An engine capable of faster-than-light speeds,[1] warp drive was invented by a Centauran scientist named Zefram Cochrane.[2] Without warp drive, destinations that were otherwise days away were, instead, years distant.[3]
Warp drive "consists of the generation of a field about a spacecraft which bends or warps space in the direction of travel. ... Since space is being moved relative to itself ... no neighboring regions exceed the speed of light. However, the total effect on the ship ... is multi-light velocities [which] ... avoids the speed constraints imposed by the theory of relativity."[4]
The so-called "time barrier," or warp factor four,[4] was broken[1] due to improvements in matter/antimatter engine design. This made much more energy available, allowing for more powerful warp field generators to be used.[4]
