My research project is titled, “Traveling at the Speed of Light.” This project explores the possibilities of reaching faster than light travel through means of the Alcubierre Warp Drive, worm holes, or Mill’s hypothetical warp drivers. Analysis of these theoretical systems has led to the conclusion that exotic matter is necessary to make FTL travel possible.
