A warp drive would manipulate space-time itself to move a starship, taking advantage of a loophole in the laws of physics that prevent anything from moving faster than light. A mexican physicist suggested the idea in 1994 but with al the calculations they realized it would need an emmense amount of enegry to power it. Everything in space is restricted by the speed of light, that is why a space ship would need to have a similar structure like the one in Star Trek.
Scientist say that If we're ever going to become a true spacefaring civilization, we're going to have to think outside the box a little bit, we're going to have to be a little bit audacious. For some people it is very easy to think outside the box, if they can do it in the movies why cant we?
