Can America Really Manipulate Time and Space? Unpacking the Viral Sci-Fi Claim
Hold onto your flux capacitors – a headline recently made waves claiming that the United States can “manipulate time and space.” If your reaction was anything like mine, you probably did a double-take and wondered if someone at the White House had been binge-watching Doctor Who.
The viral claim was attributed to a Trump administration science chief and sent the internet into a frenzy of speculation, jokes, and conspiracy theories. So, what’s the real story?
Did an official really suggest America has a secret time machine, or was it all just a big misunderstanding? Let’s dive in, with a hearty mix of curiosity, skepticism, and a dash of humor (because when time travel is on the table, you’ve got to have some fun with it).
A Sci-Fi Sounding Quote Goes Viral
The commotion began when Michael Kratsios, a former White House science adviser and then-director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy under President Trump, gave a speech at a tech retreat in Austin, Texas. During his keynote, Kratsios made an eye-popping statement: “Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity.”.
Yes, you read that right. A U.S. tech chief basically said we can bend time and space, as casually as one might brag about faster Wi-Fi.
It didn’t take long for those words to go viral. Attendees and internet sleuths alike started sharing the quote on social media, and the phrase “manipulate time and space” caught fire. Many people interpreted it literally, as if the U.S. government was outright announcing it had cracked the code on time travel or warp drive technology. On Twitter (or X, as it’s now called), reactions ranged from amazement to utter confusion.
One user implored, “Please elaborate on manipulating time and space,” capturing the collective bewilderment. Another post distilled everyone’s feelings in a simple “WTF?!” that garnered millions of views. In the blink of an eye (or perhaps the blink of a TARDIS), Kratsios’s remark became a trending topic.
So, did a top U.S. official really mean the nation has Harry Potter-level powers over the spacetime continuum? The short answer: probably not. Context is everything. The speech was focused on American innovation and the transformative power of technology, think AI, advanced aerospace, cutting-edge productivity tools, not actual physics-defying wizardry.
In fact, the line in question was almost certainly meant metaphorically. Phrases like “manipulate time and space” can be a grandiose way to say modern tech makes things faster and distances shorter. (For example, your smartphone eradicates the distance between you and a friend overseas, in a sense, technology “annihilates” distance by enabling instant communication. No literal wormholes required.)
Kratsios himself, in the same speech, gave clues that he was speaking figuratively. He spoke of a coming “Golden Age of American Innovation” and how individuals working on new technologies could “bend time and space, make more with less”. It sounds like he was hyping the impact of innovation, how breakthroughs can speed up processes (time) and overcome geographical barriers (space).
In other words, a poetic way to say tech makes our world smaller and our work more efficient. Of course, that nuance didn’t stop the internet’s imagination. After all, it’s way more fun to think a government official just hinted at a secret time-travel program than to assume he was using fancy metaphors.
At the time of writing, no official clarification had been issued by the White House. But we can use a bit of common sense here. If the U.S. truly had a handle on warping spacetime, it’s unlikely the revelation would come via an offhand remark at a conference. (One would hope for a presidential address from the Rose Garden at the very least, right?)
Still, the genie was out of the bottle, and people were buzzing: Could there be some truth behind the sensational words? What does science actually say about manipulating time or space? And why do these kinds of claims capture our imagination so strongly? Let’s separate fact from fiction, and sprinkle in the fascinating science that makes some of these ideas not entirely crazy (in theory, anyway).
What Science Says About Bending Time & Space
Okay, let’s swap out the tin-foil hat for a thinking cap and talk science. Is it even possible to manipulate time and space? The answer depends on what you mean by “manipulate.” We might not have a DeLorean that can send you back to the 1950s, but modern physics does allow some mind-bending phenomena that arguably stretch, slow, or bend time and space (within limits). Here’s a quick tour for the non-physicists among us (no PhD in astrophysics required):
Time Dilation – Slowing Time Down (for Real): Ever feel like time slows down when you’re bored in a meeting? Well, according to Einstein’s theory of relativity, time actually slows down if you move fast enough or experience strong gravity.
This is called time dilation, and it’s science fact. Astronauts on the International Space Station, for example, are zipping around Earth at 17,500 mph, and they experience time a tiny bit slower than we do on the ground. How tiny? When astronaut Scott Kelly spent 520 days in orbit, he aged about 5 milliseconds less than his twin brother Mark on Earth. In Scott’s frame of reference, time literally ran slightly slower, so when he came home, Mark was 5 milliseconds “older” than he would’ve been if both had stayed on Earth.
