A research paper has suggested that a warp drive capable of moving a craft at faster than light speed could indeed be possible. The paper, Putting the ‘Warp’ into Warp Drive
[PDF] by Gerald Cleaver and Richard Obousy, two Baylor University physicists, suggests that the speed of light could be broken by manipulating the fabric of space to create a bubble that a craft would ride upon. Einstein’s laws of relativity would not be violated by such a drive since the craft itself would remain stationary and the bubble of space it moves in would be mobile. This would also shield passengers from the enormous G forces from such acceleration
