What if the biggest change in warp-drive research is not speed, but credibility? For decades, the idea sat in an awkward ...

A series of recent theoretical papers argue that some subluminal “warp-drive” spacetime designs could avoid the traditional requirement for “exotic” negative-energy matter, or at least reduce/shift ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity is a tool kit for solving problems involving gravity that connects mass and energy with deformations in spacetime. In turn, those spacetime deformations ...
