I think this discussion is stiffled by our limited knowledge. The problem is that for all intents and purposes we have existed as a technical civilization for a mere century give or take. On top of that by classifications of civilizations, we exist as a type 0, we cannot harness our owns planet resources efficently, space travel is pathetic in our own solar system, let alone galaxy. Anything we say is effectivly moot, theory which holds true by reason is impractical. If our current mold of math and science withholds, space travel is impractical, if not impossible for anything effective. But if we look at the various theories there are ways to skirt our boundaries. In theory tons of shit is possible, such as the warping of space as a means of travel; sure the nearest star is 4 light years away, but if you can manipulate space time there is no need to travel that distance, all you need do is cross the fold that was manipulated. Infusing all of those Einstein-Rosen bridges and worm holes is interesting. All I'm saying for us is this subject is by and large grey, seems to hold as a false-positive situation; we cannot really disprove anything, at the same time there is no way of proving anything. All of this comes at the behest of my limited research, research that comes from various books I have in my bathroom for toilet reading.
Anybody here read Chariot of the Gods? I thought the book put forth some interesting points and ideas, don't know how well the book has stood up to scrutiny in the last 30 years though.
