I would say that space travel could *be nearly instantaneous if one is advanced enough.

Folding space time would mean instant 'travel', more of a merging with any area at any moment. I think E.T.'s 'travel' with multidimensional capability by folding space-time, allowing them to materialize as near-apparitions in our dimension. They aren't just extra terrestrial, but extra dimensional, and are aware of how to manipulate the universe in ways we can't imagine. After all, physics is what we can observe, but the multidimensional universe is magnitudes larger than we can observe with any instrument or natural senses.

Your snobbery is insufferable.

Statements like "with right technology, you can fold space such that it takes zero time to travel from point A to point B" are in the same category.

That theory has already been in discussion amongst well known physicists since star trek... The idea of folding space-time has already been discussed... it's old news.
The question now is what technology would be capable of that.

BS, being a theoretical physicist, i would expect you to understand the not so subtle nuances between "possibility" and "probability".
Besides, without anything more tangible to go on, dwelling on it may be a good way to help push the theory further.
The most common Star Visitor race encountered, the Zetas, has a number of variants. These variations in size and details of appearance may represent origins on different planets. This Zeta race is popularly, and rather imprecisely, called the "Greys". The Zetas are stereotyped, by uninformed or careless writers, as: short, upright, two-legged beings, three-and-a-half feet tall, with grayish- white skin, large, hairless, fetal-shaped heads, with huge, all-black, sloping, almond-shaped eyes without pupils or eyelids, whose eyes wrap around partially towards the temple-area sides of the head, a narrow jaw tapering to almost a V, small nostril holes but no nose, a small, thin, lip-less, horizontal slit for a mouth, thin torsos with no ribs and no genitals evident, long, spindly, but surprisingly strong arms reaching to the knees, similarly long, very thin legs, and hands with three long, non-tapering, joint-less fingers, which end in claws instead of fingernails, but no thumb.
To be sure, there is such a race of beings; or at least a race, of which this is one variant. However, there are also: five-foot tall Zetas, seven-foot tall Zetas, Zetas with mushroom-white skin, Zetas with brown skin, Zetas with black skin, Zetas whose large eyes have a thin nictitating membrane which can extend across the eye, Zetas with midnight-blue eyes, Zetas with wispy fine small amounts of hair on their heads, Zetas with four fingers, and Zetas with three or four fingers plus another finger positioned where the human thumb would be, and Zetas whose fingers end with suction-cup-like tips.
