the reason we cant travel at at least light speed is because the faster you go, the more mass you have. At light speed, mass is infinite.

They are working on literal "warp drives". They call warp drives warp drives because instead of "acceleration" of an object, you push space out of your way, Warp the space around you. Kind of like putting a Glass on a table and pulling the table cloth. The glass will move towards you, however the glass isnt moving, therefore it isnt actually accelerated, and thus have no gain of mass and therefore has no limit as to how fast you can warp space around you. The analogy doesnt exactly work in the field of science, but the picture is the same. Instead of you going through space, you push space out of your way whilst remaining still

They say they need negative energy, but negative energy is unproven and undiscovered as a source of energy for such travel.

Wormholes, also unproven though they may be, are also something people are looking into. They need negative energy to create wormholes and keep gravity from closing them up (negative energy is said to be anti-gravity), but wormholes are also a viable option if we find proof of them.
