So when it all comes down to it, this is just an interesting theory? It's an example of abstract mathematics with no real world merit? I was going to post earlier that even though we're able to calculate things happening on pen and paper using mathematic logic, the real world has checks and limits on such things. If we were to travel at the speed of light, would we not disintegrate and would the craft we were flying in not disintegrate too because of the heat it would cause?
But there must be more to this since it's been studied and talked about for years. It must have some application somewhere?
