You mean where they were advanced enough to invent an interstellar warp drive, but a black lady still answered the space phone?

你是说那个先进到能发明出能进行恒星际旅行的曲速引擎却还是让一个黑人女性接太空电话的世界吗？

I suppose he could generate stocking-to-stocking wormholes, or have spacetime warp drive on board his sleigh, but I've got a different theory.

我怀疑他可以产生虫洞，或者在他的雪橇上装了时空扭曲推进器，但我有不同的理论。

And don't forget that using warp drive technology would require an enormous amount of energy in the first place.

不要忘记，使用曲速引擎技术首先需要大量的能量。

I'm not talking wormholes or warp drives -- whatever -- just an extrapolation of the sort of tech that TED celebrates.

我不是在谈论虫洞或曲速引擎——不管怎样——只是对 TED 所推崇的那种技术的一种推断。

There aren't any warping starships on the horizon, but one NASA scientist has designed a warp drive on a theoretical craft called the IXS Enterprise.

地平线上没有任何翘曲星际飞船，但美国宇航局的一位科学家在一种名为 IXS Enterprise 的理论飞船上设计了一种曲速引擎。