Incredible, right? Now, 5 milliseconds won’t help you relive your youth, but it shows that speed and gravity can manipulate the flow of time in a measurable way. If we pushed speeds closer to light or visited a neutron star with insane gravity, the effect would be much more dramatic, you could, in theory, travel years into the future (relative to Earth) by taking a high-speed ride and coming back, having aged less than those who stayed behind.
This is basically the plot of Interstellar (a must-watch for any time-travel enthusiast, the wormhole scenes alone are worth it, and it handles relativity in a surprisingly accurate way; the Interstellar (Blu-ray) is sitting on my shelf for whenever I need a mind-bending sci-fi fix). So yes, time manipulation in the sense of slowing it down is real, but it’s not exactly user-friendly. You can’t pause time for everyone like a universal remote; you can only alter how time flows for different observers by going extremely fast or being near a massive gravitational field. It’s cool, but it’s no Time-Turner from Harry Potter.
Wormholes – Shortcuts Through Space (and Maybe Time?): When people hear “manipulate space”, some probably think of wormholes (those hypothetical tunnels through spacetime that could connect two distant points).
A wormhole is basically a shortcut: imagine space as a sheet of paper, and you draw two dots far apart. Normally, a line between them is the travel distance. But if you fold the paper so the dots touch, you’ve made a shortcut – that’s the idea of a wormhole. Physicists Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen theorized these (Einstein-Rosen bridges) in 1935, and ever since, sci-fi has loved them.
Here’s the catch: no one’s ever found a real wormhole. They pop out of the math of General Relativity, but they might not actually exist naturally. Even if they do, using one is tricky.
Most solutions show wormholes would collapse too quickly or require something called exotic matter to hold them open, that’s stuff with negative energy density, which, as far as we know, isn’t available at your local hardware store.
Some newer research offers a glimmer of hope: studies in 2024 suggested maybe tiny traversable wormholes could be possible without exotic matter by using quantum effects. But again, all this is theoretical, a lot of “if, maybe, perhaps” in equations.
So, no Stargates in our basements yet. If a wormhole could be stabilized, though, it might allow not just jumps in space but also time travel under certain conditions (moving one end near light-speed could make it “younger” than the other, potentially allowing travel to the past through it). This raises all those famous paradoxes (what if you go back and prevent your own birth, etc.).
Most scientists think nature has ways to prevent paradoxical time travel, Stephen Hawking had a “chronology protection conjecture” basically saying the universe forbids time paradoxes. And so far, nature seems to be following that rule.
Warp Drives – Bending Space to Beat Distance: When Kratsios said “leave distance annihilated,” I immediately thought of warp drive concepts. If you’re a Star Trek fan, you know the USS Enterprise can zip between star systems by warping space.
Amazingly, physicists have actually played with this idea in real theory. In 1994, physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a mechanism (now called the Alcubierre drive) that would let a spacecraft move effectively faster than light without breaking the cosmic speed limit locally.
How? By manipulating space-time itself.
The idea is to compress space in front of a ship and expand space behind it, creating a little “warp bubble.” Inside that bubble, the ship is not technically moving faster than light relative to the space immediately around it, but the bubble carries it forward at effective superluminal speed. It’s like surfing a wave of space-time. Sounds awesome, right? The downsides: the original concept required negative energy (that exotic matter again), and an astronomical amount of energy overall, far beyond anything humanity can produce.
So, at present, warp drive is purely theoretical. NASA did have an experimental lab (the Eagleworks lab) that a few years back claimed to see tiny signs of something warp-ish on the microscopic scale, but nothing conclusive. In fact, some headlines in recent years teased “Scientists discover possible warp bubble,” but this is very nascent and not a functional engine by any means.
The good news? Research is ongoing. A 2024 paper by physicists in Alabama suggested a tweak to warp drive theory that might eliminate the need for negative energy, potentially a big step, at least on paper. But even those scientists will tell you we’re a long way from cruising the galaxy like Han Solo. Still, the fact that mainstream science even discusses warp drives shows how the boundary between sci-fi and real physics can sometimes blur.
