A series of recent theoretical papers argue that some subluminal “warp-drive” spacetime designs could avoid the traditional requirement for “exotic” negative-energy matter, or at least reduce/shift ...

The dream of a warp drive, a futuristic propulsion system that could allow us to cover astronomical distances at the speed of light or faster, is still alive. While the idea has historically been ...

“This study changes the conversation about warp drives,” lead author Jared Fuchs said, and that claim captures why the latest ...

What some might call science fiction, the University of Houston-Victoria’s provost is attempting to turn into truth. Chance Glenn is boldly attempting to go where no person has gone before and make it ...

In the 1990s, Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a new kind of hypothetical warp drive that would allow a spacecraft to travel faster than the speed of light. To pull off that ...

In Star Trek, dilithium crystals — whatever those are — are critical to the operation of a starship’s warp drives. But a Texas professor thinks he can make a baby step towards a warp drive using ...

What if I told you there’s a prototype German engine that could enable travel between galaxies, in futuristic spaceships that break the laws of physics with the phenomenon of “time warping”? It sounds ...

You know that scene in the film Contact where the “Machine” is spooling up, its three spinning rings kicking out crazy light and an electromagnetic field powerful enough to pitch nearby Navy ...

Interstellar travel may still be in the realms of fantasy, but a NASA team is working on physics theories that might one day make it possible guy norris / los angeles Marc Millis, outgoing director of ...
