Have you ever thought about how many things from sci-fi became real? For example, a communicator from the "Star Trek" series is very similar to a flip phone. Those phones entered the marketplace in nineteen eighty-nine. And the communicator appeared in the series twenty-three years earlier. The mechanism used in the "Star Trek" replicator is very similar to the modern three-D printer. However, it prints objects many times faster. What will the next thing be? An engine for interstellar travel? Exactly. A team of scientists led by Doctor Jim Woodward is attempting to build an impulse engine from the "Star Trek" series. It will allow us to accelerate spacecraft to interstellar velocities to travel to nearby star systems within a human lifetime. In this video, you'll find out: How can a toothbrush help with space travel? How many hours will it take to get to Jupiter? Is it really possible to create a warp drive that could travel faster than the speed of light? And can we move through space as fast as they do it in the "Star Trek" series?
