FAQ?
Is warp drive possible?
But “Warp Drive” or any other term for faster-than-light travel still remains at the level of speculation. The bulk of scientific knowledge concludes that it’s impossible, especially when considering Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.
Could warp drives beat the galactic speed limit?
New research suggests that it might be possible to build warp drives and beat the galactic speed limit. Faster than light travel is the only way humans could ever get to other stars in a reasonable amount of time. The closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri. It is about 4.25 light-years away, or about 25 trillion miles (40 trillion kilometers).
What is a warp drive starship?
A Warp Drive is a theoretical device that would traverse distances by compressing space in front of it and expanding space behind it, resulting in effective faster-than-light travel. What happens if we create a Warp Drive Starship?
Could a real-world warp drive become a reality?
This change in design dramatically reduced the exotic materials and energy requirements of the original concept, seemingly providing researchers and science fiction fans alike at least a glimmer of hope that a real-world warp drive may one day become a reality.
