Ask a Physicist: What are your prospects for getting a faster than light drive?

My latest column is up!

This is a bit different than my normal fare, since I’m trying to tackle the sci-fi side of things head on. However, it’s entirely like my normal fare in that I end up being a downer with every possible mechanism.

I anticipate a lot of fun debate in the comments section.

If you’d like to submit your own question to the column, please do!
