I’ve seen and read many science fiction stories. They feature a lot of cool future technologies (as well as some weird and totally impractical social arrangements, as in the Divergent series). The most popular sci-fi technologies are perhaps interstellar space travel and time travel. It’s understandable why authors would imagine those, since they open the way for many amazing adventure stories. But neither of those technologies is coming any time soon. Space travel is possible, but, since nothing can move faster than light, we’d have to be way more advanced to contemplate it. We’d have to be so advanced that we would be interested in sending off multi-century or multi-millennia exploratory missions. And time travel, of course, is completely impossible.
