Default Warp Technology Possible?

Assuming that we can properly obtain and contain antimatter, could this at all be realistic?

I'm sure there may be other factors that are a tad unlikely, but that's all I could think of at the moment.

What's everyones opinion on this?

The Warp Drive has long been a staple of science fiction adventures. "Warping" magical device the propels our heroes (or villains) at mind-boggling speeds--much faster than light speed--from one star to the next, in the time it takes us to pop down the street to the local Circle K.

Most scientists have scoffed at the idea of traveling at speeds faster than light, dismissing it as an absolute impossibility. And they did so on the foundation of some very hard (and proven) scientific theory: Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. Einstein's theory states that no physical object in the universe can exceed the speed of light (186,000 m.p.h.).
