Dark Matter, Energy, Faster-Than-Light TravelAbstract
Faster-than-light (FTL) travel has been implemented throughout science fiction to indicate highly advanced civilizations. Going past the cosmic speed limit would be a big leap for mankind, allowing for possibilities from exploration, improved chances of species survival, and availability of resources. However, there are many barriers associated with FTL travel, from the infinite mass plight in conventional travel to the necessity of exotic matter for warp drives. In this paper, the barriers associated with FTL travel are examined and a hypothetical improvement is presented through the utilization of dark matter and energy.
