A warp bubble
A warp bubble is a subspace phenomenon based on the principle of a warp field. Some individuals, such as those native to planet Tau Alpha C, are capable of manipulating warp bubbles with their minds. It is possible for an individual to become trapped within such a bubble, and the person's thoughts at the time would shape the creation of an entirely new universe. This new universe cannot be accessed easily, though the individual could leave with assistance from an exterior source. Escape from the bubble would depend on creating a stable threshold between the warp bubble and the normal universe, which would be experienced as a dynamic atmospheric disturbance of great intensity.
In 2367, Ensign Wesley Crusher aboard the USS Enterprise-D began experimenting with new warp field principles designed by Kosinski. He accidentally caused the warp bubble to expand beyond the ship's warp core and envelop his mother, Doctor Beverly Crusher, within. Dr. Crusher's thoughts at the time created an alternate universe where everything and everyone began to disappear rapidly, with the warp bubble shrinking in size accordingly. Fortunately, she was able to deduce what was happening and with the help of the Traveler, Wesley was able to create a means for Beverly to return to the proper universe before the warp bubble collapsed.
