But he admits that there will be a lot of work to do before we can manipulate space-time in a way that makes “hops” possible.

That is going to be the most important scientific discovery in history. Each of us could hop over to his own personal utopia, whatever that is. You name it, you've got it.

Well then perhaps we could build a bridge to the 0bamaverse, because, for too long we’ve been status quoing in this one and some folks just can’t tolerate it any more.

“It’s a cookbook!” LOL.

“a consequence of models”, eh? well, that settles it. only establishing a consensus would be more convincing than that

So science does like metaphysics after all!

If it’s on their terms.

A subatomic particle only occupies the space that Obama allows. Any physicist can tell you that.

Apparently a few people are already getting through from the other side. How else to explain this?

merely that space is infinite

This one line got me thinking. Infinite means infinite, so one could conceivably travel forever. (Some people think space curves in on itself, but that would be a finite volume, like a balloon.)

I realize that the knowledge that we have is like a grain of sand on a beach compared to all the knowledge that is to be had. That leaves lots of room for parallel universes. Are figments of our imagination more than figments of imagination?

Worlds separated by nanoseconds would be so similar a person wouldn't know if they had "hopped". Astronauts are a few seconds off - maybe a million worlds away - and yet "here"....

The “many worlds” interpretation of quantum mechanics is an attempt to resolve the “measurement problem” by saying that all such measurements occur and define a branching reality. The quantum space time is reduced, or amplified, into a stupendously multifarious and phantasmogoric static space-time, and our subjective life journey is held to be an illusion, with the apparent “nowness” that we experience occurring at all times and places equally, and with equal conviction of uniqueness.

This construct bears no resemblance whatsoever to the popular notion of parallel universes, which includes the possibility of people and objects moving between them.

Your own personal Utopia?

It reminds me of the movie "What Dreams May Come." An older Robin Williams flick. Good movie even though I can't stand his acting.
