I know we have been talking about some Sci-Fi stuff past couple of days. Some requires some deep thoughts. You shouldn't let yourself get lost in these thought. Make things you can control the priority. I consider this type of talk fun time. Some may not and best to avoid the topic all together.

The things labeled sci-fi has an affect on the brain for many people.
We have been conditioned to think sci fi cannot be real and it literally shuts off a form of reasoning in the brain.
Consciousness imo resides outside of our bodies and brains. We tap into consciousness like dialing in a radio receiver.
Some people get the German station, some the French station... It all depends on how open we are and become to receive and digest new knowledge. Many inventors including Von Braun said that they do not possess the knowledge, rather it comes to them.
If we can dream it, theoretically we can design and make it.
I give an example of lizards and dogs- a lizard can see in a different spectrum and a dog hears in a different frequency range. We only know what is out there by the limits of our brain and what we perceive. Hence time travel, switching timelines and spiritual aspects of the metaphysical.
If everyone thought apples at the same time, apples would fall from the sky.
