Question: Do you think that warp speed will ever be acheivable? Like in Star Trek

Hmmmm….knowing what we know now, not any time soon! Who knows though, it’s likely there is a lot about the universe we don’t know right now. The amazing thing about science-fiction, however, is that it is firmly grounded in real science! There are a lot of other ideas in Star Trek that are most definately achievable though – like cloaking shields, and particle transporters…lots of research is going on right now to develop invisibility cloaks, and in the very near future they may become commercially available. Also, scientists have recently transported an atom from one place to another instantaneously – there is a lot about quantum physics that we don’t know, but it is going to change our lives hugely in the near future!! Looking forward to it!
