Warp Drive

Warp drive is a theoretical concept from science fiction that proposes faster-than-light travel by distorting spacetime. It involves contracting space in front of a spacecraft and expanding it behind, effectively enabling the ship to move between distant points without violating the speed of light locally. This method allows travel across vast cosmic distances much more quickly than conventional propulsion, but it remains speculative and faces significant scientific and technological challenges. While inspired by Einstein’s theories, warp drive as it’s popularly depicted does not yet have a basis in proven physics.
