Let's clear the air on faster-than-light travel.🧐

The universe is bigger than you think.

This means any deep-space future awaiting humanity outside our solar system will remain beyond the span of a single life until we develop a means of propulsion that outclasses conventional rockets. And, when three studies rocked the world earlier this year, it felt like a dream come true: Warp drive was no longer science fiction, potentially unlocking a theoretical basis to build faster-than-light warp drive engines that could cut a trip to Mars down to minutes.

For decades, research into faster-than-light travel couldn't escape the need for unconscionable amounts of hypothetical particles, in addition to matter exhibiting"exotic" physical properties, like negative energy density. These either can't be found in the universe, or require a level of technological prowess far beyond ours.

This method has appeal in the hunt for superluminal travel, since a soliton or warp bubble avoids breaking the speed limit that Einstein's theory of general relativity places on all matter in the universe . Since physical matter can't be accelerated from sub- to superluminal speeds without violating the laws of physics, we might instead try creating a soliton"bubble" around a spaceship that moves the very fabric of space-time at superluminal speeds.
