A10anisI love this guy, but i'm rather surprised he uses the word "impossible" in relation to science. If there is one thing science is increasingly showing, it is that todays impossible is tomorrows reality.

shagen454"Aliens" communicate telepathically
or are they are future selves, or were they the KREATORS I dunno. Getting loopy just thinking about it!!
ChaosEngineI'm not so sure. A few centuries or even decades ago that may have been true, when we thought something was impossible because we didn't know how to do it. These days when we say something is impossible, it's usually because it violates one of the fundamental principles of physics (speed of light, laws of thermodynamics, etc).
Not sure if that applies to what he's saying here, though.

A10anisGood point. However, we are just beginning to explore things like quantum mechanics and who knows what the potential there is. It is even being conjectured that light speed may be possible. As for the "laws," aren't laws there to be broken?...;) On a purely romantic note; The universe is there for us to explore and I have every faith that "man" will find a way, even if every solution seems impossible. If not, it would be an awful shame, and an awful waste of space.

ChaosEngineConsidering I have been accused of having a blackened shrivelled ball of cynicism where my heart should be, I am actually optimistic about this too.
We'll eventually do wondrous things, but they just won't look anything like traditional scifi. We just have to learn to change our way of thinking.
