Well thanks for pointing that out. I'm more of a baseball guy myself. I guess I should stop thinking that watching the Red Sox will launch me to the International Space Station though.

I don't recall posting anything of what I think of time travel on this board since I joined so I have no idea how you would form an opinion of what my understanding of it is.

But the problems they are having with that is squaring the QM world with our large world. It is one thing to move a proton. It is quite another to move a entire body or copy trillions of particles in the exact order and re assemble them in the exact order at the exact same spin and momentum and speed. Trillions of particles all at the same time. Some physicists, think at best we can only use that for communication at the proton level.
To move an entire body, it would be like trying to shoot billions if not hundreds of billions of billiard balls all at the same time. So even if it is possible mathematically, there still may be a physical limitation in reality. But again, if we really do get to that point, if ever, you don't simply talk about it.
I don't recall talking about it myself so I have no idea why you went there but thanks for letting me know beforehand that I'm not allowed to.

No argument there, lol. I thought I may have been missing it before but now I'm certain of it.
I must be misunderstanding you too.
It isn't that hard from my POV
Idea, then collect data, set up control group, test and falsify, peer review.
Not
Idea, then it will happen because I merely claimed it.
Si fi is not science anymore than religion explains anything.
Like I said, the experts at the top of science already have enough of a hard time even with everything they get right without laypeople gap filling and assuming what they are really saying. And even they have their competing ideas.
The reason I say Si fi isn't even science is because you watch tons of it you will understand most of it goes nowhere and will never be a reality. Ideas have to be tested, not merely claimed.
