The hope is that a fundamental discovery will open the door to many other discoveries which could lead us to an understanding of ways to transfer energy between fields in new ways.p Making a Star Trek warp drive may be the only way for humanity to leave our galaxy.

True, but if we continue on our current trajectory (climate change, social inequality), we won’t make it to that future. While I understand, we have enough curious people to invest many long-term possibilities and theories, I do think we should focus more on current pressing concerns when we decide on such a costly project. I can’t help but think of the possibilities of building renewable energy, sanitization for the parts of the world that has been historically and systematically left behind.
