Is faster-than-light travel possible, or are we forever bound by the speed of light? In this episode of STEM to Stern, Chauntée and Jake explore the mind-bending theories that could one day make interstellar travel a reality.

Topics covered:

• Wormholes: Theoretical shortcuts through spacetime

• The Alcubierre Drive: Could we ride a warp bubble across the galaxy?

• The energy problem: How much power would it take to travel between stars?

• Sci-fi vs. reality: What movies get right (and wrong) about space travel

Could the future of space exploration be closer than we think, or is light speed our cosmic speed limit? Tune in for a deep dive into the science behind interstellar travel and let us know – would you take a trip through a wormhole?
