It never hurts to believe something MAY be possible and to begin writing down rules for how we would deal with it IF it were to happen. Just like the laws of robotics, although robots are just barely becoming self-aware and capable of interacting with their environments in an autonomous fashion, we have simple laws that COULD be the foundation for their behavior.
Imagination is a wonderful and powerful thing, but we are still learning what the universe is made of, accounting for the missing mass of possible "dark matter" and experimenting with smashing atoms into each other. So, to me this is about as sophisticated as early man striking flint on stone for the first time and making a spark! We will get it, or more importantly YOU (the next generation of scientists) will get it; a further understanding of universal building-blocks and how to manipulate them easily.
Children and teenagers should be watching science programs on television, reading about these topics on the Internet, and finding way to relate the concepts to everyday life so they make "the best" sense. Physics is only as complicated as an untrained mind makes it out to be, and the keys to discovery lay there in the very fabric of space and time before us.
I believe we will achieve the ability to distort space and travel great distances between planets first, stars second, and then (maybe) time as a third and possibly accidental achievement. For all we know today, time may only be a construct that exists in three dimensional space for physical beings such as ourselves. There may come a time when "a type of life" based on energy will be discovered and understood, and we may recognize this life's normal pace of existence is AT the speed of life! So, if that happens and a sub-atomic form of life sneezes, does their sneeze travel forward in time?
Do you believe TIME TRAVEL?

Good luck young physicists, you need it!
