FTL

We see it in science fiction and even ION drives have become a reality in the 21st century, but what are the challenges of developing warp drive? So when will humans be flying through the galaxy at Faster Than Light (FTL) speed? Developing a working warp drive technology is a major scientific challenge that requires solving a number of theoretical and practical problems. Some of the key challenges are are described below. Energy Requirements The energy requirements for a functional warp drive are immense, as it requires manipulating space-time and creating a bubble of distorted space-time around a spacecraft. Current…
