IS THERE FUTURE POTENTIAL FOR ‘FASTER-THAN-LIGHT’ TRAVEL THROUGH DARK ENERGY SOURCES? AN EXPLORATORY REVIEW

Humanity has long been fascinated by the mysteries of the universe, continuously seeking ways to explore distant galaxies and venture into realms beyond our own. However, the vast distances involved have posed a significant challenge, often measured in terms of the distance light travels over extensive time periods, such as the light year. The notion of faster-than-light (FTL) travel emerged in the late 19th century and has since sparked extensive speculation. While theories have been proposed regarding the possibility of surpassing the speed of light, practical methods for achieving such velocities remain elusive. In recent years, scientific interest has shifted toward the potential of dark energy to facilitate FTL travel. This article delves into the origins of dark energy, its implications for faster-than-light travel, potential applications of FTL technology, physical constraints on FTL travel, and the future prospects of dark energy.
