Faster-than-light travel? Having just seen a science documentary in which a couple of heavy-duty physicists explain how it may be possible, circumventing rather than contradicting Einstein. Rapidly rotating mass warping space in its vicinity and producing gravity waves that could envelope a star ship and whup it along rather briskly, even FTL (Star Trek anyone?). The way it was explained, the physics is there, but the engineering problems are a bitch! Remains to be seen.

Multiple universes. Just reading a book by theoretical physicist Michio Kaku in which he says that it's very likely. Parallel Worlds : A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos. Mind boggling. A function of string theory. Multiple universes, parallel universes, multiple (up to eleven) dimensions. Very likely.

Gotta think some more about a lot of the others. Keep an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out.
