A new study suggests that a real-life warp drive might not be as far-fetched as we thought. The key, scientists say, is to look at the problem through the lens of Einstein’s theory of gravity: general relativity.
Researchers have recently conducted a successful stratospheric test of their wafercraft. If all goes well, the spacecraft will be able to reach relativistic speeds and make it to the nearest star system within our lifetimes.
Recently, the Breakthrough Initiatives project took a big leap toward achieving its ultimate goal by successfully sending six test craft into Low Earth Orbit.
The Breakthrough Starshot Initiative's purpose goes far beyond the Moon. The project seeks to travel to the nearest stars.
The research grants provide funding for new studies of spacecraft propulsion, synthetic biology and more
It takes a bold person to declare that interstellar travel is now within our grasp. Physicist Stephen Hawking has shown that he is just that, taking part in the Breakthrough Starshot initiative.
The Defense Department first proposed Star Wars. Now it wants Star Trek.
