A mathematical test for the nature of space-time – the fabric of physical reality – may be the first step towards novel computer-like devices that process information using gravity. Eleftherios-Ermis ...

A new paper suggests that we may be able to spot alien spaceships hopping between distant stars using "warp drives" because the sci-fi-inspired technology would give off specific gravitational waves ...
