Research on warp drive has moved from a discussion of impossible ingredients to a problem of measurable geometry. A new theoretical approach by researchers affiliated with the University of Alabama in ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Aided by the gravitational pull of Venus and the sun, NASA's Parker Solar Probe became the fastest man-made object in history when ...

The idea of warp drive—the ability to travel faster than the speed of light—has fascinated humanity for decades. It began as a fictional concept in Star Trek and Star Wars, fueling imaginations 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 ...

“What would it take for ‘warp drive’ to stop meaning a screenplay shortcut and start meaning a solvable design problem?” In ...

A team of physicists has discovered that it’s possible to build a real, actual, physical warp drive and not break any known rules of physics. One caveat: the vessel doing the warping can’t exceed the ...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Applied Physics®, a multidisciplinary group of international scientists, published a milestone study in the prestigious Classical and Quantum Gravity journal, ...

In 1994, Miguel Alcubierre was able to construct a valid solution to the equations of general relativity that enable a warp drive. But now we need to tackle the rest of relativity: How do we arrange ...

Speculative new research outlines a method for detecting extraterrestrial civilizations: by catching the gravitational waves produced by the collapse, or failure, of their warp drives. Sounds wild, ...
