Hi everyone, i am back with a new blog today. Before
starting my blog i just want to ask you something that which is the fastest
thing you know rather than Bugatti Veyron. I think that your answer will be
Speed of light, yes actually speed of light is the fastest but ever since the
sound barrier are broken, people have turned their attention to how we can
break the light speed barrier. But ‘’warp drive’’ or any other term for faster
than light travel still remains at the level of speculation.
Before moving forward i want to put some light on ‘’warp
drive’’. It is a fictitious faster than light spacecraft propulsion system in
many science fiction works, most notably star trek. A spacecraft equipped with
warp drive may travel at speeds greater than that of light by many orders of
magnitude.
There are many ‘’absurd’’ theories that have become reality
over the years of scientific research. But for the near future, warp drive remains
a dream. Science fiction writers have given us many images of interstellar
travel but travelling at the speed of light is simply imaginary at present, and
they are thinking for warp drive which is faster than speed of light.
A warp drive would manipulate space-time itself to move a
starship, taking advantage of a loophole in the laws of physics that prevent
anything from moving faster than light. A concept for real life warp drive was
suggested in 1994 by Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre, however, subsequent
calculations found that such a device would require prohibitive amount of
energy.
Now physicist say that adjustments can be made to the
proposed warp drive that would enable it to run on significantly less energy,
potentially bringing the idea back from the realm of science fiction into
science. There is hope, ’’Harold’’ Sonny’’ white of NASA’s Johnson Space Center
said here at 100 year Starship Symposium, a meeting to discuss the challenges
of interstellar spaceflight.
An Alcubierre warp drive would involve a football shape
spacecraft attached to a large ring encircling it. This ring, potentially made
of exotic matter, would cause space-time to warp around the starship, creating
a region of contracted space in front of it and expanded space behind.
Meanwhile the starship itself would stay inside a bubble of flat space-time
that wasn’t being warped at all.

So that all about today, i hope you must have found today’s
topic interesting. You can tell your suggestion’s on warp drive by commenting
it in the comment section right down there. And if you want that i must write
on a particular topic you can even comment that, i would surely write the next
blog on your suggested topic.
