“…A second motivation for the selection of this topic is the recent work done by researchers such as E. W. Davis (2006 and of the Institute for Advanced Studies, Austin, TX; by J. C. Garcia-Escartin and P. Chamorro-Posada (2013) from the Universidad de Valladolid, Departamento de Teoría de la Señal y Comunicaciones e Ingeniería Telemática; and the work of P. Lubin (2016) of the University of California, Santa Barbara, Experimental Cosmology Group. These recent contributions are important to this topic because the authors using the scientific formal communication (papers published in well-recognized proceedings and journals) present specific arguments that make extraordinary long-distance space travel a realistic event in the future.…”

Background. Interplanetary travel is a highly scientific and technological area. Scientific institutions and organizations, government agencies, and the media have made this subject popular. It is also a major aspect of science fiction. An exploration of the subject can be of interest to a wide audience. Objective. To define the major scientific and technical aspects of interplanetary travel and present them to the non-scientific reader. Method. Relevant citations on the subject were obtained from the Inspec database using applicable keywords; the bibliography of four key articles and citations were also retrieved from Inspec. All the classification codes from the citations were compiled. The visualization software Sci2 was used to create subject clusters, and the classification codes related to each cluster were extracted. Result. Six main subject areas were found to represent the main components of interplanetary travel. These are described, together with a list of basic resources. Major publications such as books, journals and conference proceedings obtained from the searches are listed. Contribution. This survey is targeted at librarians, teachers, and others with limited scientific background to provide them with an overview of the scientific and technical aspects of interplanetary travel. This information can be used to prepare information literacy sessions on a topic that can bring active participation and interest in a class. It can help students with non-scientific backgrounds venture into this exciting area. Finally, this can be viewed as a contribution to science literacy.

“…Many issues do exist that conflict with its creation in the physical world. One such problem is the fact that exotic matter is required (6). There needs to be some amount of negative energy in order to bend space-time in such a way, yet no such matter has yet been discovered.…”

Within this study a particle with the parameters of the WIMP model of dark matter is analyzed in its interaction with a hypothetical Alcubierre drive. The Alcubierre drive has the seeming ability to violate the "speed limit" of light by utilizing a manipulation of Einstein's equation to expand and contract space on either side of a given bubble to move it to different locations at arbitrary rates. The interaction of the drive with particles in space has been studied within literature, however, in this study the effects that the WIMP specifically has on the drives is determined in both its energy generation and gravitational accumulation. It is then compared to the effects of "light matter" particles. The data received from this topic is utilized to inspire a new model of WIMP average relative velocities. This model was devised by contrasting the velocities of particles interacting with the back to the front of a body in motion. The model displays a partially applicable function that is able to display a definable trend in the rate of average particle relative velocity growth as it relates to an increase in velocity of the body. Due to the fact the mass of the WIMP is constant, the energy of the particle is solely reliant upon its velocity, so a detection method is devised to determine the speed of dark matter and further prove the WIMP's existence. This method is discussed.
