Blazers Yamato

What is the most realistic and reliable Faster Than Light spaceship propulsion method?

Is it:
– Warp Drives (Star Trek)
– Hyperspace (Star Wars)
– FTL jumps (Battlestar Galactica)
– Tachyon Drives (Space Battleship Yamato/ Star Blazers)
– Wormholes (Numerous studies)
Any many, many more…

None of them is very realistic.
“Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the drug store, but that’s just peanuts to space.”
Douglas Adams

The thing is to get from point A to point B requires you to do work, there’s no way around this. Getting from A to B faster requires more work. Getting from A to B at light speed requires an energy density that tends to reduce matter to a spray of subatomic particles, radiation and electromagnetic energy.

The tidal forces around any sort of natural distortions in space-time, that is wormholes, also have the same subatomic shredding effect as above.

Deliberately distorting space-time would require both a new regime of physics, which is to say it isn’t possible by current understanding, and insane amounts of exotic, possibly nonexistent forms of energy. Resulting in the same kablooey effect as the previous two.

FTL travel is just Sci-Fi, fantasy with the trappings of science fiction.

If you’re writing something featuring FTL travel as a necessity just pick whichever you like. If you’re being honest you have to write soap operas about generational ships or about people disconnected from their own origins by traveling at sub-light for decades in suspended animation.
