation and amplification is the key that unlocks the Milky Way galaxy and the rest of the universe. By navigating the heavens on a Starship using an Amplified Gravity Field Propulsion System, man will no longer be bound to a portion of our Sun’s Solar System.

May 24, 2024 · Physicists have figured out how a warp drive could work—even if it's more useful for our understanding of gravity than interstellar travel. A team of physicists has discovered that it’s...

Mar 4, 2021 · Now a group of physicists have put together the first proposal for a physical warp drive, based on a concept devised back in the '90s. And they say it shouldn't break any of laws of physics.

The think tank's latest work focuses on a similar solution, theorizing a warp drive that can manipulate space-time to behave as though reacting gravitationally to normal matter. It consists of a stable shell of matter with, as the researchers describe , a "modified shift vector on its interior".

Apr 20, 2021 · We present the first general model for subliminal positive-energy, spherically symmetric warp drives; construct superluminal warp-drive solutions which satisfy quantum inequalities; provide optimizations for the Alcubierre metric that decrease the negative energy requirements by two orders of magnitude; and introduce a warp drive spacetime in ...

Jun 4, 2024 · In this work, we study the signatures arising from a warp drive "containment failure", assuming a stiff equation of state for the fluid. We compute the emitted gravitational-wave signal and track the energy fluxes of the fluid.

Feb 12, 2021 · In this study, we develop a model of a general warp drive spacetime in classical relativity that encloses all existing warp drive definitions and allows for new metrics without the most serious issues present in the Alcubierre solution.

May 12, 2024 · A new study suggests a warp drive solution achieving sub-luminal speeds while meeting energy demands, challenging previous notions.

Jun 21, 2024 · Scientists say they can detect the presence of advanced propulsion systems through gravitational waves. If humanity ever wants to escape the solar system, we’re going to need a faster-than-light...
