Warp drive

A warp drive is a spacecraft propulsion system (popular in Star Trek) where a spacecraft equipped with a warp drive may travel at speeds faster than light by many orders of magnitude. In contrast to some other fictitious faster-than-light technologies such as a jump drive, the warp drive does not permit instantaneous travel between two points, but rather involves a measurable passage of time. In contrast to hyperspace, spacecraft at warp velocity would continue to interact with objects in "normal space."
