    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zefram_Cochrane

    As first mentioned in Star Trek: The Original Series, and further established by the events of Star Trek: First Contact, Cochrane is the first human to create a warp drive system, and in 2063, his successful warp speed flight draws the attention of the Vulcans, leading to humanity's first official contact with an alien race.

  3. Warp drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_drive

    The working principle is explained in more detail in the Star Trek Encyclopedia. This variant of a warp drive uses spatial folding instead of a warp field and allows an instant movement with nearly infinite velocity. [25] Star Trek has also introduced a so-called Transwarp concept, but without a fixed definition. [24]

    In-universe, the sentence was attributed in the Star Trek: Enterprise pilot episode "Broken Bow" to warp drive inventor Dr. Zefram Cochrane in a recorded speech during the dedication of the facility devoted to designing the first engine capable of reaching Warp 5 — thus making interstellar exploration practical for humans — in the year 2119 ...

    The reference work Star Trek Fact Files indicates this limit at warp factor 9.99. This is the highest conventional warp speed mentioned for a spaceship (Borg cube). Also in the episode Threshold (Star Trek Voyager) the warp factor 9.99 is suggested as the limit. This is the last warp factor mentioned before the leap takes place in the transwarp ...

    The vessel he designed was the IXS Enterprise, named after the famed ship of the Star Trek franchise. The energy required to power the warp drive, according to White, [ 3 ] is approximately the negative (negative energy is required for the Alcubierre drive concept to function) mass–energy equivalence of Voyager 1 , which has a mass of ...

    Dr. Tolian Soran (Star Trek Generations) – El-Aurian scientist desperate to return to the Nexus; Mr. Spock (Star Trek: The Original Series) – science officer and second-in-command of the Enterprise; Dr. Mohinder Suresh – professor of genetics and parapsychology from India; B'Elanna Torres (Star Trek: Voyager) – chief engineer of Voyager

  9. 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.
