An international team of physicists has found a way for a hypothetical warp drive to operate using ordinary physics, by eliminating the drive’s need for the seemingly-impossible exotic energies that would be required to bend the very fabric of space and time around the traveler. Although the universe imposes aread more
A veteran NASA engineer has announced that his private company has made a major breakthrough in electrostatic propulsion, with one of their test devices producing at least one Earth gravity of force using only an electrical charge—without the use of any propellant. He believes that their devices may be demonstratingread more

Ever since astronomers Konstantin Batygin and Michael Brown hypothesized in 2016 that an undiscovered planet hidden in the far reaches of the solar system was responsible for the odd orbits of the dwarf planets that lurk there, astrophysicists have searched in vain for this enigmatic ninth planet. But other theories have alsoread more
