I don't know if we'll ever travel through space like in Star Trek, but we might make phone calls that way. The theory of relativity says that you can't travel at the speed of light, but it doesn't say you can't travel faster. Quantum mechanics says that everything happens in quanta, including velocity.

So imagine if we could accelerate atomic particles to just below the speed of light, and then cause its velocity to make a leap to just above the speed of light? Such a thing could then be accelerated even faster and used as a communications carrier.
