Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I'm interested in the physics
research project. How soon will we be able to build Star Wars/Trek
technologies?
A: Warp drives and transporters are not supported by current theory,
although many observations, such as quantum non-locality, dark
matter, and dark energy suggest that distance may not be as absolute
as we normally consider it.
Q: Doesn't relativity prohibit
travelling faster than light?
A: Yes it does. Therefore, getting from Point-A to Point-B faster
than the speed of light requires us to circumvent the intervening
distance. Theoretical and experimental work needs to be done.