Quantum Fields and “Tricks” of Physics: The viral claim also got people speculating about quantum physics – after all, quantum is synonymous with “spooky” nowadays. Could quantum field theory (our fundamental theory of particles) allow time manipulation?
In short, not in any obvious way.
Quantum physics has odd features, particles can be entangled across distance, seemingly affecting each other instantly. However, this doesn’t equate to usable faster-than-light communication or time travel. No experiment to date has sent information faster than light or backwards in time, and consensus among physicists is that you can’t use quantum entanglement to break the light-speed barrier for information. (Sorry, no quantum texting to your past self.)
There’s also talk of quantum vacuum and zero-point energy potentially warping space on microscopic scales, but again, nothing that lets you control time or teleport matter.
One fun fact: some proposals exist for quantum-based time crystals or other exotic states that have “time” as a symmetry, but those are more like special arrangements of particles (not a MacGyver tool to hop in time). In essence, quantum field theory, which underpins all of modern physics, still plays nicely with Einstein’s rules about cause and effect. So while the quantum world is deeply weird, it hasn’t given us a loophole in time or relativistic constraints.
Theoretical Propulsion vs. Reality: Over the years, there have been claims of breakthrough propulsion systems that flirt with new physics.
Remember the "EMDrive"? It was a proposed engine that, controversially, seemed to produce thrust without any propellant, which if true would violate conservation of momentum (like getting push without pushing on anything, a big no-no in physics).
For a while, even NASA tested this device, raising eyebrows: was this a warp field or quantum momentum magic at work? Alas, it looks like the EMDrive results were false positives. In 2021, a rigorous study by a team in Germany essentially debunked the EMDrive, showing that any thrust measured was likely experimental error, and in the end, it produced no detectable thrust when tested in a vacuum with proper controls.
So, despite sensational headlines, physics remains undefeated. No reactionless engine, no free lunch. If you want to overcome distance faster, you either need to go near light-speed (and deal with huge energy needs and maybe turning into a particle beam), or find a genuine space-time warp (see above: not easy).
In summary, modern science does have ways to warp space and time, but in very specific, constrained ways. We can dilate time (a one-way ticket to the future for the traveler). We can imagine warping space (in theory, with unobtainable energies). But what we can’t do, at least not yet, is anything like controlled time travel to the past or instant teleportation across space.
If America (or any country) had actually achieved those feats, it would be the most monumental secret in history. Which brings us to… conspiracy theories! Because of course, some people believe exactly that, that such things have been achieved and kept secret. And comments like Kratsios’s, however metaphorical, pour a bit of gasoline on that imaginative fire.
Time-Travel Tales and Conspiracy Legends Through History
The idea that shadowy government programs might have cracked time travel or spatial manipulation is a staple of conspiracy lore. It didn’t start with Michael Kratsios by any means. Let’s take a little trip (figuratively!) through some famous stories and claims, and see how they’ve evolved over time.
(Cue the X-Files theme.)
Historical “Time Manipulation” Legends:
The Philadelphia Experiment (1943): This is the grandfather of American time/space conspiracies. The story goes that in October 1943, the U.S. Navy was conducting a secret experiment to make a warship invisible to radar. The ship, the destroyer escort USS Eldridge, was allegedly fitted with some exotic tech.
According to legend, not only did it become invisible, but it teleported from the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard to Norfolk, Virginia, and even briefly slipped into a different time dimension, before reappearing in Philadelphia with crew members suffering horrifying effects (some accounts say sailors were fused into the metal of the ship, others talk of insanity and disorientation).
This wild tale is known as the Philadelphia Experiment. It’s been a persistent urban legend and was even turned into a 1984 sci-fi movie. But what’s the reality?
The U.S. Navy has repeatedly stated it never happened. Records show the USS Eldridge was on a routine mission elsewhere at the alleged time, and no evidence of any such experiment exists in Navy logs. The story seems to have originated from a series of letters by an eccentric man named Carl Allen in the 1950s, who wrote to a UFO book author claiming to have witnessed the event.
It’s likely a hoax or misunderstanding that took on a life of its own. Nevertheless, “Philadelphia Experiment” became shorthand for “government invisibility or teleportation tech” in conspiracy circles.
