Interstellar Travel.<br>
In a first, this warp drive actually obeys the laws of physics.<br>

<br>
The Alcubierre drive has a glaring problem: the force behind its<br>
operation, called “negative energy,” involves exotic<br>
particles—hypothetical matter that, as far as we know, doesn’t exist<br>
in our universe. And faster-than-light travel is impossible.<br>
<br>
But a new proposal allows for up-to-light-speed warp drive. So, still<br>
impossible at present, but researchers are hopeful.  :)<br>

Interesting article!<br>
