1.) In one experiment, led by Anedio Ranfagni, of the Italian National Research Council, microwaves were sent through a narrow, ring-shaped opening onto a large mirror, sent the waves back to and behind the source.

The arrival times of these pulses showed that they travelled at speeds 5% above c.

2.) Indeed, Wang and co-workers measured a group velocity of -c/310. In other words, a pulse travelling a distance, L, is advanced by 310L/c.

Long before the incident light pulse reaches the cell, two peaks appear at the far end: one travelling away from the cell at c, the other travelling back towards the entrance.

This second pulse travels 300 times more slowly and is timed to meet up with the incident peak.

The transmitted pulse travelling at c appears to leave the cell some 60 ns before the incident pulse arrives, enough time for it to travel an additional 20 metres.

3.) The Nimtz Experiment is based on one of those bizarre tunneling effects by which quantum physics keeps confounding our every day experiences. If you kick a soccer ball against a wall it bounces back.

But a wave packet can reappear behind the wall.
It will be weaker but faster than before.
This can't be explained but it is a measurable effect. Information can also be
transmitted like this.

Prof. Dr. Nimtz explains it thus: &quotWe have sent such a signaling impulse through a test range and measured: What is its speed in comparison to the speed through the air? The speed we measured is 2.46 times the speed of light."

The type of signals are the same as in use in mobile communications devices or which are used for data transfer between computers.

It also works for the transmission of more complex information like a whole symphony.

While the peak moves faster than light speed, the total energy of the pulse does not.
This means Einstein's relativity is preserved.

4.) Signals also get weaker and more distorted the faster they go, so in theory no useful information can get transmitted at faster-than-light speeds, though Robertson hopes his students and others can now rigorously and cheaply test those ideas.

Physicist Alain Hache at the University of Moncton in Canada adds that it may be possible to use this reflection technique to boost electrical signal speeds in computers and telecommunications grids by more than 50 per cent.

Electrical signals usually travel at about two-thirds of light speed in wires. Hache says it may be possible to send unsable electrical signals to near light speed.

5.) Experimentele lui Aspectis au demonstrat interactia instantanee între particule aflate la 12 metri departare: o comunicare în timp în mai putin de o bilionime de secunda sau de 20 de ori mai rapid decât, presupusa de nepasit, viteza a luminii.

6.) Wang and colleagues begin by using a third continuous-wave laser to confirm that there are two peaks in the gain spectrum and that the refractive index does indeed change rapidly with wavelength in between.

Next they send a 3.7-microsecond long laser pulse into the caesium cell, which is 6 centimetres long, and show that, at the correct wavelength, it emerges from the cell 62 nanoseconds sooner than would be expected if it had travelled at the speed of light. 62 nanoseconds might not sound like much, but since it should only take 0.2 nanoseconds for the pulse to pass through the cell, this means that the pulse has been travelling at 310 times the speed of light. Moreover, unlike previous superluminal experiments, the input and output pulse shapes are essentially the same.

7.) Acesta a fost urmat în 1997 de Nicolas Gisin, care a lucrat cu distante de 10 km si a aratat în acest mod ca viteza fenomenelor observate a fost de 10.000 de ori mai mare decât viteza luminii.

8.) In 2002, physicists Alain Haché and Louis Poirier made history by sending pulses at a group velocity of three times light speed (3xc) over a long distance for the first time, transmitted through a 120 -metre cable made from a coaxial photonic crystal.

The most prominent example of "information" being a Mozart symphony, having been transmitted with 4.7 times the speed of light.

9.) As far as the more recent experiments of Nimtz are concerned, especially the popular tunneling of parts of Mozart's 40th symphony with 4.7fold light speed.

8.) Cherenkov effect in a swimming pool nuclear reactor. The apparent blue colour of the water is due to electrons travelling faster than the speed of light in water.

Entangled clouds raise hope of teleportation

Clouds of trillions of atoms have for the first time been linked by quantum "entanglement" - that spooky, almost telepathic link between distant particles.
The feat opens new possibilities for quantum communication systems and sci-fi-style teleporting of objects from one place to another.

