That's completely irrelevant to anything, lol The point I am trying to make is that just because we don't have the information now, doesn't mean it's impossible. Our laws are created as a response to fit the observations we've recorded. They're not the word of God. And again, the power of naivete and imagination is what drives a lot of groundbreaking research (like in the blockchain industry). And the point I'm making is that "just because we falsified stuff before, we can do it again" is a bad argument, since the knowledge 1000 years ago was based on easily falsified beliefs, whereas now our understanding of the universe today is a lot more rigorous. Our laws aren't just a fit of observations, they've predicted plenty of observations as well. Saying that "we can discover how to travel faster than light, because we used to believe the Sun circled around the Earth" is a poor argument. Furthermore, the falsifications we've done historically haven't necessarily radically changed existing theory. Newton's laws of motion are still plenty valid under most normal conditions. --- Stop being so aggressively argumentative for no reason. - UnfairRepresent <cite>scar the 1 posted [p:928587204] in Nobel Priz...
