(Not folding space) Instant Travel Form A-B? But Not Time (theory)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores a theory of instant travel between points A and B without manipulating space or time, based on the concept of a multiverse and brane theory. It suggests that if one could penetrate the branes containing parallel universes, they could theoretically access any point in our universe instantly. The theory posits that the universe lacks a fixed shape, allowing for potential re-entry at any spatial location. However, it concludes that time travel remains unattainable through this method, as branes exist within time, and the only known means of time travel would require exceeding the speed of light, which is deemed impossible. The conversation highlights the intersection of theoretical physics and speculative ideas about travel across dimensions.

Stop me if this is total poop or if it has been theorized already:

My theory of instant travel (I hope).
The universe has no area or shape, one of the most recent theories is that there is not just one universe but a “multiverse” made up of an infinite number of universes. These universes are "contained" in membranes or "branes" (So it is called “the brane theory”). Theoretically if one were to find a way to penetrate this brane then one could travel to and from these "universes". Also the theory states that these universes are parallel to our own, so they "play out" all possibilities that could have happened, are happening and will happen. Now if you aren’t interested in traveling inter-dimensionally then, in my opinion, one could travel to any point in our universe without the need to travel faster than light or the need to fold, bend or otherwise manipulate space or time. My theory is that, because the universe has no shape or fixed area (infinite), it is possible to re-enter our universe at any point in space. So if one could some how control the point at which they renter the universe, then one could travel to any point in space instantly, or near instantly. However, traveling in time can not be achieve this way because, as I understand it, these branes, or universes, exist in time, not our own. This can be said to be proven by the theory that "The Big Bang" was caused by the collision between two of these branes, and so they must exist in time for "The Big Bang" to have happened at a point in that time. So the current theory that the only way to travel in time, if any way exists, is to exceed the speed of light, which is theoretically impossible.

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
