New warp drive models shift star travel from fantasy to physics
What if the biggest change in warp-drive research is not speed, but credibility? For decades, the idea sat in an awkward ...
The canonical form of the Alcubierre warp drive metric is considered to gain insight into the mathematical mechanism triggering the effect. A parallel with the Chung-Freese spacetime metric is drawn ...

Warp drive math dropped a major barrier, but the energy problem remains
Warp drive has moved a little farther out of science fiction and a little deeper into physics. A new round of theoretical ...
In 1994, physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a radical technology that would allow faster than light travel: the warp drive, a hypothetical way to skirt around the universe’s ultimate speed limit by ...
Inspired by Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek, physicist Miguel Alcubierre set out to transform one of the cornerstones of science fiction iconography, the Warp Drive, into reality. But is it even possible ...
In 1994, physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a radical technology that would allow faster-than-light travel: the warp drive, a hypothetical way to skirt around the universe’s ultimate speed limit by ...
