"30 years after warp drives were proposed, we still can't make the math work" :

And for those who can't get enough warp theory ...

"A fictional or hypothetical propulsion mechanism which is capable of manipulating space-time so as to travel faster than light."
(Shorter Oxford English Dictionary [2002]: "Warp Drive")  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_drive)

"A brief history of warp drives" :

"Star Trek warp drive is a possibility, say scientists" :

TREK NOTES:
  "In the fictional universe of Star Trek, the warp drive is a form of faster-than-light (FTL) propulsion. Hyperdrive and jump drive are alternative methods of FTL travel commonly used in fiction." (cf. "Star Trek Dictionary and Research Guide" http://www.123exp-fantasy.com/t/01804080189/ with webliography)

TUCKER:             The gravimetric field displacement manifold, commonly known
                                as the warp reactor.  Just think of it as a great big engine but
                                instead of using electricity or chemical fuel it runs on
                                antimatter. See this swirling light?  When matter and antimatter
                                collide it creates a whole lot of energy.  We channel that energy
                                through those conduits over there.  They lead to the two large
                                glowing cylinders you may have seen on the outside of the ship.
SONSORRA:      The nacelles.
TUCKER:             That's right.
SONSORRA:      Which contain warp coils that create the subspace displacement field.
TUCKER:             I see you already know a thing or two about starship engines.
SONSORRA:      I'm a warp field theorist.
TUCKER:             Oh...  Well, I guess that covers the basics.  [ENT "Cold Front"]
