Everything within space is restricted by the speed of light, but the really cool thing is space-time, the fabric of space, is not limited by the speed of light.
The concept for the Star Trek-inspired warp-drive is simple to grasp. A new study found that, at least in the case of warp drives, faster-than-light-travel may be possible by taking advantage of a ‘loop hole’ in general relativity. Some of the most outlandish science fiction concepts include teleportation and warp drive, both of which have been traditionally frowned upon because they would break the laws of physics - or so we thought. Scientists have often turned to fiction for inspiration about what secrets of nature they could unlock.
