Two physicists from the University of Queensland in Australia recently laid out a model for studying hypothetical time travel. Their work expands on what’s called the Alcubierre spacetime, first ...

In a surprising paper, scientists say they’ve nailed down a physical model for a warp drive, which flies in the face of what we’ve long thought about the crazy concept of warp speed travel: that it ...

Arvix – Metamaterial-based model of the Alcubierre warp drive by Igor I. Smolyaninov of the University of Maryland. Alcubierre imagined a small volume of flat spacetime in which a spacecraft sits, ...

A few months ago, physicist Harold White stunned the aeronautics world when he announced that he and his team at NASA had begun work on the development of a faster-than-light warp drive. His proposed ...

In what is known as the Alcubierre drive – which was first proposed in 1994 – a warp drive could be created by wrapping a ship in negative energy and then manipulating spacetime. By expanding ...

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 ...
