Alcubierre drive

But in this case, the Alcubierre drive vessel is not able to go dashing around the galaxy at will.

However, several objections raised against the Alcubierre drive appear to rule out the possibility of actually using it in any practical fashion.

Theoretically, open curved space can be used to generate warp fields for an Alcubierre drive.

Alcubierre drive, a hypothetical means of propulsion also called a "warp drive"

Harold White became popular when he began publishing proposals to build a prototype of an Alcubierre drive.

A wide variety of imaginary propulsion methods are postulated, though not necessarily based on the Alcubierre drive or any other physical theory.

One such distortion is the Alcubierre drive, which can be thought of as producing a ripple in spacetime that carries an object along with it.

Coule argues that an analogous objection will apply to any proposed method of constructing an Alcubierre drive.

The Heim-Dröscher theory is not to be confused with such metrics as Alcubierre drive.

Alcubierre drive (a form of Warp drive)

Since the Alcubierre drive manipulates spacetime, it is the closest theoretical space travel engine to interdimensional travel.

In 1994, physicist Miguel Alcubierre created the theoretical Alcubierre drive, which used a similar theory.

The Alcubierre drive is the only feasible, albeit highly hypothetical, concept, that is able to impulse a spacecraft to speeds faster than light.

Stephen Baxter mentions Alcubierre drive theory in his short story collection 'Vacuum Diagrams'.

Thus, the Alcubierre drive does not contradict the conventional claim that relativity forbids a slower-than-light object to accelerate to faster-than-light speeds.

A theoretical type of starship engine, the Alcubierre drive, emulates superluminal travel by manipulating the fabric of spacetime.

(See: warp drive; hyperspace; Alcubierre drive.)

Thus, according to Coule, an Alcubierre drive is required in order to build an Alcubierre drive.

Examples of FTL proposals are the Alcubierre drive, and the traversable wormhole, although the physical plausibility of some of these solutions is uncertain.

If humanity does gain access to a large amount of energy, on the order of the mass-energy of entire planets, it may eventually become feasible to construct Alcubierre drives.

A theoretical solution for faster-than-light travel which models the warp drive concept, called the Alcubierre drive, was formulated by physicist Miguel Alcubierre in 1994.

In this, he describes the Alcubierre drive, a theoretical means of traveling faster than light that does not violate the physical principle that nothing can locally travel faster than light.

Distributions of negative energy density comprise what is often referred to as exotic matter, and allow for several intrgiuing possibilities: for example, the Alcubierre drive potentially allows for faster-than-light space travel.

Near Gunnison, Colorado, Project Nimrod builds a massive interstellar spacecraft from conjoined and modified Ares rockets, Saturn hardware, and Space shuttle components that is capable of superluminal travel using an Alcubierre drive.

Supposedly the engines achieve 200% fuel efficiency (apparently violating the law of conservation of mass) by moving the entire universe around the ship, rather than moving the ship itself, a parody/homage to the "warp drive" technology of Star Trek, i.e. an Alcubierre Drive.
