A team of physicists has discovered that it’s possible to build a real, actual, physical warp drive and not break any known rules of physics. One caveat: the vessel doing the warping can’t exceed the ...

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 ...

Warp drive has long been a narrative shortcut for science fiction, but a new generation of physicists is treating it as a serious, if distant, engineering problem. Instead of asking whether ...

The pursuit of faster-than-light travel has long been a staple of science fiction, but recent advancements in theoretical physics suggest that warp drives could one day become a reality. Scientists ...

In late 2020, physicist Harold “Sonny” White, PhD, research director of the nonprofit Limitless Space Institute, noticed something peculiar—and familiar—in a circular pattern of data plots generated ...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Applied Physics®, a multidisciplinary group of international scientists, published a milestone study in the prestigious Classical and Quantum Gravity journal, ...

Applied Physics unveils a new type of warp drive—a theoretical method of space travel that complies with general relativity and operates at a constant subluminal speed without requiring unphysical ...

Nearly 60 years ago, the original Star Trek series ignited a dream in the public’s imagination: that one day, people would travel the galaxy in ships propelled by faster-than-light “warp drives.” The ...
