現在、NASAのある科学者は、ワープ航法に関係する技術を開発しているそうだ。 もちろん、もうじき隣にあるアンドロメダ銀河に行けるようになるわけではない。 あくまでほんの少しだけ実現に近づいたというだけの話だ。 それでも、いつの日かスター ...

広い宇宙を自由に飛び回れるのは、フィクションの中でだけ。しかし、理論的にはまったく不可能な話ではないのかもしれません。科学者たちは、相対性理論の抜け穴を利用することで「ワープドライブ（超光速航法）」が実現できると考えています。

Warp drives have long lived in the realm of science fiction, but the underlying physics that inspired them is very real and surprisingly precise. As researchers probe the edges of general relativity ...

You know that scene in the film Contact where the “Machine” is spooling up, its three spinning rings kicking out crazy light and an electromagnetic field powerful enough to pitch nearby Navy ...

NASA physicist Harold White is boldly going where no one has gone before with his work on a warp drive. White has been working on the project since 2010 and it’s so Star Trek-inspired that the designs ...

The picture depicted above is not some secret NASA project built in the recesses of the dark side of the moon, but the brainchild of concept artist Mark Rademaker, who designed what could be the first ...

NASA’s much-hyped EM Drive – often described as a ‘Warp Drive’ – made shockwaves around the world, with a propulsion system which seems to defy the laws of physics. But now China claims not only to ...
