This is made possible by a fictional technology called the warp drive, which bends or "warps" space-time itself, allowing a ship to move vast distances in the blink of an eye without violating the universal speed limit set by Einstein’s theory of relativity. Instead of pushing a ship through space, the warp drive moves space around the ship. In theory, the space in front of the ship is contracted while…
