A warp drive would manipulate space-time itself to move a starship, taking advantage of a loophole in the laws of physics that prevent anything from moving faster than light. A concept for a real ...

A collapsing warp bubble like the one seen in Star Trek would set space ringing with gravitational waves. New research "boldly goes" where physicists have never gone before, suggesting what would ...

Given the distances in space, traveling to the nearest star would take years (if we could go at light speed). Going across a galaxy or to more distant galaxies would take years and many lifetimes.

Jumping from star system to star system with the push of a spacecraft’s warp drive throttle is a kind of Star Trek-inspired future tech that has very little in common with space travel of today.

Astronomers have watched a pulsar some 25,000 light-years from Earth slip from view, swallowed by a warp in the fabric of ... of West Virginia University, told Space.com. [The Strangest Things ...

He discovered that it was possible to build a warp drive through a clever manipulation of spacetime, arranging it so that space in front of a vessel gets scrunched up and the space behind the ...

You may have seen warp drives in series like Star Trek. A warp drive is a hypothetical form of technology that compresses the space in front of a starship and expands it behind. While nothing can ...

This could create a "warp bubble," protecting space travelers within it as they cover light-years of interstellar or even intergalactic space in an instant. While it may sound like a fantastical ...

Enter: the warp drive. While such a drive pushes the ... elephant in the room when talking about the far future of human space travel. Colonizing other planets is relatively doable with known ...

A new study appears to have legitimized the popular science fiction belief that “warp drives” — known by nerds as super-powered space engines from “Star Trek” — may actually exist and ...
