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 ...

For the first time, a group of physicists has written down a warp drive concept that does not ask the universe for impossible ...

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 ...

Groundbreaking new research has discovered a means by which a constant velocity warp drive could be possible without the need for exotic particles or negative energy. Without the fictional idea of a ...

New research "boldly goes" where physicists have never gone before, suggesting what would happen to the space around a failing warp drive. In addition, a team from the Queen Mary University of London, ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." On one particular Friday night in 1992, Miguel Alcubierre couldn’t stop thinking about Star Trek. Every ...

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 ...

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 ...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Applied Physics®, a multidisciplinary group of international scientists and engineers, announced the groundbreaking launch of Warp Factory— a toolkit designed for the ...

“Scotty, I need warp speed in 3 minutes or we’re all dead.” This command by first generation “Star Trek” Captain James Kirk in the fictional 2020s is a famous line in modern science fiction. It’s the ...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Scientists at Applied Physics are excited to announce they have recently constructed the first model of physical warp drives. Applied Physics is an independent group of ...
