... of spacetime around a spacecraft creating an exotic form of field-propulsion. Due to the fact that spacetime expansion itself is not restricted by relativity, a faster-than-light `warp drive' could be created. Calculations of the energy requirements of such a drive are performed and an `ultimate' speed limit, based ...

... warp drive a genuine contender for breaking the interstellar distance barrier - the biggest obstacle towards the potential interaction of interstellar civilizations. This paper will review the current status of the warp drive ...

... energy problems discovered through cosmology. One such variation, the Yilmaz Theory of Gravitation, adds a stress-energy tensor for gravitation to the right-hand side of the Einstein field ... in the Yilmaz spacetime geometry, this may have the consequence of rendering warp drives and wormholes impossible. An analytical approach is suggested to investigate this question and to raise this issue so ...

... of Alcubierre's seminal warp drive paper in 1994. It is concluded that the realisation of warp drive might be achieved around the year 2180. A projected timetable for the realisation of warp drive through phases of conjecture , speculation , science , technology and application suggests that the warp drive proposal should ...
