Meep. My husband pointed out my mistake.... WARP DRIVE.
Trivia bit of the day:
In the [A title="Fictional universe" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictional_universe"]fictional universe[/A] of
[A title="Star Trek" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek"]Star Trek[/A], the
warp drive is a form of [A title=Faster-than-light href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light"]faster-than-light[/A] (FTL) propulsion. It is generally portrayed as being capable of propelling spacecraft or other objects to many multiples of the speed of light, while avoiding the problems associated with [A title="Time dilation" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation"]time dilation[/A]. The motion picture
[A title="Starship Troopers (film)" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Troopers_%28film%29"]Starship Troopers[/A] also uses the same term to refer to faster-than-light travel. It is not generally capable of instantaneous travel between points at infinite speed, as has been suggested in other science fiction using theoretical technologies such as [A title=Hyperdrives href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperdrives"]Hyperdrive[/A] and [A title="Jump drive" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_drive"]Jump Drives[/A]. It is called
Efti'el in the
Titan novels.
The concept of using spatial warping as a means of propulsion has been the subject of theoretical treatment by some physicists (such as [A title="Miguel Alcubierre" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_Alcubierre"]Miguel Alcubierre[/A], see [A title="Alcubierre drive" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive"]Alcubierre drive[/A]), although no concrete technological approach has ever been proposed, nor is there any known way of inducing the effect described by Alcubierre.
