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]
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.
Scientists from the U.K. and Germany theorized that a warp drive that experiences a containment failure would produce a gravitational wave, otherwise known as a ripple in spacetime. The paper reads:
A revolutionary study introduces a warp drive model compatible with known physics, offering a scientifically grounded approach to faster-than-light travel.
In 2012, NASA reported that it was experimenting with the concept of warp drive and the loophole within Einstein's theory of relativity. [ clarification needed ] By 2014, it was announced that designer Mark Rademaker had created a CGI representation of a new vessel that would achieve warp velocity.
Elon Musk on Sunday embraced a racist and wildly conspiratorial election theory ― only to get fact-checked by fellow billionaire Mark Cuban, who used Musk’s own AI chatbot to do the job.. Musk ...
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, stated that the argument for the simulation theory is "quite strong". [46] In a podcast with Joe Rogan, Musk said "If you assume any rate of improvement at all, games will eventually be indistinguishable from reality" before concluding "that it's most likely we're in a simulation".
