Apparently, “Star Trek” fans were still out there, some doing their imitation of warp-drive speed on the roads, or just driving badly, and using replicas of the plates with the starship tag.

But scientists have long theorized how a real-life warp drive might work, the most famous example being the Alcubierre drive, a design that Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre, Ph.D., put forth in ...

Plus, even if we wanted to build this warp drive, the gulf between this hyper-theoretical work and an actual, physical propulsion mechanism is the same as the difference between writing down ...

Could warp drive actually work? According to Dr. Erin Macdonald, Star Trek's science advisor, the answer is yes. But a recent moment in 'Discovery' Season 5 finally fixed an old Star Trek problem.
