    Warp drives' may actually be possible someday, new study suggests

    Warp drives theoretically bypass this speed limit since the limit only applies to traveling through space. Instead the ship is in a warp bubble which is carried forward as the space behind it is expanded and the space in front of it is compressed. The ship itself doesn't move through space it...

    Warp drives' may actually be possible someday, new study suggests

    This isn't the first positive energy warp drive solution. Erik Lentz published a paper in the same publication in 2021 proposing a soliton warp drive solution which did away with the need for negative energy.

    Warp drives' may actually be possible someday, new study suggests

    Warp drives work by compressing the space in front of you and expanding that behind you. Hence your speed through space is either zero or pretty close to zero and thus the crew will not experience any time dilation effects.
