It takes advantage of a quirk in the cosmological code that allows for the expansion and contraction of space-time, and could allow for hyper-fast travel between interstellar destinations. Essentially, the empty space behind a starship would be made to expand rapidly, pushing the craft in a forward direction — passengers would perceive it as movement despite the complete lack of acceleration. Scientists speculate that such a drive could result in "speeds" that could take a spacecraft to Alpha Centauri in a mere two weeks — even though the system is 4.3 light-years away. i09.com Read more here: http://ift.tt/QlP2Co The warp drive: hyper-fast travel within general relativity: http://ift.tt/Uk6PXB New York Times http://ift.tt/1bL3PjW 100 Year Starship project http://100yss.org/ Results of his Alcubierre Drive rethink: http://ift.tt/UhZkjJ Music credit: mik300z https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DRRi7zK5RM Vangelis - Echoes - length 7:51 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DRRi7zK5RM .
