  Reading in the June edition of Popular Science it says researchers at 
the Institute for Advanced Studies propose they may be able engineer the 
vacuum of space.  Using concepts based on quantum physics saying empty 
space contains zero-point energy.  Meaning pretty much the ability to 
control inertia or warp space.
