A series of recent theoretical papers argue that some subluminal “warp-drive” spacetime designs could avoid the traditional requirement for “exotic” negative-energy matter, or at least reduce/shift ...

Researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville have proposed a mathematical framework for a warp drive that operates without exotic matter, a requirement that has long made such concepts seem ...

Almost all of the information in this post is from the Harold White paper “Warp Field Mechanics 101” and a presentation he made on September, 2011 at the 100 Year Starship Symposium which were all ...

Arvix paper contends the spacetime distortions resulting from the experimentally obtainable electric field of a parallel plate capacitor configuration cannot be detected by the White-Juday Warp Field ...

Inspired by Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek, physicist Miguel Alcubierre set out to transform one of the cornerstones of science fiction iconography, the Warp Drive, into reality. But is it even possible ...

Captain Kirk and his crew may someday be followed on their travels across the universe at warp speed by the rest of us. If scientists meeting for a one-day international conference next week have ...
