WOW!! I really like your style in this expose. It is a stream of consciousness type thing. So much of your "visions" I share in groking their essence. But, I wonder if you have considered that what we call space is also an invisible magnetic/energy field, that can be used once we understand how it operates. It is still possible that "time travel" could happen. Or that we can tap that space for other means of microscopic uses. The possibilities seem endless if we keep testing the essence of it's behavior.
I don't see dematerialization / re-materialization as a possible essence. Travel approaching the speed of light becomes very difficult.
Long space flights cooped up seems a crazy thing for me. The Nasa Budget is completely crazy. During the cold war it was nuke here
Nuke there. Now its Aliens here, Aliens there. Have to live on another planet, or moon. Total Crazy unfriendly to life and tons of radiation.
Crazy. Science Fiction?
Our great advancements in communication or in other words Advertising media gone wild, on the hoof, interrupting
your right to privacy in most all respects. Sort of like the sky writer of the 50's. Click bate, more adds, more click bate. Time travel would mean
all of the above, going to a different Spatial speed most likely. Basically, going back to where the earth was, or forward to where the earth will be. Physically that's not there now.
Everything is moving thru space. Never to repeat that exact distance nor is there a perfect forward position.
Its all being interacted with. A general idea of where you were in space 500 year ago or 500 in the future. But exactly, can't? You know
Rematerializing in a granite mountain or 3,ooo feet down in an oil well would just plain suck. Remember the show where the guy rematerialized
as a man-fly? Haha How about the Moon for your head. In the middle of a Cement highway like I-80 and 18 wheeler comming at cha
76 MPH.
Sure you can repeat the experiment over and over and learn from your mistakes, best way. But THE PAIN oh THE PAIN !
Most likely the best lessons are our constant need for wars, over and over. Never ending. Constant conflict, hostility and NUKES threats.
WE ARE DOOMED TO OUR OWN IDEAS.
Most likely Warped is the best explain it of Space. Like molecules attract, Chemistry. Mass attracts other mass, gravity warps space. etc.
I can guess a Black Hole leads to another dimension of space. Nowhere. A solid unbelievably dense Hunk Of Just old Nothing. Maybe
Matter and Energy ripped apart and squashed into the Primal Ball of its Elementary Watson, just stuff. No motion in it, just the Spin of the Ball of stuff.
