Funny things have shown up in the past few years. For one, much of the Star Trek Technology is either being worked on, or already exists.
Star Trek Universe : Replicators
Replicators are machines or mini-factories that can create whatever they are asked to. When they showed up in the Star Trek Universe everyone was in awe as someone could walk up to the Replicator and state “Make me a copy of this key” and within a few seconds it showed up.
2013 : 3d Printers
3d Printers are machines or mini-factories that can create whatever they are asked to. When they showed up in the real world everyone was in awe as someone could walk up to the 3d printer and load the blueprints to make a copy of a key, within minutes the key shows up.

The list goes on, Theoretically The Alcubierre Drive could be considered a warp drive.
Though the Alcubierre Drive might be more potent as a weapon than an actual Warp Drive, as concerns are raised by Brendan McMonigal, Geraint F. Lewis, and Philip O’Byrne have argued that when an Alcubierre-driven ship decelerates from superluminal speed, the particles that its bubble has gathered would be released in energetic outbursts; in the case of forward-facing particles, energetic enough to destroy anyone at the destination directly in front of the ship.
In other words it might destroy solar systems on arrival.
It’s close people, we’re closer than we can imagine.
