A warp drive or a drive enabling space warp is a fictional superluminal spacecraft propulsion system in many science fiction works, most notably Star Trek, and a subject of ongoing physics research. Scientists Haven't 'Created' a Warp Bubble, But They're a Bit Closer to Testing One. Despite recent reports that scientists have “accidentally created a warp bubble,” it looks like warp speed is still a few baby steps away. Warp drive (also called warp technology) is hypothetical technology created in science fiction. It is a way of moving objects faster than the speed of light. In the Star Trek universe, for example, the measurement of the speed that the spaceship is moving is called the warp factor. You can't go faster than warp 10 because it is infinite velocity where you occupy all points in the universe at the same time. In TOS when they did so, it was on the old warp scsle where warp 14 is not warp 9 on the new scale. In Voyager, they discovered a new forn of dilithium that remained stable at transwarp speeds. A team of physicists has reported the accidental discovery of a real-world "warp bubble" whilst observing the structure of Casimir cavities a small step towards building a potential warp drive. The impact itself would not be much different than the ship running into the planet at full impulse, but the resulting anti-matter explosion from the warp core would be enough to obliterate most life on the face of the planet, possibly burning away the atmosphere. Creating a warp bubble for a 656-foot-wide spacecraft traveling at the speed of light requires roughly 100 times the energy contained in the mass of Jupiter, said Lentz. That's about 30 orders of magnitude higher than the power of modern nuclear reactors. General Relativity states that space and time are fused and that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. General relativity also describes how mass and energy warp spacetime hefty objects like stars and black holes curve spacetime around them. “Star Trek” took this idea and named it the warp drive. Cruising speed warp 5, 125c. Gets you to Alpha Centauri in about 12.5 days. Which in normal speed takes about 44,000 years! And if the speed of the warp speed is at 20 you will be able to reach alpha Centauri in just 4 minutes!!
