From Alcubierre’s warp bubble to quantum scale experiments and gravitational wave signatures scientists are quietly building the theoretical and experimental foundations of faster than light travel.

For more than half a century, faster than light travel has lived in the realm of television scripts and paperback science fiction. Now a cluster of theoretical breakthroughs is forcing physicists to ...

The dream of a warp drive, a futuristic propulsion system that could allow us to cover astronomical distances at the speed of light or faster, is still alive. While the idea has historically been ...

What some might call science fiction, the University of Houston-Victoria’s provost is attempting to turn into truth. Chance Glenn is boldly attempting to go where no person has gone before and make it ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. This warp drive is a theoretical concept where a spacecraft travels faster than light by ...

In the 1990s, Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a new kind of hypothetical warp drive that would allow a spacecraft to travel faster than the speed of light. To pull off that ...

Researchers just announced the creation of a new kind of simulated black hole. The “black hole” is made primarily out of sound waves and glycerin, and bends light in the same ways that the intense ...

In Star Trek, dilithium crystals — whatever those are — are critical to the operation of a starship’s warp drives. But a Texas professor thinks he can make a baby step towards a warp drive using ...

David Pares points to the Faraday cage that he uses in his warp drive experiments in the garage of his Aksarben-area home. David Pares believes he has the makings of a warp drive right here in his ...
