A New Black Hole Could Actually Help Us Build a Real, Working Warp Drive
-
Recently, a think tank called Applied Physics—based in New York and focused on understanding and eventually creating a warp drive—got one step closer to making that dream a reality by creating an in-lab “black hole” primarily out of sound waves and glycerin.

Perhaps it will unlock faster than light travel in a medium of glycerine?! ;P

...Critically, a real-life warp drive would not just be a power source that makes you go really, really fast. Rather, it’d be an engine that “warps” the fabric of spacetime around the user, allowing a ship to travel great distances without actually having to physically move across those distances. ... According to a paper published by researchers from Applied Physics in 2021, “warping” spacetime like that could theoretically be possible under the current laws of physics. And as we know, there is no better way to warp spacetime than with intense gravity...
I think I'll pass on that type of travel. If they create that 'intense gravity' around you, at least you never have to go through the Event Horizon? On the other hand, ["The Black Hole"](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078869) - a little childhood nostalgia. The scariest robot I remember.
