Constant Velocity Physical Warp Drive Solution

Jared Fuchs, Christopher Helmerich, Alexey Bobrick +3

Warp drives are exotic solutions of general relativity that offer novel means of transportation. In this study, we present a solution for a constant-velocity subluminal warp drive…

Introducing Physical Warp Drives

Alexey Bobrick, Gianni Martire

The Alcubierre warp drive is an exotic solution in general relativity. It allows for superluminal travel at the cost of enormous amounts of matter with negative mass density. For t…
