His model, known as the Alcubierre drive, suggested a loophole in relativity that could, in theory, allow faster-than-light travel. Yet, most scientists dismissed it as impossible due to extreme ...

Theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre developed the Alcubierre drive in 1994, a theory suggesting that a bubble within ...

A scientific discovery that could transform the study of warp drive is now under wraps at the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

A minuscule amount of Casimir-effect negative energy isn't enough to power a warp drive, though — and it may not work out anyway. Whether an Alcubierre warp drive is allowed is ultimately a ...

In 1994, Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre decided to figure out if the "warp drive" from his favorite science fiction shows was possible. Amazingly, he found a way to make it feasible, ...

To construct a warp drive, we'd need 10 times more negative energy than all of the positive energy in the universe. In 1994, Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre decided to figure out ...
