Technological achievement
Quantum entanglement & artificial gravity.
Scientists in a Taiwan laboratory succeed in transmitting information faster than the speed of light utilising an effect based on the unusual properties associated with quantum entanglement. Calculated at travelling nearly 3.26 light years in one Earth day, near instantaneous communications is now possible with the fledgling Mars colony. The first working gravity-field generator is activated in San Francisco. This makes artificial gravity fields possible on larger starships.
