Credit: NASA One of the reasons for this is because this method would not rely on moving faster than light in the local. With the newly formed NASA Breakthrough Propulsion Physics program, that situation is changing. Artist’s concept of a spacecraft using an Alcubierre Warp Drive. As mentioned, in our fictional world, a warp drive would allow us to manipulate space-time itself, very literally taking advantage of a loophole in physics to move faster than light. The book constrains itself mostly to existing science and projected technology. It contains technical details sufficient to lead researchers to more substantive material, yet is easy enough to read for general interest. Historically, gravity has been studied in the general sense, but not very much from the point of view of seeking propulsion breakthroughs. Book (274 pages) An overview of interstellar travel, the problems and proposed solutions. Another way is through new theories from quantum mechanics that link gravity and inertia to something called " vacuum fluctuations." This is known as the Alcubierre warp drive. General Relativity, another one of Einstein’s doings, is one way to describe such connections. The concept known as faster-than-light travel or hyperspace/ lightspeed has actually got a lot of back-up in scientific research. I discovered ways to reduce the energy requirements by many orders of magnitude. Warp drive, of course If a spaceship could be designed in such a way that it created a warp bubble, then the space in front of the ship would be compressed and the space behind would expand. Faster than light travel is the only way humans could ever get to other stars in a. We are quite adept at controlling electromagnetic phenomena, so one can presume that such a connection might eventually lead to using our control of electromagnetism to control gravity. Meet the NASA scientist devising a starship warp drive. New research suggests that it might be possible to build warp drives and beat the galactic speed limit. The better news is that there is no science that says that gravity control is impossible.įirst, we do know that gravity and electromagnetism are linked phenomena. We are at the point where we know what we do know and know what we don’t, and there is a lot that we don’t know. Like " Warp Drives", this subject is also at the level of speculation, with some facets edging into the realm of science. If you could control gravity or inertial forces, you would have a propulsion breakthrough (thrusting without rockets), a means to create synthetic gravity environments for space crews, a means to create zero-gravity environment on Earth - hey that could be fun - and a whole host of other things.
