This Black Hole Could Help Us Build a Real, Working Warp Drive

• Researchers just announced the creation of a new kind of simulated black hole.
• The “black hole” is made primarily out of sound waves and glycerin, and bends light in the same ways that the intense gravity of black holes does.
• The scientists hope that it will get them closer to their goal of eventually producing a real, working warp drive.

Warp drives have been a dream of sci-fi nerds and theoretical physicists alike for . . .
