Also do you believe in time travel in the future and if yes how do you think we will be able to do it?

Warp speed, definitely. It's a highly nonlinear scale, too. Warp 2 is speed of light and Warp 10 is infinitely fast, but requires infinite energy. It can, therefore, only be approached arbitrarily closely by advanced technology such as Q's. And don't let anyone tell you it's not real :-)

Warp speed like the other answerer said is a fictional term meaning "faster than light" however in real life speeds cannot exceed the speed of light, Furthermore any object that has mass cannot ever be at the speed of light because it would require infinite energy to be moving forward.
As for time travel:
Time travel to the past is still debated but is mostly thought to be impossible however there are physicists who are entertaining the idea and doing research.
Time travel to the future is very much possible according to Einsteins Relativity. The rate at which you go through time (time travel) is proportional to your speed. So an object that moves faster through space moves faster through time. This was tested in an experiment using extremely accurate atomic clocks on airplanes and it was shown that the difference on clocks moving at different speeds agreed with what Einsteins theory said should have happened.
If this subject interests you this much I suggest you read Einsteins book on Relativity which is available on "manybooks.net" for free (it is no longer subject to copyright law). And also check out the Elegant Universe video documentary on the PBS website.
Hope this helps.

Warp speed, since its supposedly faster than the speed of light.
As for time travel, it could be possible if you traveled from the Earth at the speed of light, and returned at the speed of light (thus experiencing massive acceleration in the opposite direction), it would seem as if more time had passed than the length of your journey.

Warp driveis a fictional idea of the Star Trek universe that allows ships to travel faster than light. Thus, warp speed is both faster and fictitious.

no i dont believe in time travel.
warp speed is faster
light speed=186,000miles per sec
warp speed 1 = 1 x light speed
warp speed 2 = 8 x light speed
warp speed 3 = 27 x light speed
warp speed 4 = 64 x light speed
warp speed 5 = 125 x light speed
warp speed 6 = 216 x light speed
so and so forth

Warp speed is pure science fiction, time travel is impossible, now and for all time.

Warp speed is not well defined. But wormhole is well defined.

Warpspeed. though fictional now, in the future something similar could be developed. something that uses wormholes.
(that might not violate the laws of physics)
Google "Wormholes" to find out about these mysterious freaks of nature
