Wow, "years of work" on the most complex problem in science and it isnt fully developed. Who'da thunk. My guess is that we'll still be struggling with this theory centuries into the phase whence we've become capable of sub-light travel. And it will be ignored and never solved if space exploration is entirely privatized. They'll be much more interested in outsourcing laborious tasks to lower gravity off planet situations where corporations don't have to pay workers as much because things aren't as heavy Maybe not, have you heard the theory that if someone manage to look back far enough to observe the big bang itself, it will alter the nature of the big bang and thus alter the nature of the universe? i.e., The observer being part of the experiment, in altering the initial conditions of the big bang by observing it, the observer could undo themselves, preventing themselves from coming into existence and observing the big bang. Maybe you're right, we'll probably be struggling with it for centuries because every time we find the answer, we'll have to start over again. Either that, or find a Trafalmadorian and ask him.
