Faster than light speed without going faster than light? I won't pretend to understand, but sounds cool.

Computer models have shown that it's theoretically possible to achieve faster than light travel by warping spacetime in a bubble around a starship - exploiting a loophole in Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
In essence, such a ship would expand space behind it and shrink it in front, so that it could cover huge distances very quickly without actually going faster than light.

Fancy! It better need a awesome looking not so faster than light drive!!!

We've still got another 51 years and a World War to get through yet! :yep:

Let's hope politicians don't adopt this theory!

Oh.......Wait!

I think they already did years ago.
:nope:

When reading the article I saw this sentence

"White-Juday Warp Field Interferometer"

I googled this sentence to find out what it is and found this page

(It's a google page with lots of picture and homepages behind these pictures)

A ring-shaped warp drive device could transport a football-shape starship (center) to effective speeds faster than light. The concept was first proposed by Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre.
Wait I've seen this before...

I want warp drive NOW!!!! :wah:

That's easy, that's if you have a car, with manual gear

It can only be done when you are on the freeway

When at high speed and you are in the 4th/5th gear, you press down the clutch and press the gear into "R" thereafter you lift your feed from the clutch, be beware that the speed may increase alot-you will be pressed back to your seat due to the G-force.

R stands for Rapid speed(or Warp drive)
