You mean the one that gets posted on reddit almost every day, "Think about what we'll know tomorrow"

Yeah, but Time travel is a whole different thing.

People keep regurgitating "yeah but we also didn't think people could fly" Yeah but we knew it was possible, Birds fly. Nothing in the universe travels through time.

Yes "That we know of", but inadvertently, if something like that is so hard to find, it might just give credit to just how outside of the realm of possibility it really is for gigantic, living creatures such as us to do it.

Science fiction and television have made the prospect seem so tangible, when in reality it's a lot like asking "Will we ever be able to shoot giant beams of energy out of our hands and destroy mountains like in Dragon Ball Z?"

The answer is no. Not just because "we don't know how to do it yet" but because it's literally impossible to the point where it doesn't make any sense at all.

Should we just stop trying? Lol no, That's not what I'm saying and that would be ridiculous, I'm saying it's not an active field of study, because the road to get to it either doesn't exist, or is so so so so unimaginably far out of reach, it may as well be impossible.
