Humans are one (small) step closer to traveling at faster-than-light speeds.

“Research on warp drive now has a more focused target: the engineering of spacetime that doesn’t rely on negative energy.” ...

“Prior models required a matter-energy content that was ‘unphysical,’ meaning it had features we don’t see in the regular ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Now, a new study led by Harold “Sonny” White—former NASA scientist and leader of the experimental Eagleworks laboratory at Johnson Space ...

There’s always an enormous elephant in the room when talking about the far future of human space travel. Colonizing other planets is relatively doable with known physics, but if humans have any hope ...

In 1994, physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a radical technology that would allow faster-than-light travel: the warp drive, a hypothetical way to skirt around the universe’s ultimate speed limit by ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity is a tool kit for solving problems involving gravity that connects mass and energy with deformations in spacetime. In turn, those spacetime deformations ...

Starship tech in Star Trek is weird. For example, what keeps complicated warp drives from blowing up and ruining the space-time continuum? It turns out that one very small piece of tech that’s been ...

If humanity ever wants to escape the solar system, we’re going to need a faster-than-light engine. Enter: the warp drive. While such a drive pushes the limits of known physics, a new study ponders ...
