Are these real theories, or are they just science fiction?
And assuming that they are real possibilities, how long would it take to develop the technology? Are we looking at centuries for a realistic time table?

Once we are at the height of Nano Age, we should have a space elevator, much more powerfull propulsion, great shielding for radiation, etc..
The key is traveling to a place 20 light years away without returning 40 years later on earth, who wants that job?
So who knows, 100-200 years for the nano age to revelutionize the world in some pretty amazing ways, and maybe space folding, wormhole travel 200-400 years?
We need a way to get there quickly without wasting 40 years for a round trip.
