The physicists are attempting to harness the power of Quantum Entanglement – a bizarre force which allows one particle to ‘talk’ to a mirror particle even if it is on the other side of the universe.
Quantum Entanglement is also believed to control gravity – and that interfering with, or switching-off, this entanglement could be the key to travelling mind-blowing distances in a fraction of a second.000
However, some fear interfering with gravity could lead to the kind of universal catastrophe thus far only seen in science fiction books.
Gravity has been seen as a basic force of the universe since Isaac Newton’s Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica in 1687 – but it’s causes are only now beginning to be understood.
Jeremy Rys, is the founder and CEO of Hover Brothers, a research team looking at building a real, working warp drive.
The team have built on top-secret work carried out by Boeing’s Phantom Works in the early part of the century which attempted to create anti-gravity.
But Mr Rys now believes advances in quantum understanding and his team’s revolutionary PHOENIX theory will make a practical Star Trek like warp drive a reality within 20 years.
Step one, he says, is to ‘float rocks.’
He said: “Right now in mainstream physics there is a massive revolution about to take place.
“Quantum entanglement somehow holds the key theory to quantum gravity and the physics community is about to discover how gravity really works.
