We all know what Einstein said about FTL travel. It’s impossible. However, just google faster than light speed and you get loads of posts claiming NASA is working on a “warp drive”. Every wonk on the net has some angle on this. However with the government cutting NASA’s R&D budget by 3.23 billion dollars NASA Budget. I find it hard to believe much is getting done; maybe a lot of talk, but no progress.
Physicist Phillip Gibbs created a webpage back in 1997 that explains the science behind the possibility of FLT travel and communication that is well worth the read Phil Gibbs Paper. It gets a little technical in spots; he is a physicist. However, take the time to look it over and you’ll see all the hype is just …… well, bullshit.
