Maybe in the future, but not now.�NASA announced that they conducted experiments with Electromagnetic Propulsion in a vacuum last week.
Some theories suggest it is. Warp in ST is short for time warp factor, meaning essentially time travel. Many learned men say if we can obtain enough speed we can travel through time and even some experiments suggest it IS very possible when technology is advanced enough. There are other theories it may not even be necessary that speculate points in space can be bent to reduce the distance
Dilithium
Star Trek: First Contact
According to Wikipedia, the Enterprise (NCC-1701) had a maximum speed of warp 9.(Article: "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(NCC-1701)")
Technically the Warp Drive was known as a "Gravimetric Field Displacement Manifold" ~ see related link below .
The method for achieving warp speed in Star Trek is to warp the space around the vessel and leave the vessel in a pocket of normal space. It contracts space time in front of the vessel and expands the space time behind it.
The "warp drive" is a ficticious device used in science fiction - specifically, in the Star Trek series. It is not a real device, and I don't think many details are published about how it is supposed to work.
Most of the space ships on Star Trek are powerd by Dilithium a very common substance. The ships are able to move at sub-light speeds or warp(the speed of light and faster). They are powerd by the warp core and the thrusters.
the warp naclles are because they are connected to the warp core(antimater/mater reactor)
In the Star Trek Series 3, the number 3500 is significant because it represents the maximum warp speed of the USS Enterprise, which is the fastest speed the ship can travel in the Star Trek universe.
0.5 light speed
Warp drive is a faster than light propulsion system used in Star Trek. Warp 9 is 1516 times the speed of light ( about) This is 454485366 kilometers per second. At this speed it would take only .66 minutes to cross our entire solar system so bluckle your seat belt!
It turns off by itself in a few minutes if you don't touch it.
