As well as predicting that warp drives are physically possible, Einstein's theories say that nothing can move faster than the speed of light - approximately 300,000 kilometres per second.

His warp drive solution to general relativity employs a region of perfectly flat space. In front of that bubble is a region of compressed space, and behind it is a region of expanded space.

The startup behind the AI-powered terminal is launching tools to help programmers collaborate with AI agents—offering an ...

While warp drives are a great sci-fi narrative tool, the real-world physics are a bit more complicated. Most of these drives rely on exotic ideas like negative energy or superluminal matter, ...

Warp drives' may actually be possible someday, new study suggests : Read moreThis isn't the first positive energy warp drive solution. Erik Lentz published a paper in the same publication in 2021 ...

Warp drives are among the more plausible of science fiction concepts, at least from a physics perspective. Now, a group of scientists and engineers has launched open-source software that lets you ...

The goal of a warp drive is to get from A to B in the time between commercial breaks, which typically involves faster-than-light motion. But special relativity expressly forbids speeds faster than ...

New warp drive concept does twist space, doesn’t move us very fast While it won't make a useful spaceship engine, it may tell us more about relativity.

“Warp Factory is a specialized toolkit designed for analyzing spacetimes related to warp drives,” say Helmerich and co. They put it through its paces by characterizing the stress-energy tensors of a ...

To construct a warp drive, we'd need 10 times more negative energy than all of the positive energy in the universe. In 1994, Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre decided to figure out ...

According to scientists, a real-world 'warp drive' could allow spaceships to jump between galaxies just like in Star Wars.
