NASA DEVELOPING SPACESHIP FASTER THAN LIGHT NAMED "WARP"

NASA scientists are ready to break light speed barrier.Spaceship named WARP DRIVE is being working on to move more faster than the speed of light. They have taken a challenge to bring Star Trek into reality.
NASA scientist Harold White announced that he and his team are working on warp drive spaceship which will travel more faster than speed of light. That idea  shocked the world as it disobeyed the laws of physics. It is like going against the most accepted and biggest physics principles and accepted theories of scientists including Albert Einsteinand many others!
According to theory of Special Relativity object cannot travel more faster than speed of light within spacetime. Light speed barrier is hence termed. It requires energy to increase speed of moving objects. And to match the speed of light, it would need infinite amount of energy. Existence of negative energy is already a topic of debate nowadays, and here we require a great amount of negative energy environment around a moving spaceship.
NASA explains the idea of Alcubierre’s Warp drive through a simple example moving sidewalks at airports. The concept is made analogous to walking on a moving sidewalk, provided that the sidewalk moves faster than one’s walk. This can be executed by contracting spacetime in front of the ship and expanding spacetime behind the ship.
The requirement of negative energy is the major issue. The problem arising would be controlling an environment of negative energy and its effect which is separate to the ship’s working. The situation in which ship would move is completely unknown i.e. warp bubble exceeding speed of light. Warp drive also recalls the time travel issues as in case of Worm Hole transportation.
Mark Rademaker, artist, who worked with White in designing Warp drive ship explains that craft consists of main ship settled between two massive rings of negative energy which would develop the warp bubble. This new version of the ship is more compact and chunkier. According to Harold White, the design accounts for the predictions made according to mathematics of an Alcubierre warp drive currently.
NASA considers the warp drive and faster-than-light travelling spaceships projects at an ‘speculation’ stage. The development cycles of NASA says this is too early stage for warp drive. It has only passed the initial ‘conjecture’ stage of development.
The whole concept of warp drive seems impossible to many, however, works of White have caught eye across the globe. Criticism and research may lead to a positive results. Comment and debate on possibilities of this project.
