What I like about the future

So I recently was going through some old school things, and I came across my old notebook from astronomy. Now let me tell you, this might have been one of the single most interesting classes I have ever taken. What I liked most about it, was my teacher got into talking about wormholes, black-holes, what have you. But this would often lead on to talking about the potential for inter-galactic space travel by unconventional means of travel, such as bending space-time to fit any persons specifications. What I found most interesting about this, was the technology is already readily available, just waiting to be harnessed. In saying this, I mean scientists in German I think it was were able to instantly teleport a certain photon with a certain characteristic across some distance. I don't know the specifics of it, but it is very, very exciting, because with this technology, within the next hundred years, they think they will be able to move a whole molecule, possibly even a small organism. The only setback, that in order to teleport a living being, it has to die, and then make a copy of itself. I dont know the physics behind all of it, but it is pretty well explained in this video, Michio Kaku's explanation of the physics of the impossible. (It's a bit long, but worth the watch)

What I think is most interesting is that it would technically be possible to do all of this regardless of the immense amount of power it would take. My teacher ended the semester talking about dark matter and dark energy. Our known universe is comprised of 4% atoms and energy, 23% dark matter, and 73% dark energy. This dark energy makes it possible to do the seemingly impossible in the midst of dark matter, due to the way the two things are attracted to each other. In saying this, I should point out that dark energy has the properties of matter, yet are intangible. It is all very strange and mysterious to us still, but may one day be a possibility to understand, and maybe even harness.
