Researchers from the University of Sydney have done some advanced crunching of numbers regarding the effects of FTL space travel via Alcubierredrive, taking into consideration the many types of cosmic particles that would be encountered along the way.
Proposed by Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre in 1994, the drive would propel a ship at superluminal speeds by creating a bubble of negative energy around it, expanding space (and time) behind the ship while compressing space in front of it.