So when people heard “manipulate time and space” in 2025, some no doubt thought back to this tale – did the government finally admit something from 80 years ago? (For the record, no – Kratsios’s quote aside, there’s zero proof the Philadelphia Experiment was real. The only thing it’s evidence of is how a good story can endure.)
Project Pegasus (1970s): Fast forward to the Cold War era and we get Project Pegasus (not to be confused with various other military projects of the same name), this Project Pegasus is the code name given by a man named Andrew D. Basiago to a supposed secret U.S. program in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Basiago, a lawyer from Washington State, has for years claimed that as a child, he was involved in a clandestine DARPA program that achieved teleportation and time travel. According to him, the government not only sent people (including kids like him) back in time to observe historical events, but also teleported them to Mars as part of some exploratory mission.
Yes, it’s as fantastical as it sounds. Basiago has detailed memories (or claims) of teleporting via a device that “opened up a field of radiant energy” or some kind of portal.
He even says he popped into Ford’s Theatre multiple times on the night of Lincoln’s assassination (though somehow always missed witnessing the actual shooting) and that he met Barack Obama on Mars in the 1980s (when Obama was a college student, allegedly recruited under the name “Barry Soetoro”).
Wild, right? Basiago has been very public about these claims; he’s given many interviews and even ran for U.S. President on a platform of disclosure about time travel. Importantly, there is no credible evidence for any of this – just Basiago’s elaborate stories.
Scientists and historians dismiss it outright, and no government files have surfaced to back any of it up. But it’s become a well-known conspiracy theory, with a small but passionate following. Basiago calls himself a “chrononaut” (time-traveler) and has a surprisingly detailed narrative of Project Pegasus.
He says the program was real, under DARPA, and it “physically transported him through time” decades ago. As far-fetched as this is, you can see why Kratsios’s quote would light up the eyes of Pegasus believers: “Manipulate time and space” sounds exactly like what Basiago has described. Perhaps, they’d argue, the government is finally hinting at what Basiago’s been saying all along.
For most of us, though, Project Pegasus is firmly in the realm of science fiction (or an elaborate personal delusion). It does, however, make for a heck of a story, complete with teleportation chambers, Martian adventures, and alleged government cover-ups. If nothing else, it speaks to our collective fascination with the possibility that maybe someone, somewhere figured this out and kept it secret.
Montauk Project (1980s): No survey of time-manipulation lore would be complete without the Montauk Project. This conspiracy theory became popular in the 1980s and 1990s and shares DNA with the Philadelphia Experiment story.
In fact, the tale goes that some surviving equipment or knowledge from the Philadelphia Experiment was taken to Camp Hero in Montauk, New York (out on the tip of Long Island), where in the 1980s the government conducted further experiments in psychological warfare, electromagnetic manipulation, time travel, and even contact with extraterrestrials. It’s like someone took every possible paranormal trope and blended them together. The Montauk stories involve claims of a “Montauk Chair” that could enhance psychic powers, portals to other times and even other planets, and children being kidnapped for use in time experiments (yes, Stranger Things fans, this is literally the inspiration behind the Netflix show, “Montauk” was even the working title of the series!!).
As with the others, there is zero evidence any of this is real, and much of it comes from a series of books by Preston Nichols and Peter Moon, which read more like sci-fi novels than reportage. Nonetheless, Montauk has become a sort of modern myth, tying together threads from Philadelphia and feeding forward into things like Project Pegasus. It reflects Cold War anxieties and the idea that if something as crazy as time travel were possible, of course the government would weaponize it or use it in secret experiments.
So when people today swap conspiracy notes, Montauk invariably comes up: “Remember, they did this before in Montauk and Philly – maybe this White House guy is referring to that!” For the record, no serious historian gives credence to the Montauk Project stories, but they hold a cult status. And culturally, they show how these ideas evolve: Philadelphia was about invisibility teleportation in WWII, Montauk added psychic and alien elements in the ’80s, Pegasus moved it into time-travel and Mars in the ’70s (revealed later), and now we have…
Internet “Time Travelers” and Modern Myths: In the 2000s and beyond, conspiracy theories about time manipulation took on a new form: internet forums and viral videos. Perhaps the most famous example is John Titor, the alias of a person (or group) who posted on online forums in 2000 claiming to be a time traveler from the year 2036.
