In his research presentation on the Kashmir cavity, Dr. 'This is a good example of'doing research for a purpose and discovering something completely unexpected,'' said Dr. And while working on the Kashmir cavity, he happened to discover a warp bubble.
White was researching a microscale structure called 'Kashmir cavity', which is different from the warp bubble, with DARPA funding. It's small, but we've discovered the real warp bubble,' White said. 'I want to make it clear that what we've discovered isn't a'warp bubble analog'. White announced that he succeeded in creating a real 'warp bubble.' A warp bubble is a subspace appearance phenomenon that envelops a spacecraft and distorts the spacecraft continuum to propel the spacecraft. White, but still remained beyond the scope of the theory. In response to this, although unofficially, Alcubierre Drive has been renamed to 'Alcubierre / White Warp Drive'. Harold White, who founded the 'Eagleworks Laboratory ' at NASA's Johnson Space Center in 2013, has significantly reduced the amount of special materials and energy used by modifying the Alcubierre Drive metrics.

Inspired by the warp navigation that appears in the SF drama series ' Star Trek, ' Alcubierre Drive says, 'Move the spacecraft by expanding the space-time behind the spacecraft and at the same time contracting the space-time in front of it.' The idea is to sail like surfing on the waves of space-time.Īlthough Alcubierre Drive has been evaluated academically, it has been considered impossible to put it into practical use because it requires special materials and enormous energy to realize it. Warp Drive is based on the theory of 'Alcubierre Drive ' proposed by physicist Miguel Alcubiere. In order to realize a warp drive, it is necessary to wrap the spacecraft in a 'warp bubble' which is a subspace place, but what is a warp drive newly funded by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Planning Bureau)? A research team doing a completely different study reported that a warp bubble had accidentally emerged.ĭARPA Funded Researchers Accidentally Create The World's First Warp Bubble -The Debrief The warp drive familiar to science fiction, such as 'a huge spaceship moves a distance of many light years by warp in an instant', has been said to be 'impossible in reality'. The major drawback concerning warp drives is the huge amount of negative energy able to sustain the warp bubble.In order to perform an interstellar space travel to a "nearby" star at $20$ light-years away in a reasonable amount of time a ship must attain a speed of about $200$ times faster than light.However the negative energy density at such a speed is directly proportional to the factor $10^$ a result $1000$ times lighter than the ones obtained by Lamoreaux proving that the Casimir Effect can generate and sustain a Natario warp drive spacetime.We also discuss other warp drive drawbacks:collisions with hazardous interstellar matter(asteroids or comets) that may happen in a real interstellar travel and Horizons(causally disconnected portions of spacetime).12:10:00 Succeeded in generating 'warp bubble' for the first time in the world There are at the present moment two known solutions: The Alcubierre warp drive discovered in $1994$ and the Natario warp drive discovered in $2001$. Warp Drives are solutions of the Einstein Field Equations that allows superluminal travel within the framework of General Relativity.
