Whether it s jumping to hyperspace engaging the warp drive or opening the stargate most stories about interstellar.

Faster than light travel. The idea of faster than light travel has been one of the greatest staples in science fiction for as long as the genre has been around. In the universe of star trek humanity ventures out into the galaxy on 5 april 2063 with the first ever journey on a ship capable of faster than light travel the newly invented warp drive not only lets humans explore the cosmos but attracts the attention of vulcans and brings about our first contact with an alien species. That impasse might not last forever though according to a new. The alcubierre drive alcubierre warp drive or alcubierre metric referring to metric tensor is a speculative idea based on a solution of einstein s field equations in general relativity as proposed by theoretical physicist miguel alcubierre by which a spacecraft could achieve apparent faster than light travel if a configurable energy density field lower than that of vacuum that is.

Traveling faster than the speed of light is a staple of science fiction. Faster than light also superluminal or ftl communications and travel are the conjectural propagation of information or matter faster than the speed of light. The idea of traveling to other planets with terrestrial. Faster than light travel then remains a fantasy at the moment.

But while that may sound disappointing light is anything but. The special theory of relativity implies that only particles with zero rest mass may travel at the speed of light. While these particles are traveling faster than light does in water they re not actually breaking the cosmic speed limit of 299 792 kilometres per. Tachyons particles whose speed exceeds that of light have been hypothesized but their existence would violate.
