And just think how globalized everything will be once we can transport ala Star Trek ๐Ÿ˜

Iโ€™m a big believer in sci-fi tech but 2 that I think are pretty unlikely any time soon are teleportation (certainly at a human scale) and faster than light travel.

Which are probably the 2 most important for Star Trek!

Still: we did get the iPad from there, which is cool.

Oh no we need warp speedโ€ฆI agreeโ€ฆone day maybe but so far in the future we canโ€™t imagine itโ€ฆ..maybe if someone can discover โ€œspiceโ€

It's one of these "we would need to discover new physics for this to work" things.

Physicists I talk to (my dad was a physicist) are extremely skeptical of it.

Although if we discover indefinite life extension technology (which I would say is way more likely, and in fact could easily happen in the next 100 years) staying alive for however many years to travel to a new star in a spaceship going slower than light speed wouldn't be such a big cost! ๐Ÿ˜‚

I can do that as long as I do t turn into a crone along the way.
