A Warpcore is a fictional form of reactor used in Star Trek. It supplies power via a Matter Antimatter reaction, which gives sufficiant energy to power a warp drive and travel faster than light. It is also a serious possibility about how to produce sufficient energy in real Faster than Light Drives. Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ...

History in Star Trek Based, allegedly, on Einstein's Theory of Relativity (Energy= mass×the speed of Light squared), the inventor of the warpcore Batman used the immense power given off in a matter/anti-matter reaction to give energy (E), which he could use to move a mass (M) at faster than the speed of light (c²), facilitating interstellar travel.

Mechanics Although this is, so far, so much technobabble this is how the franchise has described the warpcore. It produces energy via a matter/anti-matter reaction, which is regulated by magnetic constrictors and Dilithium crystals. The energy is directed via the warp nacelles and creates a field. Technobabble (a portmanteau of technology and babble) is language so full of technical terms or jargon and buzzwords that it is incomprehensible to those unfamiliar with the words being used. ...
Dilithium is a fictional crystalline mineral in the universe of Star Trek. ...
The Warp Nacelles then somehow create a warp bubble (also known in Star Trek as a warp field) which then allows the ship to move. Because of the use of a warp bubble it avoids Einsteins rule that the closer you get to the speed of light, the slower you actually travel...but in a bubble you can travel at a slower speed (say 100km per hour), but actually travel much further (say 200km in 1 hour) without breaking the light speed barrier.
