Two new recently published, peer-reviewed scientific papers show that real warp drive designs based on real physics may be possible. They are realistic and physical, which had not been the case in the past. In a paper published in 1994, Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre showed theoretically that an FTL warp drive could work within the laws of physics. But it would require huge amounts of negative mass or energy. Such a thing is not known to exist.

In a recent paper published by Applied Physics, authors Alexey Bobrick and Gianni Martire, outline how a physically feasible warp drive could in principle, work, without the need for negative energy. I spoke to them. They had technical input on this video.
What Alcubierre did in his paper is figure out a shape that he believed spacetime needed to have in order for a ship to travel faster than light. Then he solved Einstein's equation for general relativity to determine the matter and energy he would need to generate the desired curvature. It could only work with negative energy. This is mathematically consistent, but meaningless because negative mass is not known to exist. Negative mass is not the same as anti-matter. Antimatter has positive energy and mass.
Even if you could create the Alcubierre curvature, you still need to accelerate the ship to speed of light and beyond. But to go beyond C, you have to have superluminal matter, or infinite energy. This is not possible.
What Bobrick and Martire figured out is that there is more than one type of warp drive. We can get to Proxima Centauri in 10 months without going faster than light, by dilating time inside the ship. If a spaceship is constructed of a massive super dense material, close to the mass density of a neutron star, then any individuals inside this ship would experience significant time dilation. Passengers on such a ship could go to Proxima Centauri in about 9 earth years traveling at half the speed of light, but only about 10 months would have passed from their perspective. But a huge amount of mass would still be needed, on the order of about the mass of Jupiter or larger.
And you would still need some kind of momentum exchange, similar to a rocket to accelerate this ship. Accelerating such a massive ship to half the speed of light would require the energy equivalent of 13% of its mass. Fusion technology or accretion disk energy could be used.
In a 2021 paper by physicist Erik Lentz of Gottingen University, he shows that unlike the solution by Alcubierre, which required unphysical negative energy, no negative energy is required to create certain shapes of warp bubble that could travel at any speed. The soliton he calculated looks nothing like the Alcubierre soliton, but it requires no negative energy. And it could theoretically travel at any speed, including traveling faster than the speed of light. Lentz does not think that the speed of light is necessarily unbreakable for his soliton. But in any case, it would require quite a lot of mass, at least an amount equal to 1/10th that of the sun.
Many other challenges would remain, but the point being made in these papers is important because it shows that interstellar trips are theoretically and physically feasible.

More research can reveal optimizations on how to make the drive more efficient. We can start creating tiny warp drives in a lab, and look for microscopic warp effects as a proof of concept. A lot of work also needs to be done in material science and in constructing and developing new efficient propulsion systems. But if it is possible, then humans will undoubtedly figure out a way to do it. It is just a matter of time.

Well put, skeptics back then were saying about speed of sound, what current skeptics say about speed of light.
@@jackwilson5542 yes but the speed of sound was different, even they understood that is was possible they just didn't have the technology for it and thought materials would expand at such speeds so planes wouldn't be able to fly at such speeds. With the speed of light there is mathmathical proof that it is not possible to travel faster. I hope to see humans advance enough to prove it wrong but for now it is definatly a bummer
@@lil_woody_420 it cannot be wrong, it just that maybe we can find some loopholes so that we are travelling faster than light even though we are not ;)
@@Sasukej2004 well that would be highly unlikely because traveling faster than the speed of light would bring all sorts of other problem. And energy required to do so is infinitely high
@@lil_woody_420 agreed, however my main point was that it's pretty much impossible to see possibilities that lie outside of your own time. Its the same myopia that led Orville to disbelieve engines would ever improve enough to allow for transcontinental flight. If you believe technological progress will continue into at least the near future, then you have to back our eventually solving the issues of interstellar, and probably also intergalactic, travel. If massive objects truly can't ever travel superlumenally then some new physics will achieve the goal by a different means. It seems impossible only because we can't conceive of it now, yet when we manage it (whatever *it* is), it will appear to have always been most obvious.
It's funny that with all the sci-fi stories depicting warp-capable ships with the most complex shapes, we'd some day in the far future end up with simple spheres.

