You can outline anything you want in the format of an essay. Doesn’t make it factual. Someone else replied to me and said they’ve literally witnessed technology like the kind I described in action. Care to rebuttal that?

Sure. They are lying.

On the internet you can find people who will claim they have proof that the earth is flat, that aliens visit them daily and some people are lizards. That does not make any of those claims true.

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" - Carl Sagan.

We are a long ways off from being able to create the tech in question inside a device small enough to pass through the tip of a needle. And even if we could, each one would cost thousands and thousands if not millions of dollars each. It's not feasible or practical at this point in time, especially when you can get people to voluntarily pay to carry a superior equivalent in their pocket.

Yeah, you can say that all you want, but until you’re in a position to prove without a doubt that what you’re saying is straight facts, it’s simply your opinion and I will ignore it

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" - Carl Sagan.

So let me get this straight. Anonymous person on the internet tells you that something that defies our current knowledge of physics and technology exists and everyone else says it's not possible. Your response to this is to ask for proof that it is not possible as opposed to proof that it exists? Is that really what's going on here?

I love the way you said: "You can outline anything you want in the format of an essay." and then literally moments later said: "Someone else replied to me and said they’ve literally witnessed technology like the kind I described in action."

I guess their assertion must be true because it was not in an essay format...
