I submit that this may be a current science, but likely not the last science word on that, for eternity that is, as you seem to be putting forward.

There is nothing wrong with having ideas about the possible future discoveries of 'Science' (just don't smear it into our current 'Reality') - people have done that for ages - it's now officially called 'Science Fiction' though... :-) Where we are, is where we are - for example 'Science' has not said that FTL travel 'is impossible' (although a few ignorant self important clowns in the past tried to say things like 'heavier than air flight is impossible' - even though birds did it ...), but merely that a few 'back of the envelope' calculations to move mass X at Y times the speed of light over Z lights years distance in a given perceived period of 'current physical Earth based Solar time' is ... mumble, mumble, .... Holy F*** Batman! That's a LOT of energy! We certainly can't handle that amount per second right now ... :-)

Hence all the cute gobbledegook terms invented for the SF genre - they almost always fall back on just 'reversing the polarity' to fix the current scenario problem though ... :-P (I'm not making that up, you know!)

Thank You Mr Spock!
