Which of these things is most likely to happen in the future?

I can see the cloaking device being functional eventually. Time travel and teleportation just seem physically impossible regardless of scientific advancements.

One could potentially say that "cloaking technology already exists". It just hasn't gone so far as to look likethe stuff out of science fiction movies.

Similarly, teleportation exists. Quantum teleportation has been demonstrated. But again, it'sa not like teleportation in the movies, and only works on a sub-atomic scale.

Time travel? I don't know, but I'm sort of skeptical about progress in that area (that is, aside from Einstein's Relativity theories, which were provn by empirical data, which PROVED that time travel to the future is possible). Time travel into the future is pretty much fact. Time travel into the past? I'm not so sure about that.

I thought the US Army was developing something along the lines of active camouflage?

Teleportation, if it were possible, could be highly dangerous to a lifeform.

Think about what is unseen, such as the intricacies of a DNA strand. No teleporter could ensure a complete copy of DNA in its entirety.

Cloaking but Id prefer time-travel if I had a choice. Could happen I guess...maybe, I dont know I hope :P

Well cloaking is feasible in certain forms. Teleportation and time travel have their issues of course.

Time Travel will never happen.

The other two might, and I think the cloaking device will come first.

Personal cloaking device; it might not be perfect, but I think the US army was working on one for their tanks.Mochyc

Time travel will never happen. Cloaking is the only thing that is realistic.

That'd be insane. You're just walking down the street, you hear a tank noise, you think you're going crazy, then you get run over. :P

Near future: Invisablility. Scientists have already defied the laws of optics by bending light using metamaterials.

The other two would be harder to accomplish, but not impossible. Science is always about proving knowntheories wrong and reworking them.

oh the things i could do with a cloaking device...

Time travel? Probably not.

maybe the other 2 i dunno.

the last one. time traveling u would have to figure out how to go to other dimensions and teleporting is almost impossible
