Uh, it's called "reality" my friend, try it.

You can't "invent" your way out of fundamental physical limits.

A Boeing 747 looks the same in 1969 as it does today. It still flies over the Atlantic in six hours burning kerosene in turbofan engines.

Sure, you can get a few percent here, a few percent there, but do you think suddenly we'll have warp drive?

Come on. Do you know how empty and huge space is?
