Since the new Star Trek film is running its successive marathon through the worlds cinemas, i think it would an appropriate subject to debate what technology might actually take us to the stars.
Personally i believe that Star Treks Warp Drive is the most likely thing to happen, since it seems most plausible and it doesn,´t violate any laws of physics.
Yes we need the power equal to that of the sun to be able to pull it off and of course Inertial dampers to prevent the crew from being paste on the walls, the minuet the Warp drive engine is activated.
But other than that contracting space in front of you and expanding it behind you and as such move faster than light, is completely plausible within the realm of physics.
Where as the laws of physics prevent a spaceship from flying faster the light, there is nothing that prevents you from moving faster then light.
And in a sense its really one of the only possibilities if the human race is to stay united once they move to other planets beyond our solar system.
The problem with Wormhole travels is that it would most likely generate a HUGE amount of radiation plus it would be quite difficult to establish a stable wormhole (i,´m not into the whole creating a wormhole all i really know is that it is incredibly difficult to do such a thing).
Suspended animation, yes it is a possibility, but you are still left with the time it takes to reach another star and an inhabitable planet and if things go wrong during your travel your pretty much screwed because you,´re "sleeping" and if there isn,´t anything to wake you up, you will continue to do so forever unless some outside force happens to pick you up and wake you.
But that,´s my answer what do you think??
