Scientists Announces Space Warp Drive is Now Possible: NASA Might Apply it for Space Exploration

A pair of researchers at Applied Physics has created what they describe as the first general model of a warp drive, a model for a spacecraft that could travel faster than a speed of light without actually breaking physics laws. The warp drive flies in the face of what we have long thought about as the crazy concept of warp speed travel: that it requires exotic, negative forces.

PhysOrg reports that scientists Alexey Bobrick and Gianni Martire have written a paper describing their ideas for a warp drive and have published it in IOPs "Classical and Quantum Gravity." Bobrick and Martire start with an Alcubierre warp drive concept, a concept developed by Miguel Alcubierre in 1994.

Alcubierre envisioned it as a spacecraft that could contract space-time in front of the vehicle while expanding it behind the craft. But such a ship would require a massive amount of negative energy that would not be feasible for a real spacecraft.

Theoretically speaking, warp drive bends and change the shape of space-time to exaggerate differences in time and distance that, under some circumstances, could see travelers move across space faster than the speed of light.

Warp Drive Theoretical

While near Light Speed is Achievable but mostly ignored.

likely due to lack of weapon delivery potential.

Warp Drive Possible

Well, as far as that goes, pink unicorns that fart flower-scented rainbows are possible ...

FTA (underline/bold emphasis & brackets added):

The trick is finding a way to compress a planet-sized mass to a manageable spacecraft-module size to use its gravity. Because of the implied difficulties [Implied difficulties?! Implied?! You mean apart from the rather obvious explicit ones? - OB], a warp drive created from the researchers' model could not be built today, but it does suggest that someday it might be possible.

IOW: The "researchers" haven't accomplished anything that science fiction authors haven't been doing since science fiction became a thing.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. But it is what it is and it ain't what it ain't ...

If warp speed does end up happening, I'll be using it to get off this planet.

Hyperjumps, wormholes, and warp drives sound like science fiction, but they’re actually based on real science! Though I believe out of the three, warp drives are the most plausible. The math seems to agree. Today I want to tell you about a new way of analysing and visualizing warp drives.

Some physicists recently suggested we should look for warp drive signals to find aliens. I had a look at the paper and have a few things to say about it...

This is old news. We achieved warp speed in developing, producing, and mandating the covid vaccine.