Not at all though.
You can accelerate close to the speed of light with feeling no Acceleration. You can go from 0% to 99% in a millisecond and you wouldn't feel a thing.
This would get you from earth to Mars faster than driving to your closest Supermarkt, probably.
If we build a Orion type ship, we would be limited to accelerating and decelerating at 1G so a trip, if we accelerate for 1/2 the duration and decelerate for the last half would still take days or weeks.

Amazing explanation as always too :D
I've watched a bit of your content, 👍 quite distinguished in your own right.
Question though, is there a speed limit for em fields? As far as I can recall magnetic fields have no mass yet are energy, no?
What reason is there to believe that time dilation cannot be achieved using high speed rotating magnetic fields?
If two magnetic fields rotating in opposition where one was encapsulated by the other, (given sources of both were sufficiently powerful enough to negate field disruption from the other or destruction of source) could the relative speed of either field be perceived to reach c? Each field rotating at half c in respect to its orientation would cause the effective relative speed to each other to be c, no?

Physically feasible. Technologically unfeasible for now.
Compared to "needing the entire energy of the universe" I'd say 10% of the sun is indeed "Feasible"
Sorry, I forgot to mention that 10% of the mass is crammed into a sphere with a diameter of 620 METERS! That's **30** more than Schwarzschild radius of 0.1 solar mass.

@@creativesource3514 no, time is slowing down just in perspective, and it requires extremely high gravitational density as black hole. If they warp space as they theoretized, time still gonna pass just less because warping space-time shortens trip in fabric of space-time.

@@milosstojanovic4623 Yes Kip Thorne discusses this very well!
But my point is time slows down relative to somebody at relative rest on earth as the ship approaches the speed of light and at the speed of light the astronauts freeze in time and feels no passage of time. But what's happens at faster the light travel. Kip Thorne and others don't discuss that because no matter can go faster than the speed of light.
Would faster than light travel make the astronauts go back in time?
@@creativesource3514 no, i dont think so, even if you go faster then light can catch you, you still are progressing in time, going backwards will break the physics, so its not possible. There are some videos, check them out.
@@milosstojanovic4623 Sure please send links. But so far to our knowledge mass needs infinite energy to reach c and at that speed time stops for the matter traveling at c.
The lightspeed barrier only exists in a spacetime reference frame. If you could work out a way of stepping outside of spacetime, you could go as fast as you like.
It's interesting, first they said you had to have negative mass, then they said well maybe you don't. I still hold out a little hope there might be a way to get the warp bubble to move at superluminal speeds. I mean somehow the universe expanded at superluminal speeds during inflation.
Only way to explain Quantum wrap bubble is to make one ? Earth magnetic field makes a natural wrap bubbles ?Many way Movement works in physics.

Ok, one solution requires infinite energy and the other requires a spaceship made from Thors Hammer. Got it! We are so close....

I think we are having a traditional approach on 'travel' yet.

Ian we need to do this now not in 1thous years our planet won't last that long!
the only way any kind of interstellar travel would be possible, is when we learn how to project gravity in front of the ship and use the gravitational pull as a propulsion ,infinity would be in reach!!!
Wouldn't stopping be a problem?

Thanks Arvin Ash for the nice content.
I don't think that the "death star" ship will be that practical, because it may help those on the ship to reach far distances in shorter time, in their perspective, however for those outside of the ship the trip takes a long time causing a big time difference, which will not be nice(going for 20 months and coming back to see those who where with you 20 years older).
Plus these trips to other planets would most probably be for exploration with the headquarters being on earth and so for them this ship makes no difference in the duration of the trip.
I partly agree with you. Suppose you have a ship moving at 0.5C to another star and it will reach the star in ten years. Then, a question one may ask is by how much older do we want the passengers to be when they get there, as indeed choosing how massive is the ship can make a huge difference. And there you are, travelling to another star and choosing between being 10 years older upon arrival or a few weeks older. This is all, of course, while having in mind that creating massive warp drives is hard.
I agree with you. The solution proposed doesn't make practical sense. It would be much easier to simply look for a cryogenic sleep solution. There is no need for time dialation inside the ship.
The main reason to look for a warp drive is so that people outside don't have to wait years to see the result.

