If humanity wants to be a spacefaring species, it needs to figure out how to travel faster than the speed of light. Now, a new online toolkit — backed up by a $500,000 grant — will help engineers ...

Somehow, we all know how a warp drive works. You're in your spaceship and you need to get to another star. So you press a button or flip a switch or pull a lever and your ship just goes fast. Like ...

There have been some awesome inventions in the world of science fiction over the years. Whether it's the Tardis from "Dr Who" and its miraculous traveling abilities or the teleporting talents of the ...

This documentary explores whether warp drives could ever move from science fiction to reality, examining the theories that might let humanity travel faster than light.

A team of physicists has discovered that it’s possible to build a real, actual, physical warp drive and not break any known rules of physics. One caveat: the vessel doing the warping can’t exceed the ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity is a tool kit for solving problems involving gravity that connects mass and energy with deformations in spacetime. In turn, those spacetime deformations ...

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 ...

To construct a warp drive, we'd need 10 times more negative energy than all of the positive energy in the universe. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.