The everyday view of atoms is of solid, independent objects a bit like billiard balls. But according to quantum theory, atoms are far less concrete entities.

Atoms can be persuaded to interact with each other so that events affecting one instantly affect another - no matter how far apart they are.

Dubbed entanglement, this could open the way to superfast quantum communications systems and ways of teleporting objects by instantly transferring their properties from place to place.

Before now scientists only managed to entangle a few atoms close together, raising a question mark over the practicality of quantum technology.

But now a team at the University of Aarhus in Denmark has entangled two clouds of trillions of caesium atoms.

The method should work for very distant clouds.

The team co-ordinated the quantum states of two atom clouds by exploiting a loophole in Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

The principle forbids precise knowledge of the quantum state of each gas cloud.

But when two clouds are in an entangled state, you can work out the overall properties of the two collections, for example, the so-called total spin state.

Changes in one cloud are mirrored by changes in the other that keep the overall property of both clouds constant.

To preserve the frail entanglement, the team shielded the atom clouds from outside disturbances.

They did this using special magnetic fields to trap the atoms inside two vessels lined with paraffin wax.

By shining laser light through the vessels, the team entangled the spin states of the two atom clouds then watched how long the state lasted.

Full entanglement would have lasted only a million-billionth of a second, but the team kept up partial entanglement for half a millisecond - aeons by quantum standards.

"The experiment shows that it is possible to create entanglement with macroscopic objects, and to do it using just laser light - which means one can do it even when the objects are separated by substantial distances," says the team leader, Eugene Polzik.

"We've also shown that the state can persist for a long time, even at room temperature."

"Now that the experiment has been done, it should be relatively simple to entangle more than two atomic samples, or to teleport states of atomic samples," says Ignacio Cirac, a physicist at the University of Innsbruck in Austria.

“A hyperdrive Tesla craft would put the stars within reach for the first time”

From this, Dröscher claims, you can derive the four forces known in physics: the gravitational and electromagnetic forces, and the strong and weak nuclear forces.

But there's more to it than that.

"If Heim's picture is to make sense," Dröscher says, "we are forced to postulate two more fundamental forces."

These are, Dröscher claims, related to the familiar gravitational force: one is a repulsive anti-gravity similar to the dark energy that appears to be causing the universe's expansion to accelerate.

And the other might be used to accelerate a spacecraft without any rocket fuel.

This force is a result of the interaction of Heim's fifth and sixth dimensions and the extra dimensions that Dröscher introduced.

It produces pairs of "gravitophotons", particles that mediate the interconversion of electromagnetic and gravitational energy.

Dröscher teamed up with Jochem Häuser, a physicist and professor of computer science at the University of Applied Sciences in Salzgitter, Germany, to turn the theoretical framework into a proposal for an experimental test.

The paper they produced, "Guidelines for a space propulsion device based on Heim's quantum theory", is what won the AIAA's award last year.

Claims of the possibility of "gravity reduction" or "anti-gravity" induced by magnetic fields have been investigated by NASA before (New Scientist, 12 January 2002, p 24).

But this one, Dröscher insists, is different.

"Our theory is not about anti-gravity. It's about completely new fields with new properties," he says.

And he and Häuser have suggested an experiment to prove it.

This will require a huge rotating ring placed above a superconducting coil to create an intense magnetic field.

With a large enough current in the coil, and a large enough magnetic field, Dröscher claims the electromagnetic force can reduce the gravitational pull on the ring to the point where it floats free.

Dröscher and Häuser say that to completely counter Earth's pull on a 150-tonne spacecraft a magnetic field of around 25 tesla would be needed.

While that's 500,000 times the strength of Earth's magnetic field, pulsed magnets briefly reach field strengths up to 80 tesla.

And Dröscher and Häuser go further.

With a faster-spinning ring and an even stronger magnetic field, gravitophotons would interact with conventional gravity to produce a repulsive anti-gravity force, they suggest.

