Physicists discovered that the famous ‘Star Trek’ spaceship got a lot right about designing a ship to jump from galaxy to ...

The concept of a warp drive has become a cultural icon ever since Star Trek's Captain Kirk said, "Warp Drive, Mr. Scott," to initiate faster-than-light travel for the Starship Enterprise.

Warp drive has quietly shifted from pure fantasy to a live topic in serious physics, with new models showing how spacetime ...

Warp drive has long been shorthand for “pure fantasy,” a narrative device that lets starships hop between stars without ...

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 ...

Dr. Richard Obousy describes an advanced space-propulsion concept based on modifying the local cosmological constant to facilitate an expansion/contraction of spacetime around a spacecraft to create ...

I'll be honest — this is not the post I wanted to write. When NASA released their new renders of a hypothetical future faster-than-light spaceship, I wanted to believe that such a craft was mere ...

The canonical form of the Alcubierre warp drive metric is considered to gain insight into the mathematical mechanism triggering the effect. A parallel with the Chung-Freese spacetime metric is drawn ...

HOUSTON — A warp drive to achieve faster-than-light travel — a concept popularized in television's Star Trek — may not be as unrealistic as once thought, scientists say. A warp drive would manipulate ...

It's always a welcome thing to learn that ideas that are commonplace in science fiction have a basis in science fact. Cryogenic freezers, laser guns, robots, silicate implants… and let's not forget ...
