Warp Theorists Say We've Entered an Exotic Propulsion Space Race to Build the World's First Working Warp Drive
The Debrief, 27 Jun 2024
An international team of physicists behind several revolutionary warp
drive concepts, including the first to require no exotic matter, says
that recent unprecedented breakthroughs in physics and propulsion have launched the world powers into a Cold War-style, 21st-century space
race to build the world's first working warp drive.

2024 An international team of physicists behind several
revolutionary warp drive concepts, including the first to require
no exotic matter, says that recent unprecedented breakthroughs in
physics and propulsion have launched the world powers into a Cold
War-style, 21st-century space race to build the world's first
working warp drive.
My opinion - Yes, we need better propulsion for space travel. But
NO, we do not necessarily need to go faster than the Speed of
Light. That feat, may indeed be impossible.
Then you're in luck. The initial warp drives will likely be
sub-light. The FTL version so far is only "just" possible using bags
of energy and exotic matter.
But the universe managed to go from 0 to 100 bn light years in only
14 bn y so at least we have something to aim for because "anture did
it first". ;)
