Reply to comment by AlabamaNerd in Why FTL travel seems impossible to me from a practical standpoint. Insight requested. by JerryWasARaceCarDrvr

But we've seen one. We've never seen anything going FTL and we've done countless particle collisions and have seen countless extremely violent things in space with our telescopes that would completely blow your mind.

And nothing we've ever seen points to FTL being possible in the slightest.

We've also never come up with a method of traveling FTL on paper either using our best physics.

FTL is impossible.

But in 1783 when black holes were theorized, we hadn’t seen one. So, again, your argument is specious.

Plenty of things were theorized before we had any evidence of them. FTL is no different.

We've never come up with a method for FTL even on paper chief. You are not understanding this important fact.

We have also never seen anything moving FTL, not even the most exotic particles in the TRILLIONS of particle collisions we've done in particle colliders.

Quantum entanglement has entered the chat.

No just a person who doesn't understand quantum entanglement because they read bad click bait articles.

You can't use quantum entanglement to send anything FTL. Sorry. This is well understood.

Information is a thing. So yes, you can.

How am I wrong when I've given a link to an actual expert saying you can't use entanglement for FTL communication?

Where is your evidence? Or right, probably some TV show you saw once...

Nope you can't even send info FTL. You don't understand this at all.

Here is a well known expert proving you are wrong and I'm right. Weird...

Look him up on Wikipedia..

You believe you can from bad articles from other people who don't understand these subjects and from TV and movies which get everything wrong.
