when do we figure out FTL travel

Fuk yea bro absoulte same

there are no physical constraints in the long run because physics is probabilistic

I chose >200 years but I think stuff that's isomorphic to FTL travel happens eventually? Like it's vaguely plausible even on currently known physics

Counterpoint: universe without physical constraints is a universe without a higher law, i.e. chaos.

I'll just say if FTL is physically possible there definitely are NOT any intelligent aliens in the galaxy.

The FTL question is the same as the time travel question. If either were possible, the universe would be full of travellers.

Yeah. Wouldn't it be nice if we could make things happen by wishing them?

I suspect this reaction is fairly typical in our milieu. It is the twin of the resentment of the notion of hard(-ish) constraints on humans imposed by biology, and of the notion of unchosen obligations.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

'Never because physical constraints' is the boring but probably correct answer. Solves the Fermi Paradox too. The comparison to powered flight doesn't really work because we could observe animals doing it

The impossibilities are limited

can you poll: which seems more infeasible: anti-gravity or FTL travel
-
maybe throw in AGI
