What will come first? Warp Drives or my flying car?

Hopefully Warp Drives. I cannot imagine everyday people flying around in their cars. It would be a disaster every 5 minutes..............

I disagree. The SPICE gives guild navigators enough prescience to extrapolate safe trajectories through space without the need for computers. The Holtzman drive folds space. It does so utilizing quantum entanglement and the spice also gave the navigators the ability to fold time and space.

"What will come first? Warp Drives or my flying car?"

As a retired physicist, I'd bet on pigs...

Space is shorthand for “There is nothing there” So, how does one compress that?

Zefram Cochrane, then the warp drive.

For the flying car you have to talk to Dr. Emmit Brown or George Jetson.

Would God have created an entire universe but made it impossible for us to travel to?

I feel there has to be some method of FTL travel that is possible. Otherwise why would everything out there exist?

Put the government in charge of it.

There will be a shortage of space in a jiffy.................

OK! Theta Reticuli, HI! And Proxima Centauri, we’re on the way!

You may have perhaps missed God’s true true intent. Suppose he didn’t want us to interact with other worlds? I have no idea. But then who does know the mind of God.

It’s been 50 years or so since I stumbled through introductory physics, but wouldn’t it take an infinite amount of energy to accelerate any mass to the speed of light?

Just exploring and settling our solar system will take mankind 500 or thousands of years and we have the technology to do so now.

We need to build the infrastructure and get started now.

I’m sure that during this process we will gain knowledge that will allow for interstellar travel.
