Well, I did do some more research today and found something interesting: “It would take an elephant, balanced on a pencil, to break through a sheet of graphene the thickness of Saran Wrap.” I presume that basically would be equal to stabbing graphene.

From what I can remember, Kevlar is stronger than steel. How is it that scissors can cut through a Kevlar string? In this case, wouldn't the fibers actually be getting cut instead of parted?

Thanks for answering. I presume you're saying an inch of graphene itself would be impervious to a knife attack. However, if weaved incorrect, the tip of a knife can part the material; therefore, passing through the gap in the fabric?

I've read that it's several times stronger than steel. I haven't read anything about its stabbing resistance against the tip of a knife, though. Does anyone have any ideas on this subject? Could a human stab through an inch of it?

That is true. I asked those questions from a theoretical point-of-view, to see what opinions people have on it. Since we are unable to teleport humans, at least at the moment, I don't think there's a wrong or right answer yet unless proven otherwise. Obviously, you don't have to answer...

So I just finished watching a video of the theatrical scientist, Michio Kaku, about teleportion. According to Kaku, scientists have teleported light in the past. Kaku believes in the distance future, humans will be able to teleport as well. There's two questions I have about this: 1) When...

All theoretical videos I've seen on them are showing an actual bubble in the diagrams. However, warping space-time doesn't seem like it'd make an actual visible bubble..that's capable of being seen. Which is why I asked. Too many videos use special effects.

In theory, if one existed, would it actually be a bubble visible to the naked eye?

I'm sure a lot of you have heard of the warp drive theory. I can't seem to find much on the bubble part, though. In theory, will the bubble be something you can actually see and touch?

Just thought I'd add Nugatory pretty much answered what I asked. Thanks for the help from you all. The only question I would suppose I have left is: do scientists have any theories on how to surpass the speed of light in the future, without wrapping space or using wormholes, of course?

Ah, thanks! So the reason for not being able to travel at certain speeds is because the energy is being converted into mass? So really...infinite energy is irrelevant, because it too will be converted into mass as well?

:) So it's impossible to go faster than light because too much of the energy would be used as mass?

So, even if an object maintained a speed, neither increasing or decreasing, the mass will continue to increase and increase with no end? And in order to keep the object moving, nothing less than unlimited energy will be needed?

Sorry for the confusion. Well, it said the mass would approach infinity; therefore, wouldn't the mass of the object have to start increasing with no end since it's infinite?

Thanks. I believe I'm starting to make some sense of all of this. "As the body's speed approaches c, light speed, the mass becomes huge and approaches infinity." The above is something I found; however, it didn't go into the details I'd like to know. Basically, the mass would start...
