Then a smart guy by the name of Miguel Alcubierre from University of New Mexico wrote down a solution to Einsteins equation. Well, is it possible The answer from Classical GR point of view, For a long time people thought no. Traveling faster than the speed of light may be possible but not with the current models known to physics. In science fiction literature, shows, and films, warp drive is an alternative kind of propulsion to conventional rockets of today that allows spacecraft to travel faster than the speed of light, or superluminally - by warping and deforming the fabric of space-time around the vessel. Uno degli espedienti chiave della trama in quasi tutti gli episodi e i film di ' Star Trek ' è la capacità delle astronavi di viaggiare alla velocità della luce e oltre. Conceptually, we demonstrate that any warp drive, including the Alcubierre drive, is a shell of regular or exotic material moving inertially with a certain. All of us have seen a Warp drive in action in Star Trek. While this could make warp drive more than science fiction, it's best to take the new study with a grain of salt - because even if warp drive is now mathematically possible, there's no telling how long it could be until humans could use it to substantially shorten the time of travel between stars - the closest of which would take roughly four years to reach, at light-speed.Īpplied Physics has announced the first model of physical warp drive, after working in close contact with esteemed researchers in warp field mechanics - with endorsements from the renowned Theoretical Physicist Miguel Alcubierre, whose warp drive engine model served as the basis of this research.
