Warp Drive remained in the world of fiction until 1994 when Mexican Mathematician Miguel Alcubierre presented a mathematical model under which a human-piloted craft could theoretically exceed the speed of light.
A decade passed, but quietly in the background, NASA brought in scientist Dr. Harold G. “Sonny” White in the mid-2000s to continue developing the Warp Drive. White made refinements to the original model, and in 2003 and 2011, significant leaps were made in Warp Drive theory, seemingly making the impossible a little more possible. Even more revisions have been, and today, the leading model for faster-than-light travel is dubbed the Alcubierre/White Warp Drive.
Dr. White has worked with NASA, DARPA, and even Lockheed Martin Skunkworks, all while continuing to refine his concept of the Warp Drive.
In 2018, White left NASA and took his work on advanced propulsion with him. He joined the nascent Limitless Space Institute, a group of scientists and engineers driven by the goal of deep space travel.
Dr. White sat down with The Debrief to talk about his past, what’s next for his warp drive theory, as well as the cutting edge, advanced propulsion projects from scientists around the globe who are supported and sponsored by Limitless Space.

BS Alert!
Unless "negative" energy can be found in this universe (besides the current WH) the Alcubierre Drive remains like the urinals in Grand Central Station... Merely a temporary piss-stop on your way to something really important & workable...
The latest & best current warp drive work is a comprehensive 2020 article by Alexey Bobrick & Gianni Martire...
Introducing Physical Warp Drives
You might want to find a picture without the weird yellow in the front and purple in the back lighting.
Hes as white as his name.
Does this mean we’re about to meet Vulcans in first contact?
Does anyone know what year Zefram Cochrane is born?
