Traveling Through Universe Faster Than Speed of Light Possible Theoretically
The enticing world of Star Trek has not only attracted sci-fi fanboys, but also researchers and scientists who were intrigued by the many concepts shown in the movies. In a recent research news, Geraint Lewis, Professor of Astrophysics at University of Sydney, has been found to share that the new findings from the world of mathematics prove that there's a mechanism for us to travel through the universe at a speed nominally faster than the speed of light - A phenomenon referred to as 'warp drives' in Star Trek series. As shown in the movies, Warp Drive is a hypothetical faster-than-light propulsion system fitted into a spacecraft.
According to Prof. Lewis, Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity that he wrote in 1915, could be decoded in the next 100-200 years to give us a solution that lets humans travel at high-speeds across the universe. He says that by understanding how space and time can bend, scientists could elevate their space travel ambitions even further.
He also talks about space-time wobble, in that how researchers are striving for half a century to detect such wobbles. The new gravitational telescopes with high sensitivity are being built for detecting the gravitational waves - the ripples in the curvature of space and time (a theory first proposed by Albert Einstein in 1916).
It is now being said that if Einstein's general theory of relativity is coupled with the scientific know-how of quantum mechanics, the next century is likely to unravel the deeper and darker secrets of the universe.
