Is a Warp Drive Possible?

WAIT—A WARP DRIVE IS ACTUALLY POSSIBLE? <break time="0.5s" /> In 1994. Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre

said… YES. He figured it out. <break time="0.4s" /> Here's the trick. You don't move the ship.

You move SPACE itself. Squeeze it in front. Stretch it behind. The ship rides the wave.

Technically never breaking light speed. But here's the problem. You need NEGATIVE MASS.

And INSANE energy. Like… more energy than the entire universe has. So uh.

Not happening. But maybe someday?
