Quote:Dhalgren aside, I believe causes should precede effects. Do buy that book -- it's better than acid for expanding your mind. I also believe that the universe is an infinite onion -- removing each layer uncovers a layer below and hints at many more. The map will never be the terrain. But those are my beliefs. Any, or all of them may be wrong (well, OK, not the one about Dhalgren). And all of them are subject to change if evidence to the contrary slaps me across the face.
Like I said, I've thought a lot about this. If anyone wants the long version, let me know. :w00t:

IMO, if FTL is possible it's going to be based on Quantum Tunnelling on a macroscopic scale, ie, folding space. Simply to start at point A and your destination is point B, you make point A and point B exist in relative close proximity and then travel the short distance from point A to point B, then make the two points exist at their original locations.

Einstein said Everything is Relative.
Heisenberg said Everything is Uncertain.
Therefore, everything is relatively uncertain.
