Spaceships zipping at the speed of light or faster are a staple of science fiction. Think of the Millennium Falcon in the "Star Wars" movies

11 MARCH 2021 For decades, weve dreamed of visiting other star systems. Theres just one problem – theyre so far away, with conventional spaceflight it would take tens of thousands of years to reach even the closest one.   Physicists are not the kind of people who give up easily, though. Give them an impossible dream, and theyll give you an incredible, hypothetical way of making it a reality. Maybe. In a new study by physicist Erik Lentz from Göttingen University in Germany, we may have a v...

Astrophysicist at Göttingen University discovers new theoretical hyper-fast soliton solutions. If travel to distant stars within an individual's lifetime is going to be possible, a means of faster-than-light propulsion will have to be found. To...

To date, even recent research about superluminal (faster-than-light) transport based on Einsteins theory of general relativity would require vast amounts of hypothetical particle...

ExtremeTech New Study Proposes Warp Drive That Might Actually Work By Ryan Whitwam on March 8, 2021 at 7:30 am This site may earn affiliate commissions from the links on this page. Terms of use. (Credit: Eduard Muzhevskyi/Getty Images) Exploring the universe in Star Trek is as easy as firing up the warp drive and zipping off to the next adventure, but real life is much more tedious without faster-than-light (FTL) travel. Physicists have speculated on the possibility of a real...

Last March, when Ravi Kopparapu was still working from his desk at the Goddard Space Center in Maryland, he came across a press release from NASA’s Earth Observatory. Levels of Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) had plummeted over China since the country of 1.4 billion instituted strict stay-at-home orders more than a month earlier. He texted his colleague Jacob Haqq Misra with the link: “Technosignature?” he wrote. “Oh interestin...
