Scientists discover warp bubble that could use space compression to potentially allow for travel virtually faster than the speed of light.

"Don't pack your bags and move to Bozeman yet. This micro-scale warp bubble won't be capable of propulsion, but it could have myriad other applications, says its discoverer Dr. Sonny White."

"What is a warp bubble?

"This is a pretty complicated notion that involves a ton of math, but at its most basic level, a warp bubble is a bit of space that's contracted in the front and expanded in the back. The contraction/expansion theoretically pushes the bubble, and its contents, forward at speeds surpassing the speed of light without ever violating the laws of physics: You're not technically traveling faster than light, you're surfing a bubble of condensed space."


Applications like batteries that don't run out, phones and devices whose signals can't be interrupted so easily by solid barriers, and even cameras with more accurate color placement.

Interesting indeed. Now we just have to wait another hundred years or so until it becomes practical. If only they were to crack immortality beforehand than perhaps, we'll get the chance to zip around the universe star trek style.

>>2 Really, lmao. It's cool stuff, though. Immortality would be sweet but I doubt we'll be so lucky... 'Cross the universe divide, like in that Johnny Cash/Highwaymen song.

Immortality Zengat Really. I mean That would suck because if everything died what's are you going to explore in space if Nothing ever happens again.

Immortality? No for real. I think the lifespan of human form will degrade from what we have today as the technology goes on improving and improving
