Scenarios about 'alcubierre drive'
The Alcubierre drive is a theoretical faster-than-light propulsion system based on a solution to Einstein's field equations proposed by physicist Miguel Alcubierre in 1994. It theoretically works by contracting space-time in front of a spacecraft while expanding it behind, creating a "warp bubble" that allows the vessel to travel faster than light without violating special relativity. In alternate history scenarios, the successful development of this technology often serves as a point of divergence enabling interstellar civilizations and dramatically altering humanity's relationship with space exploration.
