I know that currently, people believe FTL is not possible but I can't get myself to believe that. I am currently reading a book called "the science of Star Trek" and while it's written by William Shatner(who's a bit crazy, IMO), he talked to and visited many scientist, PhD's, astro-physicists, etc etc to complete it. ANYWAY, some of the people he asked have come up with possibilities of altering the space around said craft instead of going faster than the speed of light. If you did happen to go faster then the speed of light, say at warp speed just for instance, there are problems with it anyway such as Time Dilation or even possible time travel (which still has no been proven). But Time Dilation would be a big problem for warp speed that they would need to solve, so altering the space around would be an easier way to travel from galaxy to galaxy anyway - you'd obviously have to make a vessel that can accomplish this.
A physicist has actually come up with a theory for fast space travel. Using the 'Theory of General Relativity', which is a theory that shows how to distort space he created(well not created-yet) a ship pulls Space (literally space) closer as you fly through and causes you to go great distances very fast, just like warp speed. AND it eliminates time dilation problems. Then once you went through the space, it re-expands. Of course, there's a problem - you need negative energy which might not even exist. SO, it is a possibility that we can achieve deep-space travel. I will always believe that, because I wanna be apart of such phenomenon.I hope some day a brilliant scientist will come along and do this for us
