In the warp-drive literature, a shortage of imagination has never been the most recalcitrant hindrance. It has been one, savage demand: the demand of negative energy “exotic.” Recent theoretical ...

Casimir cavities are mysterious spaces between microscopic metal plates in a vacuum. Areas of diminished energy between the plates cause them to push toward each other, as if trying to fill the ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. This warp drive is a theoretical concept where a spacecraft travels faster than light by ...

A cluster of recent theoretical papers has laid out mathematical frameworks for propelling spacecraft at speeds ranging from ...

A research paper proposes a fully physically realized model for warp drive. This builds on an existing model that requires negative energy—an impossibility. The new model is exciting, but warp speed ...

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 ...

Groundbreaking new research has discovered a means by which a constant velocity warp drive could be possible without the need for exotic particles or negative energy. Without the fictional idea of a ...

“To boldly go where no man has gone before.” With a single phrase, Star Trek changed science fiction history and inspired a whole generation of physicists using the concept of the warp drive. As it ...

David Pares points to the Faraday cage that he uses in his warp drive experiments in the garage of his Aksarben-area home. David Pares believes he has the makings of a warp drive right here in his ...
