Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre decided to figure out if the "warp drive" from his favorite science fiction shows was possible.

The occupants of the bubble won't feel anything weird, but instead, their destination simply comes closer.

Paul received his PhD in Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2011 .

His research focuses on many diverse topics, from the emptiest regions of the universe to the earliest moments of the Big Bang to the hunt for the first stars.

He is the host of the popular "Ask a Spaceman !" podcast and author of " Your Place in the Universe" and "How to Die in Space".
