    Can we travel faster than light?

To travel the universe as in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, we need to travel faster than light. According to Einstein, it is simply impossible for us to do so- matter cannot travel faster than light. ah... but there is a way around this, suggested by the physicist Miguel Alcubierre in 1994. Imagine you could generate a gravitation force that contracted space-time in front of a ship and expanded space-time behind it. You woulk, in effect, travel across the universe without movement, much like a surfer is still as he rides a wave. 

Called the Alcubierre Drive, is is serious enough tat in 2012 Nasa and oter organizations created the "100-year Spanceship Project". Their objective? To achieve interestellar travel by 2112

*ALMOST REAL!

Here is Nasa's desing for a Star-Trek style spaceship that could travel faster than the speed of light. Tis name? The IXS Enterprise!h
