I thought warp drives were supposed to take ships etc at speeds greater than the speed of light? This alleged tech says speeds close to the speed of light. Isn't that impulse speed? Sounds like I'm nitpicking mindyou - thats still damn fast!

I hate articles that state something about warp and then mention some technologies which have nothing to do with warp and that will only get us part of the way...

Not nitpicking at all - this article has nothing to do with "warp drive" and is all to do with sub light travel to distant stars.

Anyone can make predictions about the future on the assumption that some miraculous technology will be available in the future.

"In 100 years we will be able to teleport anything up to the size of a 21st century aircraft carrier to any point in the universe instantly using an anti-media-attention-pipedream-teleporter making all other forms of travel obsolete.",

There you go - perhaps I should put that up on my website and get 100'000s hits to push up my marketing revenue? It certainly is working for Yeehaw!

"There will be a computer in every home in the next 20 years" - HeeHee HaHa...no hang on, that was a bad example.
