    History will not catch up to Star Trek because Star Trek is a work of fiction and some of it relies on violating basic laws of physics.

    This is like someone in the 1930s asking what should happen when history catches up with the H.G. Wells-scripted film Things to Come.

    The answer is: Nothing, and part of that reason is that we don’t shoot people into space with a big cannon.