Titor gave detailed (and bizarre) descriptions of the future and the time machine (allegedly a device in a 1980s car) that brought him here. He made a bunch of predictions (a U.S. civil war, global nuclear conflict) that did not come true, and he vanished from the forums in 2001. Many believe it was a hoax or role-playing experiment, but the legend of John Titor still intrigues people. Fast forward to the 2020s, and we have TikTok and YouTube “time travelers” garnering millions of views with claims about coming from future decades or centuries.
If you scroll those apps, you might encounter videos like “Time Traveler from 2582 shows photo of the future” or “I am from 2080, here’s what happens next year.” Most of these are easily debunked or just silly entertainment (often using obvious fakery), but it shows that the appetite for time-manipulation stories is evergreen. People want to believe, or at least be entertained by the possibility that someone knows the future or has technology beyond our time.
In light of this rich history of conspiracy and speculation, you can see how a simple phrase like “manipulate time and space” uttered by a government official would light up the radar of every conspiracy theorist and sci-fi buff out there. It’s like hitting the jackpot of buzzwords, confirming in their minds that “they’re doing something secretly, I knew it!” From Philadelphia to Pegasus to Montauk to TikTok, the story evolves, but the core allure is the same: the idea that the powers-that-be might have broken the laws of nature behind closed doors.
As a science-minded person, I approach these tales with a skeptical eye and a sense of humor. It’s not that I think our government is infallible (far from it), but bending time and space isn’t exactly easy to hide. If you could teleport, you wouldn’t need to spend trillions on aircraft carriers and space rockets, you know?
And the more people that would be involved in such projects, the harder it becomes to keep the secret. Still, I have to admit, reading these stories or watching a conspiracy-laden YouTube video at 2am can be weirdly fun. It’s like modern mythology.
The key is knowing the line between enjoying a good yarn and accepting evidence-based reality. And reality, as far as anyone can prove, is that we don’t have a Captain America-style Time Stone tucked away in Washington.
Why Do These Ideas Keep Coming Up?
After all this, one question remains: Why do we keep talking about this? Why do claims of time travel, warp drives, and government cover-ups resurface again and again, capturing public imagination?
There’s a few reasons, I think, that go to the heart of human nature:
Our Fascination with Breaking Limits: Time and space are the ultimate limits on our lives. We all live within time’s one-way arrow, we age, we remember the past but can’t visit it, we wonder about the future but can’t jump ahead. And we’re stuck on one pale blue dot in the vast expanse of space, at least for now.
The dream of shattering those limits is profoundly alluring. Who hasn’t daydreamed about going back in time to change something, or fast-forwarding to see what the future holds? Or wished you could beam yourself instantly to a friend on the other side of the world (especially during long airport layovers)? These dreams are ancient – from H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine to modern Marvel movies, we constantly explore them in fiction.
So when a hint of it appears in reality (or even quasi-reality through a rumor), people latch on. It’s hope, excitement, and curiosity all bundled together.
Mistrust and the Allure of Secrets: There’s also a conspiratorial mindset that runs through society, not entirely without cause. Governments have kept big secrets (the Manhattan Project in WWII, for example, or various intelligence operations).
So some folks have a default assumption that anything is possible and maybe hidden. If time travel were possible, of course it would be classified! This mindset finds confirmation in quotes like Kratsios’s. Even if he meant it metaphorically, to a suspicious mind it’s “they’re hinting at the truth, slip of the tongue!” In an age where we know about stealth bombers, quantum computing, and other once-fantastical tech, it doesn’t feel entirely implausible that there could be even crazier stuff in R&D.
And let’s be honest, it’s more exciting to think something’s there than to accept that we just haven’t gotten there yet. Conspiracy theories often thrive because they make the world seem more interesting (or more nefarious) than it might actually be.
The Influence of Pop Culture: Our imaginations have been primed by pop culture to accept (and even expect) these ideas. Many of us grew up with movies and books where time machines and warp drives are commonplace. So we have a cultural reference point for them.
When someone says “manipulate time and space,” it hits differently because we’ve seen Tony Stark do it on screen. There’s a blending of fiction and our expectations of reality. We almost want life to imitate art. I’ll admit, after watching Back to the Future, I spent way too long hoping someone would invent a hoverboard (a real one, not those wheeled things) by the year 2015 as the movie predicted.
