Description:

In this episode of "AI Freaky Facts," host Steve explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping our understanding of space-time and propulsion. From warp bubbles to quantum simulations, AI is accelerating the science behind faster-than-light travel - and raising big questions about ethics, exploration, and the future of reality.

Topics Covered:

AI Freaky Facts, Steve Atwal, artificial intelligence, warp speed, warp drive, space-time, exotic matter, Einstein equations, quantum computing, molecular simulation, AI materials, NASA, ESA, dark matter, gravitational waves, interstellar travel, simulation physics, space ethics
