Of course you do! So what if current physics laws tell us its not possible.

"Never say 'NEVER'". Who can say what we can do in a hundred - thousand - ten thousand years. What would the cave man think about us today??

I don't know, the more I learn about the limits of physics, the more it seems like some of these things cannot actually be done on anything larger than a molecular level... in other words, it may be possible to transport a quark or an electron or something, but not an intact human.
Given enough time, I imagine we could be amazed at what we could do. However, I believe humans will destroy ourselves or our planet long before this could happen. If everyone stopped doing anyting except working toward these goals, maybe. But we're much too worried about fighting with each other than developing warp technology.

Current physics laws say it is not possible. Time travel will never be possible. However, theoretically, if you can get going faster than the speed of light, you can catch up to old light and watch things that happened in the past, but not actually go back in time. However, according to Enstine's theory, that is not possible to do.
Beaming people around might actually be possible according to some theories. It wouldn't be safe on earth, due to the fact that the current theory for it involves going through worm holes, and stuff like that, but still, in space it would be pretty cool.

Er, we all experience time travel right now.
And even at differential rates from each other, though the differences are extremely, uh, minute.
In some extreme cases, such as with astronauts, it could be a minute or two difference relative to the rest of us.

Current physics laws don't tell us that any of those things are impossible. They just indicate that we don't know how to do them just yet. It may, indeed, turn out that some (or all) of them -are- impossible. But that has yet to be proven.
In particular, we don't know anywhere -near- enough about quantum hyperspace or the possibilities of a true 'quantum multiverse' to even begin to make such claims.

Belief has nothing to do with reality. Just because you believe something doesn't make it true. Otherwise, the world would be flat, and at the centre of the universe (after all, that's what people believed!)
Personally, I don't believe in these things - but that doesn't make me correct.

No it is not going to be possible. Because we can't rearange are atoms in some kind of way so that we can be beamed up in to a ship or some sort of thing like that.

I time travel every night. I get into my time machine (bed), and when I wake up, I've been transported seven hours into the future.

The laws that govern such things are rigid, there is virtually no chance any of them will ever happen.

NO NO NO a thousand times NO!!!
I wish you time travel and FTL nuts would learn some real physics.
