Hold my beer and watch.

Just because time progresses doesn't mean the laws of physics and chemistry change and allow the impossible to happen. Some things are just not physically possible. It is obvious that our understanding of the physical world gets better over time and technology advances, but all things have limits. It is not poor thinking to understand there are limits; it is actually precise thinking and not chasing and idea down a rabbit hole. And technology always comes with a price, and price always drives practical advancement of technology, especially when it comes to commercial products.

And I don't hold anyone's beer, but thanks for the offer.
