The Alcubierre drive ([alkuˈβjere]) is a speculative warp drive idea according to which a spacecraft could achieve apparent faster-than-light travel by contracting space in front of it and expanding space behind it, under the assumption that a configurable energy-density field lower than that of vacuum (that is, negative mass) could be created.
6 lut 2024 · A faster-than-light “observer” would take general relativity to new quantum places. In new research, the lead scientist explains why just one space and one time aren’t enough for this...
23 kwi 2021 · If humanity wants to travel between stars, people are going to need to travel faster than light. New research suggests that it might be possible to build warp drives and beat the galactic speed...
29 maj 2024 · If a superluminal—meaning faster than the speed of light—warp drive like Alcubierre’s worked, it would revolutionize humanity’s endeavors across the universe, allowing us, perhaps, to reach...
15 sie 2023 · In order to travel at faster-than-light speeds, a warp drive would have to expand space behind a spacecraft and contract space in front, creating a warp bubble that surrounds the vessel.
23 maj 2024 · The goal of a warp drive is to get from A to B in the time between commercial breaks, which typically involves faster-than-light motion. But special relativity expressly forbids speeds faster...
4 sie 2024 · New research explored the gravitational waves emitted during a theoretical warp drive failure. The findings suggest that although current technology cannot detect such signals, future advancements may allow us to use these signals to probe deeper into the nature of spacetime and the universe.
