Not exactly the Enterprise
Until now, there has been little idea about what a spaceship propelled by a warp drive (or a warpship) would look like. Would it resemble the sleek Starship Enterprise? Or will it be like nothing we’ve seen before?
After speaking with Dr. Richard Obousy, he shared his concept for a futuristic, yet scientifically accurate, warpship design.
The physics behind the warpship is purely theoretical, however. ‘Dark energy’ needs to be understood and harnessed, plus vast amounts of energy needs to be generated, meaning the warpship is a technology that could only be conceived in the far future. That said, Dr. Obousy’s warpship design uses our current knowledge of spacetime and superstring theory to arrive at this futuristic concept.
So here’s your exclusive look at what could be the future warp drive propulsion…
