‘Warp’ Theory Makes Traveling Faster-than-Light Possible

The idea is to build a negative energy bubble surrounding an object like a spaceship. The spacetime continuum ahead of the object compresses and the space behind it expands. In the center of the soliton is a flat area where the object can safely travel through space and/or time. And if any people are on-board they wouldn’t even feel like they’re moving.

Designing the Warp-Bubble

The goal is to create a warp-drive bubble. Lentz proposes that these warp bubbles can be created from positive energy sources with basic physics. And they don’t violate Einstein’s conclusions. Or require any negative energy densities.

When Lentz studied previous warp-drive proposals he believed that some warp-bubble configurations hadn’t been considered.  A warp-drive that uses conventional energy sources is a major innovation. But the problem is this still needs a huge amount of energy.

“The energy savings would need to be drastic, of approximately 30 orders of magnitude to be in the range of modern nuclear fission reactors,” Lentz claims.
