The Telegraph (U.K.) online reports the work of two scientists, appearing in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, which argues that a warp drive powered by so-called "dark energy" is possible. If only....
Such a drive would make faster-than-light travel possible and space travel practical. It would also make equally credible that ETs have visited here. Logically, if we can travel there, they can travel here. Maybe some UFOs are really alien spacecraft.
At this point we are talking "pie in the sky." I don't believe I'll see this developed in my lifetime, but I hope I'm wrong.
Somewhere the ghosts of Arthur C. Clarke and Robert Heinlein are having a good chuckle.
