For 30 years, physicists have been considering the possibility of creating a unique propulsion system called a warp drive. But this is not an engine in the usual sense of the word. This hypothetical device could compress space-time in front of a spacecraft and thus allow it to fly at superluminal speeds. This may sound like science fiction, but physicists believe that warp engines could theoretically exist and someone would use them to move through space. These could be potential highly developed aliens. The authors of a study published in the Open Journal of Astrophysics presented a way to detect such an engine in space. Warp drive is theorized to create a warp bubble around the spacecraft. Actually, the ship itself is not moving anywhere, but the bubble is moving, thanks to the compression of space-time in front of the ship. This allows you to achieve speeds that are faster than the speed of light. In theory, warp drive requires exotic matter and negative energy to operate. Opponents of this idea believe that such an engine cannot exist, because it violates the known laws of physics. On the other hand, even if it is possible to create a warp engine, it is unclear how to control it and deactivate the warp bubble upon reaching its destination. The authors of the new study believe that, in theory, warp engines could exist and are already being used, and the consequences of stopping their operation could be detected. Physicists believe warp drive should release gravitational waves, or ripples, into the fabric of space-time that produce black hole or neutron star mergers.

Physicists believe that warp drive should release gravitational waves, or ripples, into the fabric of space-time that produce black hole or neutron star mergers. These waves can be detected by gravitational wave detectors on Earth, but more sensitive instruments need to be developed. Physicists say that the necessary technologies already exist. Thus, the receipt of a unique gravitational signal will indicate that warp engines really exist. Simulations have shown that when a warp drive stops or slows down, a wave of negative energy is released, followed in turn by waves of positive and negative energy. This process leads to an increase in overall energy and could be further evidence of the operation of warp drive, since the energy waves will interact with ordinary matter. So far, humanity does not have the necessary technologies even for fast manned flights to the farthest corners of the solar system, not to mention reaching the nearest stars. Even at the speed of light, it would take a spacecraft at least 4 years to reach the closest triple system, Alpha Centauri. By the way, as Focus already wrote , scientists have options for quick travel to this star system. Therefore, for interstellar travel it is necessary to create technologies that could allow spaceships to fly at superluminal speeds. In this case, the flight to the nearest stars will take months, not years. But all this still remains only theoretical reflections of physicists or the basis for the creation of plots by science fiction writers. Will warp drive ever be created? There is no exact answer. Does it even exist somewhere in space? Maybe. The post Scientists will see if aliens use warp engines to move through Universe appeared first on Anomalien.com.
