But driving to work in one second would do murder on in-car-DVD-player sales. And how can a fellow find time to talk on his phone while driving? Sheesh.

Look at Han Solo. He always takes his pretty time getting his ship shot up while calculating a hyperspace route and then when he's <em>supposedly</em> ready, it never works. Someone from the last place he visited, probably jealous that they don't have a hyperdrive, disables it. Do you want your hyperdrive to fail when you're ten minutes late for work and three Star Destroyers are bearing down on you? NO!</p> <p>Noooo sirree. If we're talking about ways to beat your commute with science fiction, folding space-time is the way to go. Much easier on the inner-ear too. Plus, you can always go back in time and give yourself something if you forget it. Just like in Bill and Ted.</p> Also, you should consider that even if you have a hyperdrive, people are always sabotaging it. Look at Han Solo.

You might enjoy The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene. . . . it’s a bit dated, but good for smart laypersons in understanding some of the marvels of physics.

Oh, and I found this and thought of you: http://www.usbgeek.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=0356
