Since the dawn of time, we humans have always wanted to travel among the stars. These are numerous fictional stories involving the future of science and how it will play out in space exploration. The authors of these science fiction novels clearly realize that we will soon travel into space, far beyond our solar system. Presumably in the near future we will also have the technology to travel deep into the vastness of the galaxy? Why not the universe? The reason I said galaxy instead of universe is because the universe is literally not understandable to us. When I mean understandable I am referring to the fact that the universe is too big to understand. We are essentially a grain of sand compared to the universe, and when I mean a grain of sand I mean it on a molecular level. So is the universe really infinite? If so, will the universe ever end? In literal terms we compare the word infinity to the word universe, which makes no sense. Considering the fact that we already know what the word infinite means, but yet we are not so sure what the word universe actually represents. Basically we haven't discovered enough information to create an exact terminology. So we don't know what the universe contains. Plus, since we're only in the early stages of space travel, there's still a lot to discover out there. Frankly there could be an infinite series of light that never ends. Then again perhaps the light rays reflect each other creating a chain effect. We may also have simply misinterpreted the data as an innuendo. Since there are many theories out there that account for the mechanics of space, time, light intensity, gravity, black holes, and even the beginning of the big bang... middle of paper... space -time itself, causing the space in front of it to contract while the space behind it expands. This warp bubble allows the ship to reach a destination faster than a beam of light traveling through normal space-time. According to relativity, space is malleable, and this is how the FTL engine achieves this feat. The early universe, for example, expanded faster than the speed of light because spacetime itself can expand faster, even though objects within spacetime cannot accelerate faster. In this scenario, the ship containing the FTL drive remains stationary and is carried along the warp bubble, somewhat like a surfboard riding an expanding wave. This means that time dilation and other relativistic effects are not significant, despite the intense speed. In summary, I believe that in the future we will travel among the stars just as airplanes travel the skies today.
