1. Our leading minds have only evolved for 200k years.
2. We've been considering the issue for less then 100 years.
3. Why does space travel require moving at all? Doesn't space bend naturally through gravity and worm holes? If you can manipulate space then you might only have to travel 100 yards to the next galaxy.

Working with quantum physics for another 100 years will probably give us enough answers to understand the theories behind space travel. We've only known about atoms for a few generations and now we have nuclear bombs. Think what might happen with a 100, 1,000 or 1,000,000 more generations thinking about them.

Yeah he has, but good SF uses scientific fact as a base for speculation on what is possible. If an alien race is more advanced than us, then what we see as "speculation" may be "yesterday's technology" to them. We talk about Capt Kirk "bending space around wormholes to jump large distances" and they may look on that as a "primitive form of travel".
