Can today's science fiction be tomorrow's science fact? There is a two-way trade between science fiction and science. Science fiction suggests ideas that scientists incorporate into their theories. Sometimes, science turns up notions that are stranger than science fiction (like the discovery of the black hole).

There's a list of science fiction inventions we would like to see become reality. So, explore topics such as: the principles of quantum physics as exemplified by the various spaceships; the latest technological advances in robotics; how close we are to creating our own robots or synthetic humans; Einstein's theory of relativity and how it affects space travel; all about wormholes, black holes, hyper drive, and so many other mind-blowing scientific facts.

Sci-fi is full to overflowing with various new modes of transport, from interstellar ships to teleporters to hoverboards. While many of these are unlikely to become a reality, especially anytime soon, one futuristic mass transit system, the Hyperloop, is inching towards us. By 2017, construction is scheduled to begin on the world’s first Hyperloop. While it won’t be able to quite reach the 800 miles per hour that is the ultimate target speed for this kind of technology, the five-mile track in the planned community of Quay Valley, California, this is the biggest step forward for this potential new transport system.
