Is it possible for you to meet your ancestors?
Is it possible for any of us to travel in time?
The possibilities send shivers down my spine knowing that I can travel back in time and watch my favorite cartoon shows!
You and I know very well that there are many other ways of time traveling, but they are theories and are yet to be proved.
Alcubierre Warp Drive is a device which allows one to travel in space and time and this is inspired by People's favorite film series, Star Wars!
FICTION TO REALITY| IS IT POSSIBLE?

Before discovering more about this question, let us understand the principle on which this spaceship works.
The Warp Drive was first proposed by Mexican Scientist Miguel Alcubierre.
This spaceship warps the space-time around itself thus enables traveling in time. This is very favorable because one cannot think of traveling faster than the speed of light.
The question you may ask that how can it warp space-time around itself?
We can now understand it by saying that this spaceship remains inside a bubble which is surrounded by the rings of negative energy. This phenomenon shrinks the space-time at the front of it and stretch the space-time behind it and this would enable to travel at speed more than the speed of light!
Inside the bubble, the speed would remain ideal i.e less than the speed of light and thus general relativity would remain intact.

Now, after the brief introduction, let us again raise the question, IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?
The answer can be a YES and a NO.
REASON FOR A NO.
Why is there always a NO?!
This spaceship requires energy in huge abundance so as to
create the negative energy.
The only problem is, the warp drive would require a minimum
amount of energy about equal to the mass-energy of the planet Jupiter.
Secondly, there are not any known methods to create a warp bubble in a region of space which would meet the desired requirements. Also, if somehow we come to know how the bubble is made, yet we will face problem in leaving it once we get inside it.
If humanity is really serious about traveling into space, then this idea of warp drive should paid very crucial attention.

How can we overcome the problem?
The recent researches claim that the warp drive could be powered by a mass about the size of a spacecraft like the Voyager 1 probe NASA, launched in 1977, when the ring of exotic/negative matter
will be made of a shape of a doughnut.
Furthermore, if the intensity of the space-time can be oscillated, the energy requirements would also reduce very much.
While scientists are approaching the solutions of different problems, this only opens the gate to other problems. Science is full of LOOPHOLES!
HUMBLE EXPERIMENT.
Scientists have begun experimenting with a tiny version of this warp device in the laboratories.
They set up what they call the White-Juday Warp Field Interferometer at
the Johnson Space Center and it detects micro version of space-time warps.

This project is called a "HUMBLE EXPERIMENT", as it represents a promising first step.
If humanity is really serious about traveling into space, then this idea of warp drive should paid very crucial attention.
There are many questions and problems between humanity and the nearest star. Numerous researches are conducted so as to find an answer.
Alcubierre Warp Drive is also a kind of project which would enable humanity travel at a speed 10 times more than the speed of light.
Although these experiments are yet bounded to the book of theories, they hold a very important answer to our questions.
What do you think about this project. Will humanity be able to travel in space and time?
