superluminal travel

Superluminal travel refers to faster-than-light movement, exceeding the speed at which light travels in a vacuum (about 186,282 miles per second). According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, nothing with mass can reach or surpass this speed. However, some theoretical concepts, like warp drives or wormholes, suggest mechanisms that could allow for effective faster-than-light travel by distorting spacetime rather than moving objects independently faster than light. These ideas are speculative and face significant scientific and technological challenges, but they offer intriguing possibilities for faster interstellar exploration without violating known physics laws.
