Patent Issued for Warp Drive
The US Patent and Trademark Office has issued a patent for a "Space vehicle propelled by the pressure of inflationary vacuum state." In other words, a warp drive. From the summary of the invention: "This invention concerns devices self-propelled by the artificially changed properties of the pressure of inflationary vacuum state to speeds possibly approaching the light-speed specific for this modified locale. Furthermore, this invention concerns devices capable of generating the spacetime anomaly characterized by the elevated vacuum pressure density. The devices combining these capabilities may be able to move at speeds substantially higher than the light-speed in the ambient space." The inventor, Boris Vulfson, has further details at his Web site.
