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 Star Trek television series and films use the term "warp drive" to describe their method of faster-than-light travel. Neither the Alcubierre theory, nor anything similar, existed when the series was conceived—the term "warp drive" and general concept originated with John W. Campbell's 1931 science fiction novel Islands of Space. [47]
The idea of a warp drive is particularly appealing because it’s technically describable within general relativity, as the Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed back in 1994.
A revolutionary study introduces a warp drive model compatible with known physics, offering a scientifically grounded approach to faster-than-light travel.
Elon Reeve Musk (/ ˈ iː l ɒ n m ʌ s k /; born June 28, 1971) is a businessman and political figure known for his key roles in the space company SpaceX and the automotive company Tesla, Inc. who since January 2025 has served as Administrator of the Department of Government Efficiency, under the second Trump presidency.
Elon Musk continued to boost a debunked conspiracy theory Tuesday, posting and later deleting a meme on X that referred to a fringe, far-right claim that sought to connect members of the ...
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.
Elon Musk has stated a goal to turn around a first stage within 24 hours. [133] Musk remains convinced that this long-term goal can be met by SpaceX, [134] but has not stated that the goal would be achieved with the Falcon 9 design. Boosters B1019 and B1021 were retired and put on display. [when?] B1029 was also retired after the BulgariaSat-1 ...
