Nasa has revealed that it is planning to develop warp travel and wormholes to make it possible to travel into the distant universe.
The agency says it will research unknown physics in an effort to ‘revolutionise space exploration’.
By improving our understanding of gravity, space-time and the quantum vacuum, the agency says it might soon be possible to send robots on interstellar missions.
These breakthrough forms of propulsion are just some of the many technologies the agency has announced it will be working on for the next 20 years as part of their Technology Roadmaps.
Among the 15 areas to be studied are robots, human exploration, landing systems and nanotechnology.
But it is the emerging propulsion technologies that are of most interest, with Nasa revealing it will try to crack physics in the laboratory to create engines never seen before.
