But other calculations say that applies only in limited cases and that if you ramp up the warp engine slowly enough, you'll be fine. Yet more calculations sidestep all of this and just look at how ...

Warp drives are one of the most common types of engine in science fiction. Most of them work similarly and are somewhat based on established scientific principles, even if they are hardly realistic.

If humanity ever wants to escape the solar system, we’re going to need a faster-than-light engine. Enter: the warp drive. While such a drive pushes the limits of known physics, a new study ...

In other words, the idea of using an actually tiny protostar as some kind of core for a warp engine is new to Trek canon. In the loosey-goosey physics of Star Trek, warp drive is made possible by ...

Warp Factory provides an online playground for researchers to test warp engine ideas. “Physicists can now generate and refine an array of warp drive designs with just a few clicks, allowing us ...

Sure, sometimes Warp engines have malfunctioned, crystals refracted, and Scotty just can't give it any more than what he's got. But, by and large, the constant of Star Trek is the ability for its ...

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 ...
