The Alcubierre drive is a theoretical concept for faster-than-light (FTL) travel proposed by Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre in 1994. The idea is based on the principles of general relativity and involves manipulating the fabric of spacetime itself. In essence, the Alcubierre drive would work by expanding space behind a spacecraft and contracting space in front of it.
