| According to two scientists as reported by Telegraph.co.uk, Star Trek warp drive is a possibility. Dr Gerald Cleaver, associate professor of physics at Baylor, and Richard Obousy have come up with an idea to produce a warp drive that they believe can travel faster than the speed of light, without breaking the laws of physics. But to do this, scientists need to harness a mysterious, poorly understood cosmic antigravity force, called dark energy. |
