Warp drives aren’t going to happen, IMHO. I gave reasons why elsewhere on this thread. Wormholes might be more/less likely in a Quantum Theory of Gravity, but I would guess most astrophysicists/cosmologists expect the likelihood to be the same either way.

Does this mean at least for the next 200-500 years or so — it will take 10-100 years to reach the nearest stars.

Much of star treck is set out about between 2250—2300. Do you think that bradbery was wildly optimistic about about how long in the future it will be before intergalactic travel is possible at speeds that are faster than inter generational
