Abstract

A superluminal motion (hypermotion) via M. Alcubierre’s warp drive is considered. Parameters of the warp drive have been estimated. The equations of starship geodesics have been solved. The starship velocity have been shown to exceed the speed of light, with the local velocity relative to the deformed space-time being below it. Hawking’s radiation does not prove to affect the ship interior considerably. Difficulties related to a practical realization of the hypermotion are indicated.

Summary

Introduction

If one assumes that our Galaxy has been explored by developed extraterrestrial civilizations in the same way as we had been sailing the world’s ocean in the Age of Exploration and the Great Navigations, it is necessary for different civilizations to traverse the distances that separate them. While moving at a velocity close to the speed of light (via a photon engine), This is an Open Access article published by World Scientific Publishing Company. A wormhole connecting the start and destination points through a handle is one of the possibilities of coming to the destination point using a shorter route. Another possibility is to contract the spacetime ahead of the starship. The starship mass exceeds 10−2MJ, if R > 100m, where MJ is the solar mass
