Alcubierre said, if spacetime could be contracted ... can't exist in anywhere near the volumes needed to create a warp drive. But in 2021 another scientist, Erik Lentz, came up with an alternative ...

The idea of traveling faster than the speed of light (FTL) has been a popular idea long before [Alcubierre] came up ... The gotcha with detecting an FTL warp drive is that it is undetectable ...

Alcubierre came up with a theory that explains ... NASA actually has a theoretical concept for a warp drive that could take a spacecraft to Alpha Centauri, a star system 4.3 light-years away ...

To construct a warp drive, we'd need 10 times more negative energy than all of the positive energy in the universe. In 1994, Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre decided to figure out ...

A minuscule amount of Casimir-effect negative energy isn't enough to power a warp drive, though — and it may not work out anyway. Whether an Alcubierre warp drive is allowed is ultimately a ...
