A New Study Reveals a Warp Drive That Actually Operates Within Known Physics


This theoretical model for space-time manipulation aligns with established laws. Imagine that.

Warp drives have been the dream of of spacefarers ever since they first graced the pages of science fiction novels, but real-world attempts have often traipsed into areas of exotic physics like negative energy and superluminal matter. “This study changes the conversation about warp drives,” lead author Jared Fuchs, a senior scientist at the research firm Applied Physics (AP), said in a press statement. “Such a design would still require a considerable amount of energy, [but] it demonstrates that warp effects can be achieved without exotic forms of matter,” Helmerich, who was also a co-author on this new study, said in a press statement.
