The math says that is theoretically not impossible, and there's a distinction.

And so you're going to hear this throughout our discussion of what we like to explore is the not impossible, because we think that's where the answers are.

So to get back to this time thing, one of the things we explore is the possibility that there was some advanced civilization on Earth many hundreds of millions of years ago that

whose evidence has been covered up by the relentless reshaping of the surface of the planet with tectonic and so forth, various environmental things that happened that we wouldn't necessarily see evidence of it.

Unlikely, depending on where it was and so forth.

The Earth's crust has folded over on itself and got pushed under and subducted and blah, blah, blah.

And so what if there were an ancient species that discovered near-luminal travel, speed of light, or even faster?

And we can get into that later.

What are the possibilities for faster-than-light travel that aren't impossible?

And where that takes you is this civilization could have zipped out.

And to them, only spend a few years in space and come back a few hundred million years later.

Yeah.

Right?

That could be what we're seeing.

Is it likely?

No.

But is it impossible?

We can't say.

As she said, we know so little.

To say that something's impossible is somewhat wrong.
