spacetime solution in which a region is carried faster than light by contracting space ahead and expanding it behind, needing negative energy.

In gravitational physics, Alcubierre drive refers to spacetime solution in which a region is carried faster than light by contracting space ahead and expanding it behind, needing negative energy. This meaning comes from Alcubierre (1994) in Classical and Quantum Gravity.[1]
