Default Warp Factor 5
Faster than light speed without going faster than light? I won't pretend to understand, but sounds cool.

Quote:
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.

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

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...
