Warp Drive

Warp drive is a hypothetical faster-than-light (FTL) propulsion system in many w

orks, most notably Star Trek. A spacecraft equipped with a warp drive may travel
at apparent speeds greater than that of light by many orders of magnitude. In c
ontrast to other hypothetical FTL technologies such as a jump drive or hyper dri
ve, the warp drive does not permit instantaneous (or near instantaneous) travel
between two points but involves a measurable passage of time. Spacecraft at warp
velocity can continue to interact with objects in "normal space". Some of the o
ther fiction in which warp drive technology is featured include: Stars!, EVE Onl
ine, Earth and Beyond, StarCraft, DarkSpace, Starship Troopers, Doctor Who, WALL
-E, FTL: Faster Than Light and Star Ocean.