“A spinning ring and a strong magnetic field could produce a repulsive anti-gravity force”

Dröscher is hazy about the details, but he suggests that a spacecraft fitted with a coil and ring could be propelled into a multidimensional hyperspace.

Here the constants of nature could be different, and even the speed of light could be several times faster than we experience.

If this happens, it would be possible to reach Mars in less than 3 hours and a star 11 light years away in only 80 days, Dröscher and Häuser say.

So is this all fanciful nonsense, or a revolution in the making?

The majority of physicists have never heard of Heim theory, and most of those contacted by New Scientist said they couldn't make sense of Dröscher and Häuser's description of the theory behind their proposed experiment.

Following Heim theory is hard work even without Dröscher's extension, says Markus Pössel, a theoretical physicist at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Potsdam, Germany.

Several years ago, while an undergraduate at the University of Hamburg, he took a careful look at Heim theory.

He says he finds it "largely incomprehensible", and difficult to tie in with today's physics. "What is needed is a step-by-step introduction, beginning at modern physical concepts," he says.

The general consensus seems to be that Dröscher and Häuser's theory is incomplete at best, and certainly extremely difficult to follow.

And it has not passed any normal form of peer review, a fact that surprised the AIAA prize reviewers when they made their decision.
"It seemed to be quite developed and ready for such publication," Mikellides told New Scientist.

At the moment, the main reason for taking the proposal seriously must be Heim theory's uncannily successful prediction of particle masses.

Maybe, just maybe, Heim theory really does have something to contribute to modern physics.

"As far as I understand it, Heim theory is ingenious," says Hans Theodor Auerbach, a theoretical physicist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich who worked with Heim.

"I think that physics will take this direction in the future."

It may be a long while before we find out if he's right.

In its present design, Dröscher and Häuser's experiment requires a magnetic coil several metres in diameter capable of sustaining an enormous current density.

Most engineers say that this is not feasible with existing materials and technology, but Roger Lenard, a space propulsion researcher at Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico thinks it might just be possible.

Sandia runs an X-ray generator known as the Z machine which "could probably generate the necessary field intensities and gradients".

For now, though, Lenard considers the theory too shaky to justify the use of the Z machine.

"I would be very interested in getting Sandia interested if we could get a more perspicacious introduction to the mathematics behind the proposed experiment," he says.

"Even if the results are negative, that, in my mind, is a successful experiment."

From issue 2533 of New Scientist magazine, 05 January 2006, page 24
Who was Burkhard Heim?

In Heim's view of space and time, this limitation disappears.

He claimed it is possible to convert electromagnetic energy into gravitational and back again, and speculated that a rotating magnetic field could reduce the influence of gravity on a spacecraft enough for it to take off.

Faster Than Light? Hope.

"Faster-than-light" observations and experiments

Robert Boyd, professor of optics (PHOTO CREDIT: University of Rochester)

"It's weird stuff," says Boyd. "We sent a pulse through an optical fiber, and before its peak even entered the fiber, it was exiting the other end.

Through experiments we were able to see that the pulse inside the fiber was actually moving backward, linking the input and output pulses."

So, wouldn't Einstein shake a finger at all these strange goings-on?
After all, this seems to violate Einstein's sacred tenet that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.

Boyd, along with Rochester graduate students George M. Gehring and Aaron Schweinsberg, and undergraduates Christopher Barsi of Manhattan College and Natalie Kostinski of the University of Michigan, sent a burst of laser light through an optical fiber that had been laced with the element erbium.

As the pulse exited the laser, it was split into two. One pulse went into the erbium fiber and the second traveled along undisturbed as a reference.

The peak of the pulse emerged from the other end of the fiber before the peak entered the front of the fiber, and well ahead of the peak of the reference pulse.

A negative-speed pulse of light acts much the same way.
As the pulse enters the material, a second pulse appears on the far end of the fiber and flows backward.
The reversed pulse not only propagates backward, but it releases a forward pulse out the far end of the fiber.

