	Nanotechnology is the science of nanites, molecule-sized robots which can manipulate individual atoms. By doing this they can self-replicate and assemble any product, directly from any source of atoms available. They could turn raw sewage and dirt into a gourmet meal, they could produce a giant diamond out of a pile of coal. Just as computers have changed every aspect of our lives, Nanotechnology will do the same on a much greater scale. It will end disease, hunger, poverty, death, and crime, but it could also become a weapon that would make atom bombs look like firecrackers.
	The future of space exploration will inevitably require mass amounts of energy. But so far, producing this energy has required that we take along huge amounts of fuel. Soon we may be able to make energy the same way stars do, generating vast amounts of energy from an almost limitless supply of fuel. This extremely efficient energy is called fusion power, and it may be the main energy source of the twenty-first century. There is currently advanced research on this, and it has even been produced for short periods of time. Soon, in the early 21st century, we may have working power plants. This technology will also cut down a lot on pollution, as it will shut down fossil fuel power plants, and it does not produce the radioactive waste that current fission power plants do.
	How can someone, after traveling to a distant star and back, be 5 years younger than thier twin? How does time distort and dilate when your velocity increases? What does E=MC² mean? Why can nothing go faster than light? Find out with Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity!
	Imagine traveling across billions of light years, and arriving at a distant galaxy before you even began your trip! How can wormholes, which are cousins of black holes, travel through time and space? Do they really exist? How can they be created? Find out in the Wormholes page.
