Icarus Interstellar
Michio Kaku dubbed Alcubierre’s notion a “passport to the universe.“ It takes advantage of a quirk in the cosmological code that allows for the expansion and contraction of space-time, and could allow for hyper-fast travel between interstellar destinations. Essentially, the empty space behind a starship would be made to expand rapidly, pushing the craft in a forward direction — passengers would perceive it as movement despite the complete lack of acceleration.
Scientists speculate that such a drive could result in “speeds“ that could take a spacecraft to Alpha Centauri in a mere two weeks — even though the system is 4.3 light-years away.
