US Tech Chief Claims Advanced Technologies Can 'Manipulate Time and Space'

Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, claimed during a recent technology conference that the U.S. possesses technology capable of manipulating 'time and space,' though he did not specify whether this was meant literally or metaphorically. His remarks, delivered at the Endless Frontiers Retreat in Texas, referenced American advances in fields such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and semiconductors, and lamented a stagnation in technological progress since the mid-20th century. Kratsios called for renewed innovation to recapture the momentum of past decades and emphasized the need to overcome regulatory hurdles that have slowed advancement. The comments have ignited speculation and conspiracy theories online, particularly given the lack of specifics about the technologies involved. Observers noted that, currently, no publicly known device exists that can literally manipulate time and space, suggesting Kratsios may have been using hyperbolic language to describe recent breakthroughs. The Trump administration continues to focus on ambitious technological initiatives, including space exploration and emerging tech policy reform.
