A comment by White House science adviser Michael Kratsios has gone viral after a speech in which he claimed U.S. technology can “manipulate time and space,” prompting online speculation.
Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, made the remark during a policy address at the Endless Frontiers Retreat in Austin, Texas on April 14.
“Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity,” Kratsios said during prepared remarks published on the official White House website.
While the statement was likely intended as aspirational language about technological progress, it has since circulated widely online, with some interpreting the comment literally.

Ok, so your on drugs. It’s not a particularly unique technology tho.
Manipulating time and space, hrm. I’m going to guess they bought themselves a snowglobe.

I - too - can walk, garden, and drink coffee.
I can too.
I can move through space all the way to next to my nightstand and change the clock’s time with a little wheel behind it.
Go where no sane person has been before.

I never considered the world where we invent the ability to accelerate time, and just use it for making workers work more shifts so they die even younger just to extract more value relative to those without the technology.
