Campbell in his 1931 novel Islands of Space. Since then it has captured the attention of many science-fiction writers. As with many technologies found within the pages of a good novel, a great number of them eventually find their way into reality. And that’s because of this little something we call—inspiration. Alcubierre was no exception—having been inspired to mathematically work out a model for a potential real-life warp drive enduring an episode of Star Trek. Though he never intended to develop it further, he did, however, inspire others including NASA and us. From day one the drive has been primarily associated with FTL travel. But most of you are probably not aware that the warp drive has multiple functions. In about 50 years we will be able to travel FTL, but until then we can still benefit from the warp drive tech today, and in a moment I’ll tell you how we can do just that. But first, let’s provide you with a detailed explanation of the warp drive and how it actually distorts or curves spacetime.
