It is even possible to fit a warp drive within the equations of Einstein-and still make it practically unavailable. Over ...

Imagination has never been the most intractable problem in the physics of warp drive; it has been bookkeeping. The Alcubierre concept of 1994, the celebrated one, fits in the general relativity theory ...

A team of physicists has reported the accidental discovery of a real-world "warp bubble" whilst observing the structure of Casimir cavities – a small step towards building a potential warp drive. The ...

Despite recent reports that scientists had built a real warp bubble, it looks like warp speed is still a few baby steps away. But all hope is not lost: we sat down with Dr. Harold G. "Sunny" White, ...

In the 1990s, Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a new kind of hypothetical warp drive that would allow a spacecraft to travel faster than the speed of light. To pull off that ...

Late last year, it emerged that a small team of NASA researchers were working on warp drive technology in the lab. Led by Harold "Sonny" White, the team devised a variation of the Alcubierre warp ...
