Most of these drives rely on exotic ideas like negative energy or superluminal matter, and while non-profits like Applied Physics are putting up money for research into warp drives based in real ...
A revolutionary study introduces a warp drive model compatible with known physics, offering a scientifically grounded approach to faster-than-light travel.
Warp drive, or a drive enabling space warp, is one of several ways of travelling through space found in science fiction. [3] It has been often discussed as being conceptually similar to hyperspace. [3] [4]: 238–239 A warp drive is a device that distorts the shape of the space-time continuum.
The Alcubierre drive ([alkuˈβjere]) is a speculative warp drive idea according to which a spacecraft could achieve apparent faster-than-light travel by contracting space in front of it and expanding space behind it, under the assumption that a configurable energy-density field lower than that of vacuum (that is, negative mass) could be created.
Certain kinds of hypothetical spacetimes called warp drives, which in a sense can be said to admit a kind of faster-than-light inertia-less and time-dilation-less travel, have been studied by some theoretical physicists since about 1990. This category contains articles related to such theoretical speculations.

A reactionless drive is a hypothetical device producing motion without the exhaust of a propellant.A propellantless drive is not necessarily reactionless when it constitutes an open system interacting with external fields; but a reactionless drive is a particular case of a propellantless drive that is a closed system, presumably in contradiction with the law of conservation of momentum.
