NASA management recently announced that its scientists are currently time work on creating a space liner capable of to overcome 3 million kilometers per second. You understand, it’s in ten times faster than the speed of light.
A similar ship, as some astronomers note, all will remain a slow tortoise within the Universe, however in in this case, it can easily go beyond the limits of the solar system – in just a few months, and also quickly return to Earth. That is, the radius of the examination of outer space is significantly (just fantastic, frankly) will increase, especially compared to today’s speeds at which capable while terrestrial spacecraft.
This, without any exaggeration, set an ambitious task in front of us is a team of scientists from the NASA Space Center, which led by Harold White. According to the already outlined project, ship of the future (hopefully not so distant) will become ellipsoidal and approximately the size of a football pad. His field is surrounded by a ring of negative energy-matter, which allows you to bend space-time, thereby moving interstellar carrier very quickly over long distances.
For a better understanding, Harold White gives an example of aerial ball:
If you draw two points on it from different sides, then they will be at a considerable distance from each other. However, if release air from the balloon, then these points can not only zoom in, even almost instantly connect. Of course, simplified example, but in principle the curvature of space-time also works – it instantly connects two points located from each other at a tremendous distance, thereby allowing move a ship in space at a speed much greater than speed of light.
White ship will be hybrid, in near-earth orbit it will become display a conventional rocket engine (maybe over time more perfect), but then the device, like the astronauts in it, will start hyperspace movement.

Harold White’s team is now working to laboratory conditions collapse the space-time interval, just a little bit …
Scientists are confident that they will succeed, why he White to the question, when will such a ship of the future be ready, answers clearly and clearly – soon!
And while skeptics call White’s project utopian, in fact no one knows how much things can turn out really. After all, still ten years ago no one believed in the existence of the Higgs boson, which has become a fact today. Tell our grandparents the last century about computers and other “miracles” with which we use, without even thinking about their fantastic, they would not just did not believe in all this, but most likely did not even understand what is it – a computer, the Internet and other troubles of our of being …