In this way, the pulse that enters the front of the fiber appears out the end almost instantly, apparently traveling faster than the regular speed of light.

Towards a new test of general relativity?

23 March 2006
Scientists funded by the European Space Agency believe they may have measured the gravitational equivalent of a magnetic field for the first time in a laboratory. Under certain special conditions the effect is much larger than expected from general relativity and could help physicists to make a significant step towards the long-sought-after quantum theory of gravity.

Just as a moving electrical charge creates a magnetic field, so a moving mass generates a gravitomagnetic field. According to Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, the effect is virtually negligible. However, Martin Tajmar, ARC Seibersdorf Research GmbH, Austria, and colleagues believe they have measured the effect in a laboratory.
Their experiment involves a ring of superconducting material rotating up to 6 500 times a minute. Superconductors are special materials that lose all electrical resistance at a certain temperature. Spinning superconductors produce a weak magnetic field, the so-called London moment. The new experiment tests a conjecture that explains the difference between high-precision mass measurements of Cooper-pairs (the current carriers in superconductors) and their prediction via quantum theory. They have discovered that this anomaly could be explained by the appearance of a gravitomagnetic field in the spinning superconductor (This effect has been named the Gravitomagnetic London Moment by analogy with its magnetic counterpart).

Small acceleration sensors placed at different locations close to the spinning superconductor, which has to be accelerated for the effect to be noticeable, recorded an acceleration field outside the superconductor that appears to be produced by gravitomagnetism. "This experiment is the gravitational analogue of Faraday's electromagnetic induction experiment in 1831.
It demonstrates that a superconductive gyroscope is capable of generating a powerful gravitomagnetic field, and is therefore the gravitational counterpart of the magnetic coil.
Depending on further confirmation, this effect could form the basis for a new technological domain, which would have numerous applications in space and other high-tech sectors" says ESA study manager Clovis de Matos. Although just 100 millionths of the acceleration due to the Earth’s gravitational field, the measured field is a surprising one hundred million trillion times larger than Einstein’s General Relativity predicts. Initially, the researchers were reluctant to believe their own results.
Gravitomagnetic induction of gravitational fields

"We ran more than 250 experiments, improved the facility over 3 years and discussed the validity of the results for 8 months before making this announcement. Now we are confident about the measurement," says Tajmar, who performed the experiments and hopes that other physicists will conduct their own versions of the experiment in order to verify the findings and rule out a facility induced effect.
In parallel to the experimental evaluation of their conjecture, Tajmar and team also looked for a more refined theoretical model of the Gravitomagnetic London Moment. They took their inspiration from superconductivity. The electromagnetic properties of superconductors are explained in quantum theory by assuming that force-carrying particles, known as photons, gain mass. By allowing force-carrying gravitational particles, known as the gravitons, to become heavier, they found that the unexpectedly large gravitomagnetic force could be modelled.

"If confirmed, this would be a major breakthrough," says Tajmar, "it opens up a new means of investigating general relativity and it consequences in the quantum world."
The results, obtained in the framework of an ESA contract, were presented at a one-day conference at ESA's European Space and Technology Research Centre (ESTEC), in the Netherlands, 21 March 2006. Two papers detailing the work are now being considered for publication. The papers can be accessed on-line at the Los Alamos pre-print server using the references: gr-qc/0603033 and gr-qc/0603032.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Günter Nimtz of the Physics Institute at the University of Cologne (Universität zu Köln) in Germany has been conducting experiments that purport to show that under certain conditions, particles may travel faster than the speed of light ©. In 1995, for example, his research team reported that they had encoded Mozart's 40th symphony in a microwave beam traveling at 4.7 times c to a receiver. Nimtz and colleagues call the means by which this occurs the 'superluminal tunnelling process'[1]. Experiments dating back to the early 1990s by Nimtz, Steinberg, Chiao, and others have shown superluminal tunneling of optical photons through mirrors and of microwaves through so-called forbidden zones of waveguides.

