A Star Trek-style detector that hunts for ripples in space-time could spot spaceships darting through the Milky Way using 'warp drive,' according to new research.Researchers at several US institutions propose using the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO), which is designed to look for gravitational waves caused by some of the universe's most violent and energetic processes.The team believes LIGO is powerful enough to detect 'warp drives,' theoretical engines that fueled the USS Enterprise's interstellar missions in the cult TV series Star Trek.
