A new kind of telescope, a detector called Ligo , was turned on in 2015 , not looking for light waves but for gravitational waves, which are invisible “ripples” in space and time.

In theory, a hypothetical form of technology compresses the space in front of a starship and expands it behind.

The jump from sci-fi to real science was made by theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre in 1994 .

The collapse of the warp drive bubble is indeed an extremely violent event.

The enormous amount of energy needed to warp space-time gets released as both gravitational waves and waves of positive and negative matter energy.

For a 1 kilometer -sized ship, the amplitude of the signal would be significant for any such event within our galaxy and even beyond.
