Same way people in the past probably said there’s no way you can make anything work without a mechanical mechanism?
No, I don’t think it’s comparable. We’ve figured out most of the big picture, now it’s mostly just filling in gaps here and there and making correction. I doubt there is an entire new force or field hiding that would allow completley undetectable communications from us. Maybe you could do something with neutrinos, we’re quite bad at detecting them for now.
Can you imagine how different the universe looks if you just shift the electro magnetic waves you can see.
Yeah, I’ve looked through an infrared camera and seen pictures from x-ray telescopes.
Just called it a bit too early. But that’s mostly where we at now, technology is just catching up to theoretical physics. But I doubt we’ll get many more discoveries on the same society-changing level like electricity or radio waves were.
But hey, it would be much more interesting if I’m wrong.
We have absolutely not figured out most of the big picture.
One easy proof example: death. Everyone will experience this feeling, yet no one has a clue what happens with 100% certainly after death. Yet it’s one of the most fundamental things about life and existence. What is non-existence?

Of course we do. Unless steps are taken, it’s usually rotting and decomposing. There is literally farms where we study what happens to us after death. The physics of death are no mystery.

Lmao. I’ve heard that one before. Almost 200 year ago in fact.

I’m talking about the nature of the soul and spirit.
But this comment chain is about the limits that physics imposes on technology.
There is no evidence for the existence of souls or spirits, so they don’t really factor into that discussion.
