TRAVEL FASTERTHE LIGHTWARP DRIVE PROJECTMove at speeds superluminal deforming the fabricspace-time, like the StarTrek spacecraft sofabulous project concept Warp Drive, which offers a theoretical modelmay be a realistic solution to undertake space travelfuture and consider exploring other galaxies. "Weoffer a detailed dossier on the possible applications of the WarpDrive under current technology and knowledgecosmic.Originally: Star Trekfor fans of the Star Trek saga, the image has become one of the cultfamous starship Enterprise launched suddenly at breakneck speedin the space, leaving in its wake a flash of lightintense. A technique allowing stellar travel crewCaptain James T Kirk crossingimpressive distances across the universe in record time.In the science fiction series Star Trek, createdin the Sixties by Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991), humanityindeed developed space travel at superluminal speed aftera post-apocalyptic mid century XXlème (see ourbox). Futuristic technology called "Warp Drive" has beenpoint it is a device that generates an intense fielddistortion and allow spacecraft to travel at a speedexceeding that of light, in a bubble "subspace". Thissphere then slides on the cosmic wave generated by the fielddistortion as a surfer on a monstrous wave. The effect isdramatically once entered into the onboard computer coordinates thethe region that stellar crew of the Enterprise wants to achieve,the ship suddenly file at a phenomenal rate and disappearsa fraction of a second ... to reappear moments later inthe desired geographical area. The Science of Star Trek Warp Driveis so exotic that it seems unlikely.Distortion of the fabric of space caused by the Warp Drive imaginedby Alcubierre would Oaffranchir the theory ofEinstein's relativity and relativistic effects such conventionalthat time dilation and delicate temporal paradoxes. 'However, in recent years, astrophysicists believe-powerapply this technology one day science fiction to our reality! Then the Warp Drive for real, is it possible?science fiction to our reality! Then the Warp Drive for realis it possible?The brilliant intuition of AlcubierreThe question could not be more legitimate since 1994, whenMexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a mathematical modelwho immediately controversy in the scientific community, ascontent seemed to exceed the most daring technologiesscience fiction. According Alcubierre, it would indeed be possibleto travel at speeds superluminal by creating a field ofdistortion in space-time! According to Einstein andtheory of general relativity, it is not yet aobject moves faster than light, know more 299 792 458meters per second, how he manages Alcubierre then aroundthis cosmic law? Mexican physicist theory is ambitious anddeeply clever: it is to stretch the space-time! Thanks toone warp engine fueled with exotic matter,the spacetime shrinks at the front of the spacecraft (which attractsthe point of arrival) and expands to the rear of the machine (whichpushes the starting point). Wrapped in a warp bubble -qu'Alcubierre called "bubble string in flat space" - the machineremains stationary,carried by this negative energy bubble surfing at speedsdementia on the cosmic wave created. Distortion of the fabric
 would then be free of the effects of Einstein and relativistic% conventional t / n and delicate time temporal paradoxes: for it is not the ship that moves faster than light (it still remains rather ), and the bubble which transports! To better understand the concept, just imagine a tapisroulant fast as those that can borrow oports stations and the person who stands on a treadmill is immobile and yet crosses a certain distance, more than idement if it had moved Js ... Another advantage of Warp Drive, passengers may travel long distances to astronomical superluminal speeds without feeling the least gravitational acceleration: polish, which they otherwise would. Based on theoretical calculations of the scientist, the warp bubble (Warp Bubble) may travel several-thousand-times faster than the light velocity that exceeds our just hear-ing. The Alcubierre metric seduced by its originality, and many scientists question whether this mathematical model, which is for the moment only speculative, is not the key to the future of space travel. But moving from theory to practice, a major problemstands in front astrophysicists: how to create the famouswarp bubble to surf a wave of space-time?In search of exotic energy According to experts who have studiedthe Alcubierre equations, the only way to design a modesuperluminal propulsion viable to expect travel faster than thelight is created around the ship a riPnciré energynegative. Needless to say, in the present state of our knowledge,such technology is far from being a point! Unlikely but notinsurmountable meet many aerospace experts who believethat the solution lies in a better understanding of the cosmos-andhis famous material exotique.Rappelons the exact composition ofthe universe remains unclear, even to researchers and the organizationsmore relevant: the latest official figures, about 75% ofcosmos is composed of matter ... unknown! Experts call the"Dark Energy" or the "energy ie black" ... With further advances in these mysterious particles in the universe - much is expected of experiments with the LHC (Large HadronCollider) for a few months - it is possible to consider long-term i, development of technical space using this form of energy NEGU ive whose properties are currently ignored. Some UFO propulsion modes c could also, to use that dark energy pourl'instant abandoned by our navettc space, as suggested Augus Eessen in an article titled "M propulsion of UFOs and theses Claude Poher" ~"(...) There would be a supply of usable energy at our door, inside of our solar system and we can think of UFOs, installed on Mars or asteroids, for example, s' There currently supply. In any case, the observations suggest the way they UFOs axploitent conventional energy source: ional. "Engine plasma engine or antimatter warp field warp drive, anything is possible once pierced the mystery of dark energy.Energy demand phenomenal Studying techniquespropulsion for interstellar travel possible,several scientists have found no device broughttruly satisfactory solution.

