Feasibility study
In 1994, Miguel Alcubierre, a Mexican theoretical physicist, showed that compressing spacetime in front of the spaceship while expanding it behind was mathematically possible within the laws of General Relativity . So, what does that mean?

Understanding time warp
Physicists’ current understanding of spacetime comes from Albert Einstein’s theory of General Relativity . General Relativity states that space and time are fused and that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. G...

General Relativity V.S. Special Relativity
Theory of General and Special Relativity are both immensely well known theories that discuss gravity in some aspect or another.
The chief difference that can be made between them is the level of completeness. But what exactly does each theory talk about?

Human teleportation may be possible
Human teleportation may be possible within 100 years. The transport of a simple molecule may be possible in the next 10 years, followed by DNA.
Perhaps warping spacetime could count as a method of teleportation, similar to the folded paper analogy, where you bring two distant points togeth...