HISTORY of the STAR TREK space colonization and warp drive propulsion birth

2001
Recognizing that the best way to motivate people to pull together was to turn their focus outward, the Terran Empire decrees that the Imperial Space Initiative be passed. Exploitation of the solar system begins to help rebuild human civilization.
2008
Imperial Intelligence discover a secret bunker containing rocket designs that were being researched by the former NASA. The new design, the Orion Pulse Engine, revolutionizes space travel.
2012
A Wanderer Class unmanned probe, using the Orion design, circumnavigates the solar system in four months.
2018
A series of Wanderer II Class Interstellar probes are launched in disparate directions.
They feature an upgraded Orion Pulse Engine.

2031
The first reconnaissance data returns from one of the Wanderer II probes sent to Alpha Centauri. The data shows evidence of an advanced civilization developing there. Plans begin to send a fleet to investigate.
2059
Imperial Scientist Zephrame Cochrane goes into hiding with his assistant, Lilly Sloane. It is believed that they have developed a propulsion unit that can surpass the speed of light.

2063
Imperial Intelligence is contacted by an individual identifying himself as Commander William Riker. He assists Imperial Intelligence in locating Cochrane and Sloane. As an act of gratitude, the Emperor allows Riker and his team to take over production and launch of the Pheonix, a prototype "warp" rocket.
During the test launch, contact is made with an advanced space-faring race, the Vulcans. Despite the advantage to the Vulcans, an Imperial Marine Commando team successfully captures the Vulcan reconnaissance team and their scout vessel. Ship's records showed that they were on a deep space patrol and not expected to return for a year. They altered course to investigate warp emanations from our solar system and determine the threat value of our race. Imperial Engineers begin immediate development of a new warp vessel incorporating modifications based on the Vulcan design.
2064
The first six vessels of the Conqueror Class, a warp drive starship, completes production. They are armed with high-powered monochromatic, high-intensity lasers powered by the ships fusion sublight impulse engine.
2065
A fleet of twelve Conqueror Class vessels, led by Prince William, Emperor Edward's younger brother, launches for Alpha Centauri. The journey takes two months. The Centauran government resists their overtures for Alliance, and the fleet begins a siege that lasts only three weeks before the Centauran Government concedes defeat.
2066
A Vulcan cruiser enters Earth's orbit, demanding to know why the Terran Empire is holding Vulcan citizen's prisoner. Several conqueror Class vessels take up position around the warship. Tensions mount and the Vulcan cruiser is fired upon when it tries to escape. Disabled, the ship is boarded, crew captured. Flight data decrypted shows the coordinates for the Vulcan Homeworld.

