you know, some people say this about religion. i think anything is possible & i won't sit back for 1 second & believe that the universe is (theoretically) infinite yet there is not 1 species in it advanced enough to travel it & test US just like WE test animals & shit so we can understand them. people put all kinds of faith in miraculous shit but they can't believe some shit that's actually plausible. amazing.

Unfortunately, all the ways of circumventing physics are very unlikely to yield fruit. The things which are subject to statistical conjecture ("anything can happen") are events. Physics defines the RULES within which these events occur.
Take for example the idea that "you can go into a black hole and come out someplace else" (the old wormhole theory). I heard a physicist say, "Well, supposing something did go into a black hole and come out somewhere eise, there's no reason to believe it would maintain its structural integrity and come out the same thing on the other side. In fact, there's every reason to believe otherwise."