Some researchers then began to wonder: what if the drive does not represent the future of interstellar travel tomorrow? This is where the strength of the project Warp Drive: remember that the spacecraft remains stationary and does not require any energy storage on board, it is the warp bubble .. -which, on the wave of distorted moves faster than theLight. Exit the puzzle propulsion! However, a sourceexotic energy is necessary for a field generatordistortion manipulates space-time envelope and the vehicle in a bubblenegative energy. And therein lies the rub: the distortionspace-time requires tremendous energy. Felt that the first equations to form a warp bubble radius of 100 meters, there should be a negative amount of energy 10 billion times the known mass of the entire universe! The Belgian scientist ChristianVan Den Broeck proposed fortunately a slight modification of the Alcubierre metric, achieving significantly reduce the amount of energy required to form a warp bubble, but according to his calculations must still equivalent energymass of 3 suns to transport small atoms via the simpleWarp Drive ...Warp Drive and string theoryAnother technical issue arises: what can look like thisfamous "warp drive"? Two physicists from BaylorUniversity, Gerald Cleaver and Richard Obousy, tried this yearto imagine a consistent pattern in the project Warp Drive(See illustrations)."We believe we can create a warp drive based ongeneral relativity and string theory (...) The fabric of spacespread faster than the speed of light in the past,we recréerions the inflationary period of the universe behindship "the two scholars speculate. To create a contractionspacetime the front of the ship and expansion of space-timeat the back, and Cleaver Obousy offer manipulate the IInddimension of the universe predicted by string theory. it wouldthen possible to be born black bubble of energy, composed ofthe same material exotic responsible expansion of the Universe."These calculations involve technology than wecurrently have "the researchers admit, consideringhundreds of years of research before the development of atrue experimental design. Theoretical physicist Lawrence Ford of Tufts University also has a passion for the theory:"If there are extra dimensions, and we canhandle, it opens up all sorts of exciting possibilities. Inot hear the immediate creation of a warp drive, itcould lead to other interesting opportunities in thebasic scientific research "says NASA il.La personalso addressed the issue, devoting a completeon vogages superluminal entitled "Warp Drive, When? "(TheWarp Drive, this is when). At the head of the research programWarp Drive on, Marc Millis, a specialist in propulsion systemsspatial seriously considering significant advances inthis area, although it will probably take several generations toa concrete technology was born. Bloom alsoAmounts of Internet sites - mostly in English - on the theory ofWarp Drive and its possible applications. Perhaps an amateurinspired propose a prototype warp drive much earlieryou think? And we can also expect a surge lightningknowledge in astrophysics through recovery of aexploiting alien technology Warp Drive!Manipulate the space-time is a fantasy ... for now!Many critics of the project Warp Drive. According to them, exceed the speed of light is itself an aberration. Maybe he is important to remember that any time, scientists have triedset limits to our imagination. However, many ofdeemed impassable barriers have already been overcome: flythrough the wall of sound, launch a satellite into orbit, send aspacecraft on the Moon, put a robot on Mars ... Todaytechnological challenge is to invent interstellar traveltomorrow. The ability to move one day in the Universe tosuperluminal speed by exploiting exotic matter fordistort space-time is far from being grotesque in itself. AndWarp Drive is positioned as one of the most promising projects, as evidenced by the growing interest of large aerospace firms for this concept. Maybe we will hundreds of yearsdesign a prototype warp drive. Perhaps the programResearch will he instead abandoned in view of the obstaclestechnological encountered. Anyway, never forget thewise words of the great Stephen Hawking, authoritativedecades the scientific community, "Sciencefiction suggests ideas that scientists integrate theirtheories, but sometimes science gives rise to notionsbizarre than any science fiction "...
