does this open a door to faster-than-light travel?

If only we could see we are everywhere always. Travel is an illusion.

Well if that's the case, then there has to be some nonuniformity somewhere somehow that causes us to think we're only in one place.

Huh.

I'm going to walk down the lane to pick up yesterdays mail.

Are you saying that I won't really move, but that instead the earth, and all the rest of you poor saps will be forced to turn? The mailbox will slowing come into sight as I turn the world under my feet?

Yikes. Sounds like hard work.

How do I get out of this gravity well?

Ah, yes. Very Zen.

I think you're spreading yourself a little thin there, RW. We do not have the cognitive power to be able to encompass that much territory. Few of us can actually grasp more than a handful of points.