@@petehoefler9529 Your right, perhaps more along the lines of things that we’ll have to discover through synthesis before finding it in nature.
I love how the spacecraft designs for FTL tech are looking more and more like those seen out of Star Trek and Star Wars
I deeply appreciate the amount of research and effort you put into your videos.

"Accelerating anything with mass to the speed of light, let alone beyond, requires an infinite amount of energy. This would be true for any warp engine design and is a physical impossibility that cannot be achieved."
But that's not true. Were this true, the entire point of having a warp drive would be lost. The point of warping the space-time continuum to begin with is so as to achieve relativistic "superluminal" speeds WITHOUT having to attempt doing so in normal space for the very reason you state: nothing with mass can attain, much less surpass, light speed.
Warping the space-time continuum permits us to create a "shortcut" through space by decreasing time and space (distance) via the warp... such that the ship, itself, relativistically travels faster than light without ever actually attaining anywhere near light speed in normal space... thus, sidestepping the whole nothing-with-mass-can-attain-light-speed dilemma. That's the entire point to the warp drive in the first place!
You are stating things that are pure speculation as if they are facts. I find it disturbing that so many scientifically minded people have no qualms about doing this, just because they wish something to be true. It's the opposite of scientific to do so.
@@NondescriptMammal Don't blame me for your lack of understanding re: this hypothesis. I never said it was real; I argued strictly within the parameters of the warp-drive hypothesis in question. Learn basic logic skills before jumping to illogical conclusions...and then publicly venting them.
@@FatherVampire I am simply pointing out the high degree of speculation in the whole last paragraph of your previous comment. I am not blaming you for anything, I have no dog in the fight... you are free to imagine whatever you please obviously.
But you state it as if it is fact, when there is no more solid scientific basis for it than if I were to say unicorns can fly over my back yard and paint everything the color of sparkly rainbows. It's purely unscientific not to qualify such wild-eyed speculations for what they are, rather than stating them as established facts.
I love that Alexey, Astrophysicist of the Advanced Propulsion Laboratory, who solved the problem of negative mass and contributed to the development of warp drive, looks like he just remembered he left the gas on.
This topic is so interesting. Also when it comes to the warp drive with positive energy, it is said that it might cause a creation of a black hole, due to massive energy in a small area, and also cause some paradoxes.
Indeed, this should be carefully studied! The metrics we and other people propose by themselves do not collapse into a black hole, but they assume implicitly that there exist materials that can support the bubble. Finding solutions that can work with normal positive-energy materials is the first step in this direction.
@@alexeybobrick4634Nice paper! Have you worked out the tensile strength of the material to support the bubble? Apparently, Larry Niven got a letter from Freeman Dyson where he worked out the tensile strength for the material making up the ringworld would need to be 'comparable to the strong nuclear force'.
@@user-qf6yt3id3w We are looking into these things! So far, a good rule of thumb is as follows - the bigger the structure, the more mass one would need, in linear proportion, but also the bigger the structure - the easier it gets to find a material that will sustain it.

Great video
Fantastic video, I feel more informed now :)
How very interesting. Love seeing the physics equations explained too, thanks Mr. Ash. Great graphics.
Happy to see progress in this area. But putting people in a giant stasis chamber and then calling it warp drive because they age slower, is stretching it in my book
Sure, I don't disagree. I think the point of these papers, as I said at the end, is that this is a starting point, and further research may (and likely will) reveal efficiencies that will decrease the extreme mass requirements.
How would an occupant in this space ship not be ripped apart by the intense gravity? Even at the very center of the sphere the gravity would be stretching you way passed your elastic limit. On top of that, how would you get inside of this space craft without being killed instantly when you got near it?

