Time travel and teleportation are staples in many sci-fi films, such as Star Trek.

But some physicists say they will likely become possible before the end of this century.

While time travel may be the most ambitious feat of engineering, they say that it might be possible by 2100, while space tourism and invisibility cloaks will probably become available within just 15 years.

Physicists from Imperial College London and the University of Glasgow predicted when ‘sci-fi technologies’ as seen in Star Trek, Star Wars, Back to the Future and Harry Potter will probably become scientific fact during the lifetimes of current school children.

In research among a panel of top UK scientists and a study of 11-16 year olds commissioned by The Big Bang Fair, scientists said that teleportation could become a daily activity by 2080.

It's a safe bet that it already IS a reality. ;-) To read more and view the video, click here.