2068
A fleet of twelve Stellar Class Warships are sent to Vulcan, commanded by Fleet Admiral William Wolffe. The Stellar Class features launch tubes that fire thermo-nuclear hydrofusion torpedoes.
2070
The Imperial Fleet arrives at Vulcan, much to the Vulcan's surprise. Vulcan warships gather to expel the threat, but cooler heads start to see the power that can be wrought with an alliance. Commodore Riker, Commanding the Dark Knights Wing, negotiates the Alliance Accords.
While on an exploratory mission, the ITSS Bonaparte discovers Axanar and it's intelligent, but non-space faring, humanoid race. Led by LT Colin Fortine, the Axanarians are quickly subjugated and become part of the Terran Empire.
2071
Rear Admiral Riker disappears while on a tour of a newly discovered area of space. All searches in the area are fruitless, with no signs of other vessels in the area.
2072
Earth's first Atlas Class multi-functional, space rated construction dock becomes operational, serving as a sublight maneuverable repair facility for starships.
2073
First contact with the Tellarites. Under the command of Rear Admiral Patrick Byrne, a fleet of Imperial Defense Force vessels encounter a Tellarite vessel while on patrol in the Sol System. After a brief and incisive attack, the Tellarite vessel is disabled. The Tellarite commander is interrogated and quickly divulges the Tellarite Homeworld coordinates.
2074
The combined fleet of Terran Empire and Vulcan Protectorate warships, under the command of Admiral Sean Collins, enters the Tellar home system. After a two week siege, the Tellarites surrender and all of the Tellarite controlled space is annexed by the Terran Empire.
2076
First contact with the Andoran Star Empire. An Andoran warship fires on an Imperial Scout. The Terran Empire declares war and masses a fleet. Each battle comes to a draw, neither side a clear victor. The Vulcans mediate negotiations between the two foes and logic wins out showing each the advantage of becoming allies.
2082
A series of meetings take place on Earth, attended by the diplomats from Earth, Vulcan, and Andor. Talks of a formal unified alliance fails to gain popularity due to disagreements as to how the new alliance would be governed, and by whom.
2084
Emperor Edward Wolffe dies of natural causes. Fleet Admiral Sean Collins, Commander-in-Chief of the Terran Imperial Fleet, is named Emperor.
2085
During a war games exercise involving Terran, Vulcan, and Andoran warships, an Andoran warship is crippled when two Terran warships collide with it. The incident calls for an immediate and in-depth review. It is found that there needs to be a more centralized command and training structure between the three governments.
2087
The Terran Emperor, the Vulcan Praetor, and the Andoran Prefect gather with the high ranking members of their governments and military to sign the accords forming the Imperial Federation. Each government's ruler will equally rule on a council of nine regents, three from each government. Every three years, the mantel of Prime Regent will be held by one of the three rulers.
In addition, a unified military command is created. Imperial Starfleet Command will consist of officers and warships from all three governments. Each will maintain defense fleets within their home territories, but Imperial Starfleet warships and their commanders will have overriding authority.
To ensure a high standard of training and competence, the Grand Imperial Fleet Academy is organized and built on Earth to train all Imperial Starfleet Officers.
Through a great amount of debate and political maneuvering, the Terran's own Emperor Sean Collins accepts the mantel as the first Prime Regent of the Imperial Federation.
2089
During a tour of the Imperial Federation, the ISS Alliance is attacked by vessels of unknown configuration. The High Prefect of Andor and the Praetor of Vulcan are killed in the attack. Emperor Collins declares martial law until the attackers can be brought to justice.
Protests are raised by the Vulcan and Andoran regents, but are quickly quieted when squadrons of Zeus Class Dreadnaughts take up orbit around Vulcan, Andor, and other key colonies and installations. The Zeus Class are the newest warship design out of a secret Jovian construction dock. Some 60 had been built from 2083 and 2088. They feature a three nacelle design, new high intensity phased laser turrets, and new bio-thermic torpedoes. Elite Terran Imperial Fleet Officers staffs all of the warships.
There are a number of minor rebellions which are quashed by either the dreadnaughts or the crack shock troops carried aboard.
Meanwhile, a search begins for the vessels that attacked the ISS Alliance.
2090 - 2092
Emperor Collins reveals to the Imperial Federation that Imperial Intelligence has discovered that the Council of Regents had conspired with a previously unknown race called the Orions to assassinate the Prime Regent and other High Regents.
With this, he disbands the Council of Regents and declares himself the sole sovereign and Emperor of the Imperial Federation. He creates the Grand Imperial Council and appoints a number of Vulcan and Andoran nobles to serve on the Cabinet of Ministers. He then commissions duchies, earldoms, and baronies throughout the Imperial Federation, appointing loyal Terran, Vulcan, and Andoran nobles to these stations.
It is soon evident that this new form of governing is better and further strengthens the Imperial Federation. Though there are rumblings by the Andorians of their loss of power, smarter players begin to work within the new structure to build powerful imperial houses to get the upper hand on their competitors.

United Federation of Planets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Federation is described as having come into military conflict at various times by the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Star Empire, the Tholian Assembly, the Cardassian Union, the Tzenkethi, the Borg Collective, the Dominion, the Breen Confederacy, and the Sphere Builders.
Hostility has also existed with the Ferengi Alliance, the Sheliak Corporate, and the Talarian Republic, but it is unrevealed if any actual state of war with these species occurred, particularly the latter two.

