So I was day dreaming and I caught a thought. What if what we understand about physics is actually all there is to understand? What if you objectively cannot move faster than the speed of light because you can’t do the time traveling things necessary. This would mean that the only way to travel amongst the stars would be to...

Maybe our desire to explore space is immature. There may be whole other types of space that we can’t see because we don’t have the tech.
