TIME TRAVELS AND SCIENCE FRICTION

<p>In the year 2109 humanity had reached the pinnacle of scientific achievement. Earth had become a utopia with an abundance of resources and technology that had eliminated poverty disease and even death. The only remaining challenge for humanity was to venture beyond the bounds of our solar system and explore the vast reaches of space.<br/>A team of scientists had been working for years on a revolutionary new technology that could allow faster-than-light travel. They called it the Alcubierre drive after the physicist who had proposed the theoretical framework for its operation. The drive relied on the manipulation of space-time itself bending the fabric of the universe to create a bubble around the ship that could travel faster than the speed of light without violating the laws of physics.<br/><br/></p><p></p>
