Yes, indeed, Mr. Ferniz. It is one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in science.
I am sure your son has played the video game called "HALO" , which involves this slip-space stream technology that uses the basis of technology as the fuel for human galactic imperialism. It is antimatter technology (atom smasher) that will be utilized to fuel space-ship travel and massed migration of human populations to habitable new worlds that can host human life.
In the video game, which actually produced 5 novels that follows the plot of the video game and fills in the questions left in the game , it explains that slip-space technology and antimatter technology was used to colonize the inner planets and the outer planets , all of which were part of the Imperial Arm of Earth under the command of the UNSC (United Nations Space Command).

After reading all 5 novels and playing the 3 video game series, I was left wanting. One is left to believe that such technology is indeed possible and that such human migration --is--indeed possible.
I notice one thing about our species--it is our driven need to explore new worlds and that the need to explore and expand was the basis for producing new technology to augment and support such an expansionist project.
Human galactic colonization of new worlds? Is it really possible? I like to think so.
Afterall, we already conquored gravity by sending man into the heavens. And predict the weather patterns to a degree.
We have conquored the atom and harnished it as a force for destruction (atom bombs).
Now we need to use the atom for a force of good; a force of unfathomable energy that would quench our species' need for energy.
