A day will come when some whiz kid cracks the code that enables faster than light travel, and relegates Einstein to the dark ages of physics.
May not happen in our lifetimes, but it’s coming.

Physics wishing. Imagine a new color while you’re at it.

The solution is warping space time where a line becomes a point. All that needs doing is the implementation.

I tend to disagree with that, in the sense that there was no dark age of physics. No one has successfully broken any law of physics--there have only been modifications to it, such as Einstein's modifications to Newton's laws of gravity. I personally don't think the speed of light can ever be exceeded, no more than you can travel backwards in time. Both concepts produce paradoxes which cannot be resolved.

A day will come when some whiz kid cracks the code that enables faster than light travel, and relegates Einstein to the dark ages of physics. Miguel Alcubierrie has already worked out the math, and others have expanded on his work.
