It sounds like pure science fiction. But physicists at the Applied Physics Research Center are certain that a technological race to the top is ahead. Because there are new and “realizable” concepts now for warp drive as we know it from Star Trek.
“Nothing moves faster than light.” This principle is one of the fundamental natural laws of our universe and It can't be broken. – All serious scientists agree on this. At the same time, this sentence means the end of any ambitions, to travel to the distant stars … or not?
There are ways to get around this law. If you can't get from A to B faster, just get B closer to you by curving the space in front of you. This is exactly how a warp drive works.Who we are from Star Trek: Star Trek Known.
For a long time, physics was divided over whether such a drive was theoretically possible. It now seems clear that it is, and according to the latest research, perhaps even without things like “strange matter(virtual particles with negative energy density), which have long been a stumbling block. Some physicists believe that a technological race will now begin for the first warp drive, as we last saw during the moon landings.
However, this issue has several catches.

“Nothing is faster than light” – still valid
First the bad news. Even with newly invented warp drives, it will not be possible to break the speed of light or even go faster. This is mainly due to The energy required, which is increasing dramatically, At some point it will exceed all the energy in the visible universe.
But you can reach speeds just below the speed of light (about 300,000 kilometers per second). The team of researchers Created a “workable” concept for a warp drive.In technical language this means nothing more than: There are no fundamental laws of physics why it shouldn't work.
However, there is still a lot of research needed, especially when it comes to materials, which are still far from the level required for such technologies. And this is exactly why I believe Gianni MartiFounder and Member of Applied Physics (AP)one of the largest research centers in physics, that we are now facing a technological race. Because An efficient torsion motor would provide tremendous potential. (Unfortunately not only peaceful ones) and it would be a great advantage for humanity, and above all, of course, for the nation or company that developed it.
And maybe the other inhabitants of our galaxy will eventually get in touch with us—when we reach the warp age. But maybe it won’t be quite like that after all. Because we’ve learned that even with such a warp drive, we won’t be able to exceed the speed of light.
