Finally

The words all us geeks have wanted to hear. Warp drive is not impossible.

What it boils down to is breaking the speed barrier of light. So far nothing we have does this. According to the article: "this speed limit only applies within space-time (the continuum of three dimensions of space plus one of time that we live in). While any given object can't travel faster than light speed within space-time, theory holds, perhaps space-time itself could travel."



So now that the physicist has spoken, here it is in simpler terms.