Thanks for making a video on this recent news... ❤
Love your work! great post :). I've got a random question though. Anyone else thinks;
-(The only way to move at that speed is to have zero friction, absolutely none. no air, gasses, gravity, or mass. Friction is the only thing holding us back.)-
Why did you scribble out fact.
Great presentation.
Thank you for taking the time to put it together. Many interesting points and take aways to think about and I agree that the most interesting is that on paper at least for now and the foreseeable future we know that it is at least possible. Possibility is the only nessesity required for humanity to be able to set a goal to strive for and then hopefully eventually reach than exceed it.
We had to walk before we drove we had to drive before we flew we had to fly before we left our world.
What will the next step in humanity's progression to interplanetary travel be ?
Who knows but knowing that it is at least in the realm of possibility gives humanity as a whole something to strive towards and hopefully eventually reach.
As always, when Arvin explains, pedagogy takes notes.
Thanks ❤️
Wonderfully executed video, you're a damn good teacher
Always amazing informative vids
can you make a ripple instead of constantly having to use the bubble to feed the speed ? like a jump warp drive where you do a short drip then ride then once you slow down to a sufficient speed you do the same again ? would that solve some of the energy needed ?
Nice video as always! But you missed something in the intro. If we could travel with the speed of light or at least very very close (without warp drive) then the travel to proxima centauri wouldn't take 4.2 years. From the perspective of the people inside the ship it would take no time nor distance because of lenght contraction and time dialation, as both are infinite at the speed of light.
I didn't make is clear. I was referring to traveling at the speed of light in a warp drive. There would be no time dilation on such a ship.

listen to your theories and good to know and share your enthusiasm for science. What magnificent times we live in.

Theories that exist today would not have been possible without the breakthroughs of yesterday. The more people that get involved in such projects, means more progress can be made.
It's a long journey, but its one worth doing. Even if we could only go .5c it would massive open up space exploration in our own solar system. Make mining easier in space, actually support colonies in the solar system and more.
Love it,.
Creating a gravity field around a spaceship so the occupants can experience time at a different rate is something Bob Lazar said he personally witnessed at area 51 over 30 years ago. It's neat that these two people worked out the math, but the concept has been around for a long time.

it's now even weirder that we havent met any aliens yet, but damn it's also friggin cool.

@@AnD1262 I think you're comment is funny because with recent videos verified from the pentagon, we are seeing craft that travel like what this video describes and no one has an answer on who they belong to. I don't think we are going to be the ones who go out and find the aliens bro. The aliens already know we are here.
@@bonez2450 so they are large and heavy so heavy in fact it noticeably disturbs the orbit of the earth? oh and very slow at accelerating but with half C speed limit? I know for a fact that's not what you are talking about. Also, America is known for this, pretend there's something weird is going on that they don't know what it is, turns out they have unperfected tech that's about 20-40 years more advanced than current tech and are testing it. I wouldn't be surprised if there are aliens here but I also don't think it would be weird if we never meet any if they aren't.
Bonez I’ll give you the answer: it’s literally just a bird, or plane, or reflection. Some normal thing that is blurry in the video, so it must be “aliens”. Every single video can be explained as a simple object that’s out of focus. If there are so many aliens wandering around, why isn’t there a single high quality video?
@@vibaj16 not true at all not every video can be debunked lol those "grainy" navy released videos are thermal cameras and infared cameras and they have been caught on radar. go watch 60 minutes they just did one on the fact that there has been several UFOs in restricted air space every day for decades. The Navy released footage of the radar scan on a Ship and there was at one point 14 UFOs surrounding the ship and moving at speeds that are untraceable. There is several clear videos and pictures of UFOs taken by military personnel and several videos of veterans from several wars and not in war claiming what they saw was not human and that they defied all known aerodynamics and physics. Sure say these men and women of literally all ages old and dying to young and concerned people who served our country. Up until recent years you were never supposed to report them because they knew they were there but couldnt do anything about them but now all Military personnel are required to report and fill out documents involving what they saw which proves the government cant hide the truth about UFOs entirely anymore so they will disclose there existence but thats about it.
Even though warp drive may be theoretically possible, the energy and/or mass required makes it unfeasible. To my mind this offers the best solution to the Fermi Paradox. The reason aliens are not buzzing around the galaxy is because interstellar travel is, if not impossible, so difficult as to make it unfeasible.
There are no Aliens visiting or visited because we are all alone in the Universe :-)
I would be curious to know what you mean by the first person, plural pronoun “we”. If what you mean by “we” is “we human beings” it is clearly false. We share our planet with literally millions of different species of sentient beings some very different from we human beings. If you mean “intelligent creatures”, then you are still making a false claim, since there are many animals, such as dolphins, that are every bit as intelligent as we are, albeit with a different type of intelligence.
@Grundle Muffins Yes, I have heard that theory, although it is my guess that time travel is every bit as unfeasible as faster than light travel.
@@uncommonsensewithpastormar2913 I made the comment rather tongue in cheek. But since you asked, I mean "we" as intelligent beings that have capacity to even attempt space travel. Dophins and Chimps cant remotely do this. "Aliens" are in same category as humans in this regard. I think you already know this as that is the premise that gave rise to the Fermi paradox in the first place.
@@uncommonsensewithpastormar2913 or Warp Drive technology is so hard that every intelligent species will go extinct before inventing this technology

