Nasa has revealed that it is planning to develop warp travel and wormholes to make it possible to travel into the distant universe.
The agency says it will research unknown physics in an effort to ‘revolutionise space exploration’.
By improving our understanding of gravity, space-time and the quantum vacuum, the agency says it might soon be possible to send robots on interstellar missions.
These breakthrough forms of propulsion are just some of the many technologies the agency has announced it will be working on for the next 20 years as part of their Technology Roadmaps.
The agency says it will support research ‘to demonstrate microscopic instances of space warp or wormholes.’
In theory, both technologies would bend space time to allow a spacecraft to travel huge distances across four dimensions in the blink of an eye.
