[net.startrek] Question concerning Warp Drive

worp@ih1ap.UUCP (Roger Espinosa) (07/19/84)

This is a question concerning the feasibility of warp drive.  
For instance, what is warp drive? How does it work? Does it
attempt to defy Einstein's Theory of Relativity, or does it
implore subwarps in spacetime?  
The latter seems to be the most logical assumption, to my eyes,
but how? In the TV show, no explanation was given.  It was just
some neat way to get from one sector to another.  And, if it does 
indeed implore subwarps, WHY DO DIFFERENT WARP SPEEDS EXIST???

This is the only thing which has ever bothered me about STAR TREK.
If there are those in the universe out there that can clarify this
for me, please do.
