Y’ALL!!!!!!! GUESS WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?!?! LISTEN UP!!!!!
THE WARP DRIVE IS NOW EVEN CLOSER TO BEING POSSIBLE THAN EVER BEFORE!!!
So, to put this as a caveat, this is definitely still a very very long way to go and a Work In Progress! BUT. One of the main theoretical issues with getting a working warp drive is the requirement for negative mass, or negative energy, in order for the warp drive to function and propel the USS Enterprise forwards at a speed faster than light.
THIS STUDY HAS PRODUCED QUASIPARTICLES WITH NEGATIVE MASS!!!
