The White House Claims it Has Secret Tech That Can 'Manipulate Time and Space' and 'Leave Distance Annihilated'
As any fiction author will tell you, time travel is hard to write. First, it's a hard concept to grasp, which is why The Doctor's explanation of how time is "a big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey ... stuff" is one of the most quoted lines in the show's 50-plus years. It's as good as any.
Also, every time travel story opens a Pandora's Box of plot holes, paradozes, and questions without answers. I mean, Avengers Endgame was great fun. Until you realize all the horrible world events Steve Rogers just sat back and allowed to happen, just because his second go-round at life was all about getting biz-ayy with Peggy Carter. (Can any man really blame him?) Same with the Terminator franchise. Back to the Future. Name any story that involves time travel, and it doesn't stand up to even a little scrutiny
But mostly because the ability to bend time and space would basically mean unlimited power. All of existence would at one's disposal to do with as they wished. To shape events to suit your will. Retroactively destroy anyone who stands in your way before they ever stood in your way.
Which might be precisely what the United States of America has. At least if you listen to what the White House has been saying lately.
A couple of weeks ago, the Commander in Chief talked on camera about unspecified, unimaginable "weaponry" at our disposal, more powerful than anyone else's:
And you can make of that what you will. He's not just prone to hyperbole; it's a tactic he uses all the time. And since this statement barely made a ripple in the national discourse, I think most people just assumed he's making unsubstantiated claims just to scare other governments and terror groups so they'll straighten up and fly right. That's he's bluffing. Pulling the old "This is a nice country you've got here. It'd be a shame if anyone with a secret superweapon came along and wrecked" gag.
But then, there was this. Which doesn't sound like a hyperbolic tactics or bluffs at all. But very specific claims by someone with a very serious job title:

I'm not about to sit here with my high school Intro to Physics knowledge and my state college education and take a deep dive into what Braniac 3000 is saying. But I've watched enough cable shows about Einstein's theories to agree with these guys when they say that talking about being able to "manipulate time and space," sounds a lot like being able to control gravity:
And other such wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff.
Which sounds a lot like one of the most rational explanations for the UFO/UAP phenomena we've been experiencing. And one of the most common. That they are us.
It would make sense. The hypothesis that the military has been developing highly advanced aircraft in complete secrecy using a whole new propulsion system based on bending gravity waves around them is as plausible as any that's been floated. Yes, it's a technology that's unimaginable in an age of clumsy, inefficient internal combustion engines burning fossil fuels and jet turbines spitting air out the back to propel them forward. But there was a time when the atomic bomb was only theoretical too. The Manhattan Project developed the Bomb in absolute secrecy too. Despite spending millions and having 100,000 people working on it, to the point they built actual towns for them to work in. Same with Stealth plane technology and countless other top secret weapons programs.
Anyway, this would explain a lot. The UFO/UAP sightings. All the secrecy and coverups. The congressional investigation that has yielded practically no results. The Pentagon's inability to pass an audit. Secret bases in the middle of nowhere whose existences were denied before they were confirmed. Possibly how Tom Brady was able to win a seventh Super Bowl well into his 40s has something to do with bending spacetime.
If it's real, we should all be grateful our science guys invented this before anybody else's. If it is just another bluff, it's one hell of a bold one. But I guess you don't really need the technology to "annihilate distance"; you just need your enemies to be convinced you have it.
But I hope it is true. And we get the big reveal on it as soon as possible. It's hard to imagine anyone starting any trouble in the world once the US proves we can teleport anywhere in the world instantaneously and make them wish they'd never gotten out of line. As another great time traveler put it, the best weapon is one you only have to use once:
