DENISE ZUBIZARRETA

In Star Trek – a warp bubble, also known as a static warp bubble or static warp field, is a type of sub space deformation, a warp in the fabric of space. A person could become trapped within a warp bubble; escape would depend on creating a stable threshold between the warp bubble and the outside environment. In 2021, a team of engineers and physicists led by former NASA engineer Harold ‘Sonny’ White said they had discovered the right conditions to, theoretically, create a small warp bubble in a lab. This tiny world is much more than a trapped depiction of an otherworldly planet. It’s also part of the space that surrounds it and the bubbles are how we can finally get there.
