Warp travel will still be a one-way trip forward in time though.  The first travelers to alpha centauri will return to a world far different than the one they left.  I'm hoping for a Mad Max future, personally.  

Not exactly if you looked at NASA’s mock-up from years ago what happens is they bend time/reality folding the distance of two points closer together ship goes in at point A and comes out at point B if it works like they theorized it. The important part is they opened a warp bubble. So this is a huge step in progress to make what many thought impossible possible.

Also going to add who knows what might happen, could be that and that would suck, it could go like Star Trek or the worst case scenario Doom or Warhammer 40K lmao.”do you want to be a valiant hero who does not fear pain or death, then go on an adventure to the Dark World! Lol

Sounds like a lot of nonsense to me.

Well the proof of concept has been achieved on a small scale, so it's not nonsense, now if they could never create the proof of concept showing it's real and works because it was impossible then yes it would be nonsense same thing was said about the atomic bomb, flight, space flight, a computer in our hands, nano robots, breathable liquid, AI the list goes on.

I do believe this is why they are pushing to get to planets further away from earth, if you read about it the amount of energy used would tear a planet apart as they essentially bend space and time. So I imagine the goal is to get to the outer edge of our solar system to do it as to not well create our own impending doom catastrophic planet killing event.

To boldly go…..

and lived to tell about it.

Exciting times for the future

It just sucks those of us who are older, we may or may not get to live to see it. That is what I hate about the human condition, it's not the fear of death. It's the fear of not seeing where humanity will go and create when we really take to the stars, I would love to see it all.
