Warp Factor 6 Number One. It seems that faster then light speed travel is actually possible by manipulating Dark Energy.
"The dark energy is simultaneously decreased just in front of the ship to decrease (and bring to a stop) the expansion rate of the universe in front of the ship," Cleaver told SPACE.com. "If the dark energy can be made negative directly in front of the ship, then space in front of the ship would locally contract."
This loophole means that the spaceship would not conflict with Einstein's Theory of Relativity, which states that objects accelerating to the speed of light require an infinite amount of energy.
There is just one catch:
However, the Baylor physicists estimate that manipulating dark energy through the extra dimension requires energy equivalent to the converting the entire mass of Jupiter into pure energy — enough to move a ship measuring roughly 33 feet (10 meters) by 33 feet by 33 feet.
So the ship would need a Jupiter to Energy conversion engine installed just to make the jump to lightspeed? I think they just need one of those Time energy devices that was developed after the Montauk Experiment.
