Trump's Science Director Says US Can "Manipulate Time And Space", Prompting Wild Conspiracy Theories
Kratsios was attending the "Endless Frontiers" retreat, an event "focused on rebuilding the foundations of American strength at a time of geopolitical and technological upheaval", when he made the remarks.
"But we are capable of so much more. Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity," Kratsios said.
Conspiracy theorists on Reddit and X took this as disclosure that the US was hiding technologies that could indeed manipulate time and space.
"It is true, and has been true since the days of the Philadelphia Experiment (1940ies), which itself is only a rediscovery of more ancient knowledge and tech," one commenter said. "But, it is weird to hear him blurt it out. Sometimes the breakaway civilisation likes to share the truth with the public as they think it absolves them from the karma of withholding the truth from the public ie., they can point at these examples and say... we told the public, it's not our fault they didn't believe us."
While that would be the fun option, it's pretty clear that that's not what Kratsios was talking about. We do not have technologies that can manipulate space and time, unless you mean in the Einsteinian sense of "faster objects experience time slower". Which is cool and useful for anyone who likes GPS, but not exactly what you'd dub "manipulating time" or space.
In short, Kratsios was likely just speaking metaphorically, in the sense that e.g. Internet communication can shorten distances between different sides of the planet. He was not disclosing any secret advanced technology that can manipulate time and space. But maybe this is the sort of response your words will get when you are part of an administration that promised conspiracy theorists more disclosures on UFOs, and actively encourages conspiracy theories elsewhere.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
