Why not?
The scientific community already has figured out that time and space can be bent, allowing a person/object to theoretically 'jump' from one point in the universe to another.
Presently the limitations regarding the mechanics that would be capable of this are the seemingly impossible levels of energy needed, as well as processing power which would allow the mapping of every atom in whatever material is being transported.
Mankind will get to that point if we can survive long enough at consistently improving levels. Technological innovation is exponential. Once we figure out how to harness and control the limitless atomic energy available in a safe manner without blowing the planet in half (or polluting it to the point where it's uninhabitable), there will be no stopping what we can do.
If we at our best will inevitably get to that point, an advanced civilization would probably be at that point already...
theoretically, that is.
