New research suggests what would happen to the space around a failing warp drive.

A team from the Queen Mary University of London , Cardiff University , the University of Potsdam and the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics found gravitational waves could be detected if warp drives fail.

In Star Trek, exotic matter with negative mass allows the USS Enterprise to travel at faster-than-light.

There is no real evidence warp drives could exist, but that doesn't mean these findings are without applications.

The team's research was published in the Open Journal of Astrophysics .

The researchers hope to extend the techniques to physical situations that can help us better understand evolution and origin of our universe.
