Only time and money separate the current state of rocketpropulsion science from the engine rooms of Star Trek's Starfleet,according to a university professor.

James Woodward,a history professor at California State University in Fullerton,presented his research into Mach-Lorentz thrusters Wednesday at the Future in Review conferencehere.
