The Wikipedia page on warp drive seems pretty well-curated: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_drive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_drive Trek-universe ships don't travel through space; they travel in "bubbles" of local space so that relativity is preserved. These bubbles then move at hundreds or thousands of times the speed of light... somehow.
