A new study suggests a warp drive solution achieving sub-luminal speeds while meeting energy demands, challenging previous notions.
According to the theoretical Alcubierre warp drive concept, a spacecraft could appear to travel faster than light by contracting space in front of it and expanding space behind it.
According to researchers, the solution combines a stable outer layer of matter with a distribution of shift vectors closely resembling established warp drive models like the Alcubierre metric.The Advanced Propulsion Laboratory at the think tank Applied Physics, home to some of the world’s leading physicists, has been exploring warp drives for years.
“This study changes the conversation about warp drives. By demonstrating a first-of-its-kind model, we’ve shown that warp drives might not be relegated to science fiction,” said lead author Jared Fuchs, a PhD candidate at the University of Alabama, Huntsville. The model, called the “Constant-Velocity Subluminal Warp Drive,” does away with the requirement for the “exotic” or negative energy sources that researchers previously suggested.