The gravity produced by such a ship would crush us. The gravity would overwhelm any physically possible material meaning we would just be held against the surface as a blood puddle.
I love dozens of your videos, and this is the first oversight Ive noticed.
correct!!!
The gravity would have to be aimed more or less. Though I don’t think we necessarily need a bubble. Maybe just contracting the space directly in front of the ship. This is all going to require huge jumps in knowledge of physics and engineering anyways. We’d have to know how to manipulate gravity.

Wow really? Can’t wait!
Yeah, I can't wait too, because this will never happen, so I won't.
I think if we are going for making time pass faster for the people on the ship rather than actually getting there faster, the best solution would be advancing medical technology to the point of being able to cryogenically freeze somebody, then wake them up 100 years later with them not knowing that much time has passed at all. This would eliminate the need for a lot of mass, a lot of energy (other than the already enormous about of energy to accelerate any object to nearly the speed of light and then back down to a slow speed), and a solution to keeping alive the people on this ship which is dense enough to vaporize them into the floor just by being inside it.
Another alternative would be actually turning people into light, shooting them to a receiver in the location they are going to, and then reconstructing them there. Obviously that requires already being in that location to build such a receiver, but shooting a bunch of light over a long distance is much more efficient than an entire ship, energy-wise.
The other issue with that is figuring out how you safely turn somebody into a beam of light without dissolving their conscience, and that could only really be known if we could figure out what "conscience" is in the first place, and how they remain continuous from birth to death (or potentially, how they do not).
Something tells me that we'll achieve something like this, but only on an incredibly small scale. Maybe one day we'll send micro spheres with cameras on round trips to distant systems to see what's there.
honestly even if we can only send microscopic cameras ftl, that'd still be a game changer. actually, idea: what if, using that micro-warp, we sent itty-bitty pieces of larger machines and/or cargo in individual warp bubbles, and then just have them be reassembled at their destination?

First, we have recall that mass and energy are the same thing, call it mass-energy. Negative mass would be mass whose weight was a negative number, say, something that weighed less than zero, like --42 pounds. Negative energy would be what you got if you converted that to energy.

You got my hopes up, only to be let down. What we need is superluminal travel without the time dilation.
What's the point of going somewhere quickly when by the time you get back no one you know will be there? Time dilation is like having a fast-forward button for the universe. You make everything else act more quickly than you do. In the "Death Star" example, people on earth would still live for that 9 year span so even if you went to AC and came right back, that's 18 years on Earth. Anyone who took that trip who had a child the day they left would come back to a grown adult. Yet for the traveller, only 20 months have passed so they're not much older. This has been explored before, most notably in Interstellar.
This technology would be great for initial or early stages colonization of extrasolar areas, as those people would inherently know they are on a one-way mission (much like colonists were when exploring the New World), but you must also think of how that ship will communicate with Earth. Due to such dilation, no direct communication can happen as we see with Star Trek and other related sci-fi.
So, what's the point if we can't yet take a 3 week vacation to the nearest star systems and be back in time for work on Monday? Don't get me wrong, I think that the progress that has been made in showing that positive matter warp bubbles is possible is a phenominal step in the right direction. It's just not going to excite me until the tech is comercially adaptable. In the same way that SpaceX and others are making spaceflight more affordable, I know that eventually, however we figure it out, we will be able to get the cost down so that even low-income people can use the service. When we have the science to do that, the tech will follow, and then you can call me.
great video!
