In science fiction it's one of the ways for starships to move faster than light. The thing works by not actually moving you, but rather by contracting/deleting space in front of you and expanding/creating space behind you, while you remain in a bubble of non-deformed space. This way it seems to not violate [Einstein]'s [special] relativity. First [time] the word was used in Star Trek back in the 1960's, and since then became [popular] as a go-to faster than light travel engine for sci-fi writers. In real life, the idea of an Alcubierre drive was proposed, which is essentially a warp drive and theoretically can break the light barrier, but it requires a lot of negative-mass exotic matter, the existence of which is doubted.
