We live in a time where more and more, science fiction is crossing paths with science fact. Scientists have begun to ponder the creation of a ‘warp drive,’ which would be able to take us to Alpha Centauri in only 2 weeks, as opposed to 4.3 years moving at the speed of light.
The idea is that a warp drive could stretch spacetime, causing the fabric of space ahead of the spacecraft to contract, while it expands behind the craft. This would allow the ship to bend the laws of physics and move much much much faster than the speed of light.
If you could travel like that, where in the universe would you visit? Would you go to see supermassive stars? Or burgeoning planets?
