This is what technology has become.
>>54363927
Faster then light travel is literally impossible due to relativity. Nice commentary you pleeb.
>>54363962
Relativity is just a theory.
You know, the concept behind those buttons are not bad if:
A. We were allowed to program it with whatever the fuck we want to order.
OR
B. The selection of said items was much better and with better quantities and not like "you have to order 4 cases of shit when you only need 1".
>>54363962
That sort of thinking is so 4th dimensional.
Having Red Bulls delivered on your door in three days or less by just pressing a button is WAY more important than faster-than-light travel.
>>54363969
Oh fuck off.
>>54364046
It is, though, just a theory.
Do you disagree?
>>54363962
you need to update your database they have already photographed galaxies moving faster than light away from us. no I'm not going to post a source its common knowledge now and you can do a quick google for it.
>>54363962
Technically we will not be moving faster but we might be able to bend space so we can travel the same distance relatively in less time.

I don't. Light is a wave and a particle. One is a frequency which can be increased and the other can be trapped & accelerated. It is only a matter of time before God allows us the knowledge of how to do both.

You can increase frequency while decreasing wavelength, but this doesn't change speed. Speed of a wave is a property of the medium.

That was a hypothesis at best, not a theory.
You need to learn the difference.

A theory is a theory until its mathematically proven. The theories of relativity are assumed true but not mathematically proven.

Just like math proved the banach-tarski paradox?
https://youtube.com/watch?v=s86-Z-CbaHA
Math can't explain everything anon, even math has bugs in it
>>54364663
I think you're equating a theory with a law. Gravity can be mathematically explained, but we also need a theory for how the interaction of gravity occurs at a distance and such. Gravity also behaves much differently at the quantum level than it does at the interstellar level but this doesn't mean that the math describing one or the other is necessarily wrong, just not sufficient for all cases.
>>54364656
I applaud your effort in googling the basic definition of "theory", but as you were referring to the theory of relativity which is a scientific theory(differing from just "theory"), your definition does not correlate.
>A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method, and repeatedly confirmed through observation and experimentation.
So sit down.
>>54364663
Scientific theory and the scientific method differ from mathematical logic and recursion.
I'm not even that smart, this shit is like 10th grade math and basic science. Are you really that retarded?
>>54364736
Gravity is still a theory because we have never even observed a graviton. I understand what you are saying about quantum gravity, and some things that are irreconcilable between it and relativity, but it still doesn't make it not a theory.
>>54364724
Sure, but that means that there are things that will always remain theories. We don't get to say they are laws.

I actually work with physicists. So no.
And not really. They overlap a lot. The law of universal gravitation is a law. The theory that gravity is made of gravitons bending spacetime is a theory. Those are the differences.
>>54364770
Fine, I'll give you that. But focusing on things like FTL travel, which we haven't accomplished for years, is holding back our technological progress. We should focus on other things if we've focused on one thing for so long.
>>54364770
This is true. And while observing a graviton would yield a great deal more insight, it still wouldn't change the status of gravity as a theory imo. Perhaps under a grand unified theory you could declare it a law, but as long as we need separate models for different scales, I'm not sure we can call those models laws. Just my two cents.
Its not even instant. It's literally a $5 gadget that you have to wait for in the mail that lets you order things off amazon and wait for them in the mail.

we have spaceships, they're just too expensive for the likes of you. try being rich. also realize that everything is too far away for space to be fun. six months just to get to a lousy cold rusted planet

Which is why travelling faster then light might be possible.
For us there is no difference between space expanding or an object moving.

No, it isn't.
Why technology went slower
1. To make more money. Publishing something that will cover all needs = less money.
2. Researching new undiscovered things is expensive and may or may not be successful. So they stick to what they already know and make money out of it.
3. Researching things that might be dangerous could cause negative reaction against the company.

Will never happen because:
1.) The Resource and Fuel Requirements as well as Infrastructure Investment would be enormous and frankly inefficient compared to tried-and-true land vehicles.
2.) Potential for Terrorist Car Bombs to cause the next 9/11 with any large skyscraper
3.) Aviation is a lot harder and more risky than driving. Out of fuel means crash landing. This is why private aircraft remain out of reach for the middle class - Liability and Insurance jack up the price through the roof.
4.) Air Pollution and traffic noise would be horrendous
5.) You'd have just as much traffic congestion in Corsuscant as you would in LA Freeway 101, only now in 3 dimensions with cars above and below you.