It didn’t happen (darn physics) but the mindset was there. Similarly, a lot of people joke (half-seriously) that “the government probably has tech 50 years ahead of what we see.” So why not time tech? It’s a small leap from stealth planes to UFOs in Hangar 18 in Roswell, or from fast computers to secret time portals. The line between entertainment and speculation can get blurry, especially on social media. And once an idea catches on, it can reinforce itself in echo chambers.
Human Longing and Hope: On a more philosophical note, I think we keep revisiting these ideas because of what they represent. Time travel speaks to our longing to correct mistakes or relive cherished moments (who wouldn’t want one more day with a lost loved one, or a chance to undo a regret?).
Warping space promises an end to isolation, a world (or galaxy) where distance isn’t a barrier, where we could explore new frontiers or unite with others instantly.
These are hopeful visions. Even the darker conspiracy versions tap into a kind of hope: the hope that there is something more beyond the humdrum of our daily physics-bound lives. That maybe we’re not stuck in the mundane, maybe there’s magic (via science) happening that one day we’ll be a part of.
As a die-hard science fan, I don’t believe in magic, but I do believe in human ingenuity. And I share that hopeful outlook, I want things like warp drives to become real, however far-fetched they sound now. That hope keeps us dreaming and, importantly, researching. Today’s crazy theory can be tomorrow’s breakthrough if pursued by smart enough minds. (A century ago, the idea of manipulating the atom for energy was pure fiction, then came Fermi and Oppenheimer.
Who’s to say some future Einstein won’t crack a path to traversable wormholes?)
In the end, the viral quote “America can manipulate time and space” turned out to be more metaphor than reality – a fanciful phrase about technology’s power, not an admission of a secret time-twisting device. But the reason it resonated so widely is because it sits at the crossroads of science and imagination, where we’re constantly grappling with the possibilities (and impossibilities) of our universe.
It sparked conversations about real physics and wild conspiracies alike, and here we are, still talking about it.
Personally, I find that pretty wonderful. Not that misinformation or misinterpretation are good, but the fact that people care enough about these profound concepts to get excited (or even paranoid) means science still captures the public’s imagination. As a science communicator and enthusiast, I’ll take passionate curiosity (even if a bit misguided) over apathy any day. It gives us a chance to engage, explain, debunk, and also dream.
So, can America manipulate time and space? No, not in the sci-fi sense, at least not as far as any credible evidence shows. We can’t vault you into next week or teleport you to Tokyo. But we can manipulate the experience of time and space through technology (think of how the internet collapses distance, or how a plane makes a cross-country trip feel short). And using physics, we know how to ride the waves of spacetime in limited ways, astronauts do a tiny bit of time travel every time they orbit Earth, and maybe one day we’ll figure out how to ride a warp bubble to the stars.
Until then, it’s healthy to keep our feet on the ground (literally on Earth, since we can’t yet beam up) and our minds open. Enjoy the science fiction, but check it against science fact. Be skeptical, but don’t lose that sense of wonder. After all, today’s cutting-edge science was yesterday’s fiction.
Just ask Jules Verne or Arthur C. Clarke.
And if you, like me, remain endlessly fascinated by the intersection of real physics and the fantastical, there’s a great book I highly recommend: Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku. It’s a fun, accessible exploration of exactly these kinds of questions – from time travel to force fields – by a renowned physicist, and it helps separate what’s actually plausible from what’s just fanciful dreaming.
I remember reading it and feeling that childlike excitement about science all over again, even as Kaku soberly explains the hurdles. It’s a reminder that the line between “impossible” and “possible” can shift over time with human innovation.
America (and humanity at large) may not have mastered time-space manipulation yet, but we’re on an amazing journey of discovery. We’ve learned to slow time (a little), stretch space (in theory), and we continue to push at the edges of the cosmic speed limit. Along the way, we’ve spun some incredible stories, some inspiring, some cautionary, some completely off-the-wall.
Perhaps the real magic is not in literally bending time and space, but in our ability to imagine it and strive for it. It says a lot about us that we won’t be satisfied until those far-flung possibilities become reality. And who knows? Give it a few centuries and what was metaphor in 2025 might just be an instruction manual.
Until then, keep watching the skies... and the speeches. You never know what you’ll hear next! (But maybe take the sensational claims with a grain of salt and a wink.)
After all, the future – and perhaps eventually time itself – belongs to the curious.
