1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

I hold that the physics this world's establishment holds-to is obviously flatland "physics", as it doesn't include mind/will, and you CAN'T have real physics, if you're handwaving & saying "oh, but those phenomena aren't really real". The fact that .. Jacob? ( see Curt Jaimungal's videos, on yt ) discovered that the difference between statistical-probability theory vs quantum-probability theory, is that quantum-probability includes knowing. Knowing, aka "information", as physicists call it, is physics-real. Pretending that information is real, but knowing isn't, is .. defective. Pretending that knowing is real but mind isn't real, is absolutely shameless. Ideological-prejudice is what's really going on. Look for the "Non-Markovian" probability video, & you'll see it spelt out plain as day: knowing is physics-required.
The fundamental-technology should be possible, but the durations might be absurd.
the way it works is this:
Speed-of-light-limitation is WITHIN a given SPACE.
So, if you've got time & multiple different 3D-spaces ( think leaves on a branch: each leaf being a 3D-space ), then the speed-of-light-limitation in EACH is limited-to limiting speeds in THAT space:
There isn't any speed-limit BETWEEN spaces, see?
So, "rotating" from another space into OUR space, then moving 100km within our space, then "rotating" back into their space, means you've now moved 3 parsecs..
Simply because our 3D-space & their 3D-space don't happen to be at the same "angle" to the universe's underlying-structure..
then travel which is simultaneously slower ( from the perspective of the traveler ) & faster ( from the perspective of they got from point A to point B faster than light within this space could have done ) becomes doable.
So, it'd be required to 1. know the underlying-structure of the universe, 2. be able to engage a "rotation" from our 3D-space to another one, intentionally, & make it be one that is travel-useful ( that may not be possible ), & then 3. do that rotation, move within that other space, & then "rotate" back into our space, at a drastically-different location.
All that'd be required is for the "rotation" to remove our having inertia/mass within this 3D-space for it to be useful, but more-complete "rotation" may be required for accomplishing real interstellar travel.
IF you go look for Susskind's "Time as a Fractal Flow" video, on yt, watch it to the end, as the lightbulb goes on at the end, mentally..
but consider the implications of that:
IF time is fractal, THEN space must also be, since they're part of the same 4D thing.
NOBODY in physics is dealing with it that way, ttbomk.
& if space is fractal, then it simultaneously is, & isn't, there, & that may be usable.
( it's there from within it, but it can be not-there from the perspective of other 3D-spaces which simply don't "see" it: because each is only fractionally-dimensional, they can all be crammed into some kind of superspace, without colliding with each-other )
Anyways, this is just how the shape of it feels, & as I figure-out more, this understanding gets revised, but that's the fundamental sense of it.
There are .. thousands? of 3D-spaces in this universe, & we're in 1 of them.
Electromagnetism is limited to within a 3D-space, but gravity isn't: it diffuses throughout them all.
"Dark Matter" is just conventional matter in other 3D-spaces which are .. how to say that .. "coincident" with our 3D-space, but the falsifying-quotes are important: their 3D-space & ours are not-colliding, they are each fractional-dimension/fractals.
So, we've got "Dark Matter" galaxies simply because there isn't any matter in OUR 3D-space, but in other 3D-spaces which are coinciding with ours, without colliding, there ARE actual-matter galaxies, & their gravity is present, weakly, in our 3D-space ( I'm presuming that gravity is weaker between-3D-spaces, that may not be true, or if it is true, it may be .. anywhere from slightly-weaker to orders-of-magnitude weaker )
We've got a couple diffuse galaxies with NO "Dark Matter", simply because there's matter in OUR 3D-space, but not in the other, underlying-us 3D-spaces..
etc.
It also affects the smoothness of the Cosmic Microwave Background, too: instead of requiring that space inflated at zillions-of-times-the-speed-of-light, you can instead have thousands, or zillions, of dimensions expanding, all of the 3D-spaces expanding, but none of them going translight..
& you get the same degree of smoothness, because it's happening in more dimensions, simultaneously, instead of happening in only 1x 3D-space, at translight speed..
The fact that gravity is nonlinear & QM is linear ( another of Curt Jaimungal's videos, some utterly-hyper balding scrawney guy explaining this ), so if you put mass somewhere, the mass's gravitational-field ITSELF has gravity/gravitational-field: it's self-amplifying, whereas all quantum-mechanics stuff is linear.. proves that the 2 theories are fundamentally incompatible: they're different KINDS of mechanics.
I'm saying that all the QM stuff is within-a-3D-space, & that gravity isn't within-a-single-3D-space: it's affecting ALL of them, simultaneously.
& that we need to discover the underlying-structure which gets both perspectives into the correct relationship.
