Jam packed issues filled with the latest cutting-edge research, technology and theories delivered in an entertaining and visually stunning way, aiming to educate and inspire readers of all agesNew research"boldly goes" where physicists have never gone before, suggesting what would happen to the space around a failing warp drive., aka so-called"superluminal" speeds.

The more mass an object has, the more extreme the curvature of space it generates and, thus, the stronger its gravitational effect. Light and other objects with mass are forced to journey around the complex warping of space.Breaking space news, the latest updates on rocket launches, skywatching events and more!Receive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsors

Just as some light is too high frequency to be seen by our eyes, this high-frequency burst of gravitational waves would be beyond the detection capability of interferometers like the"In our study, the initial shape of the spacetime is the warp bubble described by Alcubierre," team member Sebastian Khan of Cardiff University said.

"For me, the most important aspect of the study is the novelty of accurately modeling the dynamics of negative energy spacetimes and the possibility of extending the techniques to physical situations that can help us better understand the evolution and origin of our universe," team member Tim Dietrich from the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics said in the statement.
