A warp drive may be feasible within the framework of known physics, wild discovery suggests
A Persistent Barrier in Space Travel
One of the greatest obstacles to interstellar exploration is the speed limit of the Universe.
Even with advanced technology, any attempt to travel at speeds beyond light (300,000 kilometers or 186,000 miles per second) is bound by this natural limit.
No object with mass can reach this speed, putting distant stars effectively out of reach. However, theories in physics suggest that space-time itself—capable of bending and warping—might offer a workaround. Concepts such as wormholes, or Einstein-Rosen bridges, propose “shortcuts” across space-time.
Another idea, the warp drive, suggests that space itself could be compressed and expanded around a spacecraft, potentially allowing rapid travel without violating the speed of light.
Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a version of the warp drive in 1994 that involved creating a “bubble” of warped space-time around a vessel. However, the Alcubierre drive required “negative energy” to create this bubble, relying on either undiscovered exotic particles or dark energy—both of which remain hypothetical.
This requirement has kept Alcubierre’s concept in the realm of science fiction, as the necessary energy forms are beyond current scientific reach.
A New Proposal for Warp Travel
Recently, scientists at the think tank Applied Physics have proposed an alternative: a “constant velocity warp drive” that operates within the bounds of conventional physics.
This new concept, led by physicist Jared Fuchs, circumvents the need for exotic energy by using a stable shell of matter to manipulate space-time similarly to a gravitational effect.
Rather than faster-than-light travel, the drive would achieve sub-light speeds, but its method of warping space-time presents a significant breakthrough. According to Fuchs, this model “offers a first-of-its-kind solution” that could allow warp drives to transition from theory to reality.
This model mimics gravitational effects using conventional matter, creating a stable warp “bubble” around the spacecraft. This bubble shortens the amount of space the vessel must cross, allowing it to reach high sub-light speeds without exotic matter.
The researchers believe this approach offers a more feasible path to practical warp technology, though it still requires a considerable amount of energy.
The Future of Warp Drive Research
While this constant velocity warp drive doesn’t yet reach faster-than-light speeds, it marks an important step forward. The Applied Physics team intends to refine their model to reduce its energy requirements, aiming for a more efficient design.
Christopher Helmerich, a physicist and graduate student at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, notes that while energy demands remain high, this model provides a viable alternative to more speculative warp concepts.
By shifting the focus away from exotic energy forms, researchers now have a path to explore real-world applications of warp technology.
Although a practical warp drive remains distant, the new model has re-energized discussions around interstellar travel, suggesting that humanity might one day harness the power of space-time itself to journey across the stars.

Yes, but not a new model, (whatever they mean by “model”). This idea still relies on the Alcubierre principle.
Alcubierre was only half right though. It IS possible to slow down time and shrink space, but it is NOT possible to increase the time rate and expand space.
We only have to look at the Earth to see that. It takes the whole mass energy of the Earth to slow down time to 0.9999999993044123 of the time rate in empty space at Earth’s orbital position at its surface. Not much you might say, but enough to give us our “g” of 9.81m/s^2.
So, we can still have a warp drive, but it will be only the “front end” of the Alcubierre’. There can be no rear part to it.
Time comes to us as a gift from the universe. It is the ultimate source of all energy.
Time is energy? Well yes, it swaps with kinetic energy and also with mass energy. Why do you think time slows down, (loses energy) in the presence of these forms of physical energy? At the speed of light, your are using up ALL the energy of the time field at the same rate as it is operating and so there is no more energy left for further acceleration. At the event horizon of a black hole, the energy density is so great that it also is using up all the energy of the field of time at the same rate as it is operating and so time stands still here too.
So you see, you cannot have more energy than the time field provides. You cannot speed up time, only slow it down by using it for other forms of energy.
A warp drive technology will have to use energy (from time, or space time), around its skin to slow down time, (and space) at its perimeter. Then it will somehow be able to focus this energy “shell” in any particular point on its surface to dilate time at that location. The craft will then “fall” in that direction. It will accelerate in that direction due to the slow time rate in that direction, just like in a gravitational field. (I prefer the term, “Time Rate Field”).
“Everything tries to exist where time runs the slowest, and gravity takes it there” – Prof. Kip Thorne.
You will note that with this technology, there are no “g” forces, since you only FALL in an effective gravitational field. I suspect this is how UFOs or UAPs can manouver beyond the capability of the human body since the occupants remain in free fall whatever the manouver.
