For decades, movies and television series have sparked curiosity about the future, blending science with fiction in ways that inspire real-world innovation.
Among the most intriguing ideas is warp drive—a concept that challenges Einstein’s Theory of Relativity by suggesting faster-than-light travel might be possible by warping space and time.
In 1994, theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre introduced the idea of a space-time bubble that could contract distances ahead of a spacecraft while expanding them behind it.
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 energy requirements. READ MORE...
