Recently, an experiment was performed
in the vacuum of space where laser beams were shot into the resonance
chamber of an EM drive. Light was resonated to increase in intensity
inside the drive, and it was discovered that some of the beams of
light seemed to be moving faster than the speed of light constant. In
theory, this impossibility was explained by the presence of a warp
field—a pocket in space-time. If that pocket or bubble could be
formed in front of a rocket or spaceship, space-time could move
around the vessel faster than the speed of light. The craft itself
would not violate the speed of light, but the bubble would
essentially contract space-time around the vessel. Essentially, the
ship would be stationary as the bubble moved space-time past it.
Rather than searching for ways to violate relativity itself, the
focus has become bypassing it. The warp bubble itself relates to the
concept of the Alcubierre drive, which contracts space in front of it
and expands space behind it. This would allow the warp bubble to
appear in flat spacetime and effectively move at faster-than-light
speeds! But how does this work?
