    Why is that picture in the first post? lol

    And meh, it'd be very hard to achieve any kind of space travel outside our solar system. I'd assume/expect we won't be able to do so until a good 10 or so years of technological advancement set in.

    But otherwise, I do think it's very, very possible for us to do it. Perhaps not in our young lifetime, though.

    Well wormholes is also a very, very hard-to-accomplish plan. If I'm not mistaken, don't wormholes break down matter and reform it at another point?

    (I think that is a black hole, correct me if that's so. xD)

    yes thats right DW. Except a worm hole is more of a rip in the space-time continium. I am not sure if it takes molecules apart then puts them together again.

    If we WANTED to, Science can do anything, we COULD fix whats wrong. the problem is, most scientists are in it for money, and theres no money in a fix, so they dont do it. They get more money studying and "slowing the progress" of the problem. We need a good group of scientists, with a sound financial backing, and I can almost guarantee you, this world would be restored.

    Ah. Well the concept remains. Thank God. xD

    Science can't fix. Humans can. lol

    I believe it could happen but not for some time down the road. We have some definite candidates for potential methods, which were already listed but I suppose I'll add my two cents in too.

    I think in time as we become more acquainted with quantam physics, it may be possible with such theories as entanglement that are connected with it and it also would work for 'transporting' or 'teleporting' people. Entanglement interests me a lot and is quite fascinating.

    Antimatter is so unstable but it is a very potent power source if it could be harnessed. Perhaps that might be something, but either way it seems that we won't want to really exceed the speed of light, at least until we are cool enough to figure out what happens if something does.

    Wormholes, though really there's nothing so far proving they actually exist but through mathematics and one type of wormhole experiment that proved that type of wormhole was highly unstable, do seem to be a possible other way to work such travel out but in the end, I would not know how one point could be gotten to that had not at least been ventured to before and some kind of way would be made for one point to connect to another, unless it is 'natural'. I'm none to sure I'd want to trust something natural of a wormhole since well, no one would know where it went, first off, and second off, scientifically wormholes are still a great mystery. The method though of using wormholes doesn't escape me though as being a possibility as well though ultimately.

    So, yeah, I do believe it's possible even if right at this time we have no real means of doing so and I don't see it as happening any time soon in the next few years. It would be very fascinating though to see it happen in our life times but I can't even say I am sure it would happen before that.

    A wormhole takes by taking two points in time and space and pinching them together making travel between the two points instantaneous, even if they are light years and/or eons apart. You aren't broken apart in a wormhole. In a black hole, the massive tidal forces of the gravity at the singularity spaghettifies you (surprisingly that is a scientific term =_=) and rips your atoms apart and adds them to the overall mass of the black hole making it bigger and its gravity stronger.

    The human body can't servive in space without a magnetic field to protect us from space radiation. Nor can we reproduce in it. So unless we can travel to sutible planets or whatever faster then the speed of light, we really have no chance what so ever.
