>>6481659 There is a difference between challenging and breaking all known laws of physics, the purest and most testable form of knowledge.
I mean, sure, dragons might be real or the Earth really a big organic computer designed by mice like in the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
The thing is, FTL travel is not one bit more possible. It's pure magical thinking. Part of the reality of our having more and more knowledge is that we gain it largely by ruling out things.
Something like folding space, wormholes etc. are vaguely possible. FTL travel is not. It's not an unknown or a challenging problem. It's homeopathy. It's using rhino horn powder to make your penis bigger.
No one would even be considering it or thinking about it if it hadn't been dreempt as a cheesy plot device in old pulp serials, popularized, and entered into modern imagination as if it were some actual problem to tackle.
Stop trying to make Star Wars real life, there are better, more interesting challenges in physics that don't require breaking every single law of physics as surely as willing a rock to float would. You aren't expanding thinking...you're making it smaller and thinking inside a box.
