They make a claim and by proxy of depiction because it was depicted that means it is true.No sci-fi source is making the kind of claim you seem to think they are.

Si Fi lovers want special treatment just like those in religion claim to be inventors because of depictions in their books.No, sci-fi fans are not asking for anyone to take fictional claims seriously and you're the only one who seems to think so.

But the fact si fi shows are depicting those things now does not mean we are there yet. Thus the word "eventually".Actually, the only sci-fi I have seen with FTL are set in the future. What the fuck is wrong with speculating what might come in the future?!?

That is not what QM means by infinite possibilities.So what. No one is claiming these things will happen. That's you making shit up.

For fucks sake Brian. You are the only one who thinks these fictional claims are being accepted in reality, except for a minority of really stupid people. No one thinks were on the verge of interstellar flight in FTL ships. No one thinks quantum teleporters will be on sale at Walmart next Tuesday. But you seem to think there are some teeming masses somewhere that do.
