Scientists Announces Space Warp Drive is Now Possible: NASA Might Apply it for Space Exploration
5 March 2021, 7:00 am EST By Luis Smith Tech Times
A pair of researchers at Applied Physics has created what they describe as the first general model of a warp drive, a model for a spacecraft that could travel faster than a speed of light without actually breaking physics laws. The warp drive flies in the face of what we have long thought about as the crazy concept of warp speed travel: that it requires exotic, negative forces.
PhysOrg reports that scientists Alexey Bobrick and Gianni Martire have written a paper describing their ideas for a warp drive and have published it in IOPs "Classical and Quantum Gravity." Bobrick and Martire start with an Alcubierre warp drive concept, a concept developed by Miguel Alcubierre in 1994.
Alcubierre envisioned it as a spacecraft that could contract space-time in front of the vehicle while expanding it behind the craft. But such a ship would require a massive amount of negative energy that would not be feasible for a real spacecraft.
Theoretically speaking, warp drive bends and change the shape of space-time to exaggerate differences in time and distance that, under some circumstances, could see travelers move across space faster than the speed of light.
