Star Trek at 50 - Warp Drive

Warp drive is a faster-than-light (FTL) spacecraft propulsion system in many science fiction works. A spacecraft equipped with a warp drive may travel at fantasy speeds greater than that of light by many orders of magnitude.

Fantasy speeds? Hey, just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it can't. Some smart person will figure out how hyper-fast travel within General Relativity can occur. Maybe. Or, maybe not.

This week, a look at warp drive.

TTFN, Fred.
