Warp drive. Illustration of a spacecraft travelling through space and time using a warp drive. This warp drive is a theoretical concept known as the Alcubierre metric,where a spacecraft travels faster than light by contracting the space in front of it (right) and expanding the space behind it (left). This expansion and contraction is shown by the distortion in the grid,which represents spacetime,the continuum that combines space and time | |
