I’m sure many readers of Universe Today are like me‚ fans of the science fiction genre. From the light sabres of Star Wars to the neuralyzer of Men in Black‚ science fiction has crazy inventions aplenty and once science fiction writers dream it‚ scientists and engineers try and create it. Perhaps the holy grail of science fiction creations is the warp drive from Star Trek and it is fair to say that many have tried to work out if it is even possible to travel faster than the speed of light. To date‚ alas‚ to no avail but if the warp drive eludes us‚ what about faster than light communication!  Let’s start with the warp drive.  The concept is a drive that can propel a spacecraft at speeds in excess of the speed of light. According to the Star Trek writers‚ the speed was described in factors of warp speed where they are converted to multiples of the speed of light by multiplication with the cubic function of the warp factor itself! Got it! Don’t worry‚ it’s not crucial to this article. Essentially ‘warp 1’ is equivalent to the speed of light‚ ‘warp 2’ is eight times speed of light and ‘warp 3’ is 27 times the speed of light and so it goes on! Therein lies the problem; achieving faster than light travel.  In attempts to try to understand this‚ numerous experiments have been undertaken‚ of note Bill Bertozzi at MIT accelerated electrons and observed them becoming heavier and heavier until they couldn’t be accelerated any more! Once at the speed of light‚ it takes an infinite amount of energy to accelerate an object further! The maximum speed he achieved was the speed of light. In other experiments‚ synchronised atomic clocks were taken on board airliners and found that‚ after travelling at high speed relative to a reference clock on Earth‚ time had run slower! The upshot is that the faster you go‚ the slower time passes and at the speed of light‚ time stops! If time stops‚ so does speed! hmmmm this is tricky.  The science of faster than light travel aside‚ In a number of potential warp drive designs have surfaced like the Alcubierre Drive proposed in 1994. However‚ the common factor to provide the faster than light travel is something called negative energy which is required in copious amounts. The study of quantum mechanics shows that even empty space has energy and anything that has less energy than empty space has ‘negative energy’.  The problem (among many) is that no-one knows how to get negative energy in huge amounts to power the warp drives. Two-dimensional visualization of an Alcubierre drive‚ showing the opposing regions of expanding and contracting spacetime that displace the central region (Credit : AllenMcC) It seems the warp drive is some time away yet but what about faster than light communication‚ could that work? Accelerating macroscopic objects‚ like spacecraft requires high amounts of negative energy but communication‚ as a recent paper explains‚ which operates at much smaller scale requires less energy. Quite a bit less in fact‚ less than is contained inside a lightning bolt.  Perhaps more tantalising is that we may just be able to create small amounts of negative energy using today’s technology. One of the ways this can be achieved is to ensure the proper configuration and distribution of negative energy to channel communication.  The paper proposes a tubular distribution of negative energy in so called hypertubes to enable the acceleration and deceleration of warp bubbles for superluminal communication.  Achieving this for long distance communication will require special devices to be designed and built but as the papers author Lorenzo Pieri concludes “it is tantalising to consider the fabrication of microchips capable of superluminal computing”.  Yes‚ that is an exciting proposition but the thought of firing messages out to the cosmos at speeds faster than that of light.. Just wow!

There aren't always warning signs.

It’s a powerful association.

How can such a small change affect so much?
