here is a small snippet from this article

 The future of space exploration could be powered by black holes or dark matter based on new proposals by physicists, current spacecraft propulsion and power systems are inadequate for taking us beyond our own solar system.

"Spaceships powered by black holes or dark matter may be the future of stellar exploration. The radical proposals, put forward by physicists in two American universities, are hoped to make visits to other stars in our galaxy plausible."

I think they'd be better off trying to come up with an easy way to create anti-matter.... The two ideas mentioned in the article fall under the "nice theories - can't be done in reality" heading. Although, I suppose that is why they refer to it as Theoretical Physics....

What ME doesn't take into account are the relativistic effects mentioned in the article. Sure, we could send a ship to Andromeda, and while it may seem like only a decade long journey to the crew, don't expect to come back to visit your parents any time soon. Or your great-great-great grandparents, for that matter.

At a minimum, no matter how fast the ship goes, millions of years will pass on earth before the ship reaches the destination. Of course, most fiction invents loopholes to get around this, for story purposes.