Alpha Centauri being a founding world of the Federation and even having a humanlike native race called Centaurans became a popular fan theory.
Later, in Star Trek: Enterprise when we actually see the founding of the Federation in the episode "These Are the Voyages..." and the negotiations that lead to it in "Demons" and "Terra Prime", Alpha Centauri is not mentioned as part of the founding, which is explicitly said to be between Earth, Vulcan, Andoria and Tellar.
Alpha Centauri is only ever mentioned in passing as an Earth colony on screen.
Federation history - 21 century

After Earth fought the disastrous World War III, scientist Zefram Cochrane, built the first warp-capable vessel, the Phoenix.
He launched it in the year 2063.
The warp-testing of this vessel would garner the attention of a Vulcan science ship operating just outside of the Sol System.
Vulcans had not previously considered the Sol System or Earth worthy of their attention before this time.
However, the vulkanian science ship, lands on Earth, and makes first-contact with Zefram Cochrane and the inhabitants of Bozeman, Montana, United States.
This contact would be the first time that Earth joins the interstellar community, and begins the road toward the foundation of the United Federation of Planets.

22 - 23 centuries
In the year 2119, an aging Zefram Cochrane opens the Warp 5 Complex on Earth, in the hope of building a vessel that would be the fastest human starship at the time.
Eventually this project would yield the NX-01 Enterprise, Earth's first deep-space exploration vessel.
Although no single individual is responsible for the foundation of the United Federation of Planets, the exploratory vessel Enterprise NX-01 was a major catalyst.
Under the command of Captain Jonathan Archer, it helped forge an alliance between the formerly belligerent Vulcan, Andorian, and Tellarite states, and forged a spirit of unity and cooperation in the Alpha Quadrant, culminating in a formal union in 2161.
The Federation was formed largely out of the ashes of the Earth-Romulan War of the late 2150 ending in 2160, when the founding members saw the need for interstellar unity to prevent the horror of further war.
Around 2223, tensions thickened between the UFP and the Klingon Empire.

Early 24 century
In 2311, the Tomed Incident occurred in which thousands of Federation civilians and Starfleet personnel died and Romulan outposts disappeared.
The unrest was ended by the Treaty of Algeron which re-affirmed the Neutral Zone and prohibited Federation development of cloaking technology.
In 2344, the Romulan Star Empire launched an assault on the Klingon outpost at Narendra III, but unexpectedly the USS Enterprise-C, under the command of Captain Rachel Garrett, came to the Klingons' defense.
Exploration and expansion in the 2340 and 2350 brought the Federation into conflict with several minor and major powers including the Talarians, the Sheliak and eventually the Cardassians.

Cardassian War
Federation contact with a race called the Cardassians resulted in an extended conflict.
One incident in this conflict was the massacre of Federation civilians on Setlik III in 2347.
A truce was reached and a Demilitarized Zone was formed in 2370.
A number of Federation and Cardassian colonies found themselves situated within the other’s territory; an agreement was reached for the transfer of those colonies. However, some Federation colonists were opposed to the agreement and formed the Maquis, a rebel movement who resisted the Cardassians.

Mid 24 century
In 2365, the Federation had first formal contact with the Borg Collective, who threatened the existence of the Federation at the Battle of Wolf 359.
Other events of this era include the Klingon Civil War, first contact with the Q, and various time travel incidents.
From 2363 to 2370 the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) served as the Federation's flagship.
From 2373 to 2375, the Federation fought the Dominion War.
This was by far the largest conflict the Federation had ever been involved in, allying with the Klingons and Romulans against the combined forces of the Dominion, the Cardassians, and Breen.
The Federation /Klingon /Romulan alliance was victorious, but with substantial casualties on both sides.

History
In Y190 the Andromedan invasion began as the Andromedans, who had until then been minor nuisances, launched their full-scale invasion of the Milky Way Galaxy.
The Federation, as the leader of the Alliance, negotiated a treaty of cooperation with the Klingon Empire which became the groundwork of Operation Unity, a multinational assault on the Andromedan base in the Small Magellanic Cloud.
