Astronomy

do you guys think we will be able to surpass C, or bend space?

A macroscopic object moving faster than 3e8 m/s is physically impossible. Even moving at a speed comparable to the speed of light has pretty rough ramifications.
That being said, however, a dream for me as a Physicist would involve some method to travel vast distances in short periods of time. I do not think technology will get that advanced in my lifetime, so I plan to focus on space/space travel in general. I think, eventually, harnessing a rosen-einstein bridge will be within our capabilities.

I want it to turn out stargate-esque

Also, high chance I'll be interning with NASA at CalTech's JPL this summer
